What this site is
telcodex.io — The 6G Standards & Architecture Codex — is your go-to hub for making sense of sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks as they take shape inside 3GPP, the global partnership that writes the mobile standards. We cut through hundreds of pages of specifications and bring the essentials together in one place: the latest 6G timeline, the features under study, and the network architecture — all in plain language and kept current as the standards move.
Who it is for
Engineers, product and strategy teams, analysts, researchers, students, and anyone who wants to stay ahead of 6G without drowning in specification detail. Whether you are planning for the next decade of mobile or simply curious where 5G is heading next, start here.
How it is sourced
The content is built strictly from public 3GPP material — release overviews, study and work items, the published timeline, and the specification corpus. Each topic cites the relevant Technical Report (TR) or Technical Specification (TS). Where a detail cannot be confirmed from the specification text, we say so rather than presenting it as settled.
- We summarise and paraphrase; we do not republish 3GPP specification text or figures.
- Diagrams are original illustrations drawn for this site.
- 3GPP specification numbers and defined terms are used for identification only.
Editorial approach
6G standardization is ongoing and much of it is still at the study stage. We flag what is agreed versus what is under study or merely planned, and we date each snapshot so readers know how current it is. The site is updated as the standards progress.
