# Agriculture 5.0 in Colombia: Opportunities Through the Emerging 6G Network
## 2 Background
### Scenarios of 6G Use  
IMT-2020 set the groundwork for 5G by outlining three key areas of advanced connectivity. (1) eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband) targeted high-quality multimedia consumption, including virtual and augmented reality applications. (2) uRLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications) enabled the deployment of ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, ideal for industrial systems and mission-critical applications. (3) mMTC (Massive Machine-Type Communications) facilitated the connection of millions of IoT devices, optimizing the development of smart cities and large-scale automation [21]. Figure 2 shows the IMT-2030's projections for 6G extend these scenarios with advanced capabilities [22; 23]. (1) eMBB++ will incorporate holographic communications and augmented reality, enhancing digital interaction. (2) uRLLC++ will power autonomous networks and quantum computing, ensuring more secure and efficient connectivity. (3) mMTC++ will enable the global interconnection of trillions of IoT devices, optimizing digitization across multiple sectors. In addition, (4) ISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communication) will integrate environmental sensing and connectivity, while (5) QCN (Quantum Secure Networks) will ensure advanced data protection through quantum cryptography [24]. \begin{table}

Table 3: _Cont._In this context, 6G promises to deliver smarter, faster, and more secure connectivity, driving the global digital evolution. Figure 2 presents the so-called \"wheel diagram\" developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which outlines the six usage scenarios defined under the IMT-2030 framework for the advancement 6G mobile networks. This model extends the capabilities of IMT-2020 (5G) by evolving enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) into Immersive Communication, massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) into Massive Communication, and Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) into Hyper-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (HRLLC). It also presents three completely novel scenarios for use: seamless connectivity everywhere, the fusion of AI with communication, and the unification of sensing and communication technologies. The emergence of 6G networks represents a strategic opportunity to transform Colombian agriculture through the advanced integration of technologies such as AI and the IoT.
