China has expanded its 6G lead through successful tests, the phone Arena website reported on November 27.
Although we are still in the early stages of using the 5G network, it is not too early to start 6G development, the report said. As in 5G, Chinese companies have taken the lead in next-generation wireless technology. ZTE Corporation, a Chinese mobile phone and telecommunications equipment maker, has completed the testing of 6G key technology concept prototypes in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's IT Home website recently reported.
$ZTE (00763.HK)$It provides manpower and material resources for the test. The company participated in five tests including: 6G distributed autonomous network and digital twin network concept prototype, 6G computing network key technology concept prototype, 6G terahertz key technology concept prototype, 6G communication perception integration key technology concept prototype, 6G intelligent hypersurface technology key technology concept prototype.
It is reported that the results of the test are remarkable. However, there is still a long way to go for 6G technology to realize the application potential like 5G.
Last year, China's State intellectual property Office announced that China had led the world in 6G-related patent applications, with about 38000 patent applications for 6G communications technology globally, of which 35 per cent were Chinese patent applications.
According to reports, Sweden$LM Ericsson Telephone (ERIC.US)$A ten-year plan is under way to launch 6G services around 2030. Although 6G standards still need to be discussed and agreed upon, some people believe that 6G download data speed is expected to reach 1Tbps, about 1000 times the speed of 5G network.
In 2019, then-President Trump called on American companies to develop 6G technology as soon as possible, but in fact, China is once again at the forefront of 6G development.
With the development of 5G technology, it is expected to play a role in self-driving cars, remote surgery, and many areas that we have not even imagined, the report said. The application prospect of 6G technology is inestimable. The only thing we know for sure is that 6G allows people to do more things faster than ever before.
