Intense competition and frantic race for sixth generation networks

And in light of the race fueled by political situations, it will be the first to develop and patent sixth-generation networks, a real winner in what some call the “next industrial revolution,” according to Bloomberg.

Although it will take around a decade to turn into reality, 6G networks It can be 100 times faster than the maximum network speed 5G, from holograms or “real-time holograms” to flying taxis, to human bodies and internet-connected brains, will provide the kind of technology that has long been a part of science fiction.

Bloomberg reported that China has been successful in recent years in achieving wide global distribution of its fifth-generation networks, due to its competitive pricing, but the United States may find an opportunity to return to competition in the field of Internet communications, through the development of sixth generation networks.

And former US President Donald Trump revealed in a tweet in early 2019 on Twitter that he wanted 6G “as soon as possible.” While, in November, China launched a satellite to test potential sixth-generation transmission waves, and the Chinese company “Huawei” has a research center specializing in 6G networks in Canada, according to Canadian media. .

In the United States in October, the Washington, DC-based communications standards development organization “ATIS” launched a technology alliance “to develop next-generation networks in North America,” cooperation with large companies, including “Apple” and “AT&T” T, Google and Samsung.

In December, the European Union launched a sixth generation network development project, led by “Nokia”, involving “Ericsson”, “Telefónica” and others, in addition to some universities.

The West fears that China will use technological development provided by modern networks to track its citizens, through drones, surveillance cameras, facial recognition technologies, etc.

And Bloomberg has indicated that competition is still within its theoretical framework, and reaching reasonable capabilities for next-generation communications networks can take about a decade and a half.

But the researchers are offering an ambitious vision of what sixth-generation networks could look like, with a whopping 1 terabyte per second speed rate, it’s not only faster, but also promises a transmission time of 0.1 milliseconds. , against 1 millisecond in the fifth generation. networks.
