Why does 6G run so fast

  The latest 6G speed created by Chinese scientists has surprised many netizens: Zijinshan Laboratory, together with teams from Southeast University, Pengcheng Laboratory, Fudan University and China Mobile, has built a domestically leading 6G research project with the support of national key R&D projects such as 6G projects. In the photonic terahertz experimental environment, the real-time wireless transmission of terahertz with a net rate of 103.125Gbps for a single wavelength and a net rate of 206.25Gbps for two wavelengths was realized for the first time, and the communication rate was increased by 10 to 20 times compared with 5G. The highest transmission record for real-time wireless communication.

  Many netizens expressed confusion: I haven't experienced 5G yet, and 6G is coming soon?

Is it necessary for 6G to run so fast?

  From the perspective of industry rules, 6G must be deployed in advance.

  The first generation of mobile communication technology began in the 1980s. From the 1G era to the current 5G era, mobile communication is basically upgraded every 10 years.

And whenever a new generation of mobile communication begins to be commercialized, research on the new generation of mobile communication has already started, because it takes about 10 years to be commercialized.

  The first year of 5G commercial use in my country is 2019. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued 4 5G licenses, marking the beginning of 5G commercial use.

Also in 2019, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other relevant ministries and commissions held a kick-off meeting for 6G technology research and development, announcing the establishment of the National 6G Technology Research and Development Promotion Working Group and the National 6G Technology Research and Development General Expert Group.

China's 5G commercialization and 6G technology research and development were launched in the same year, which is in line with the development law of mobile communication technology.

  Terahertz wireless communication is recognized as the core component of the 6G mobile communication system. The achievement of breaking the world record this time is the staged achievement of China's 6G research and development ahead of schedule.

It is a laboratory achievement and is far from the commercial stage.

Industry insiders predict that 6G will be commercially available around 2030.

Netizens don't have to worry that the 5G mobile phone in their hands "will not be fragrant in an instant".

  From the perspective of technology accumulation, China's 6G research and development has advantages.

  At present, countries are extremely competitive in terms of 6G patents.

Japan released a survey report in September 2021, analyzing about 20,000 registered and pending patents by country and region in nine 6G core technology fields including communication technology, quantum technology, base stations and artificial intelligence.

The results show that China ranks first with 40.3% of the global 6G patent applications, the United States ranks second with 35.2%, and Japan ranks third with 9.9%.

  To formulate international standards for communication technology is the main strategic goal and focus of competition in the communication technology industry.

Throughout the history of mobile communications from 1G to 5G, every change in information and communication technology is accompanied by competition for technical standards.

Countries with more patent applications tend to have a greater say in setting industry standards.

China is currently excelling in international 6G R&D, which lays the foundation for industry competition in the next decade.

  From the perspective of market potential, 6G applications have broad prospects.

  For personal mobile phones, many people think that the current 4G is enough, but the applications of 5G and 6G go far beyond personal mobile phones.

5G technology has already performed brilliantly in telemedicine, military and other fields, and it is not as "unpractical" as some netizens think.

The application of 6G will be wider than that of 5G.

  The 6G network will be a fully connected world integrating terrestrial wireless and satellite communications, which means higher access rates, lower access delays, faster movement speeds and wider communication coverage.

6G is not only a simple breakthrough in network capacity and transmission rate, but also to narrow the digital divide and achieve the "ultimate goal" of the Internet of Everything. It will also meet the needs of new applications such as holographic communication and the metaverse in the future.

  Why does 6G run so fast?

Because all countries want to run so fast, because our country has the ability to run so fast, and because after running so fast, we can reap a better world!
