NTIA to Make the 2028 Olympics a 6G Testbed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2025 – Adam Cassady, principal deputy assistant secretary of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, said Wednesday that artificial intelligence and 6G were “already converged.”

Cassady said NTIA’s plans to showcase emerging 6G technologies during the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, an initiative dubbed Mission LA 2028 that will serve as a live demonstration of AI-powered networking and advanced connectivity applications.

“The idea is simple,” Cassady said, “take the most ambitious, forward-leaning 6G concepts – integrated sensing, AI-powered networking, immersive experiences – and show the world that they can work, safely and securely, at scale – and, proverbially, ahead of time and under budget.”
