As 6G, the next-generation communication technology, is widely expected to achieve commercialization around 2030, various nations are ramping up research and development efforts, despite the absence of clear technical routes or unified international standards.
The next three to five years will be crucial for seizing the high ground in the field and cultivating an industrial foundation, experts said, as they called for close cooperation with international standards agencies and platforms, embracing openness and win-win partnerships.
Amid the ongoing Global 6G Conference, which is being held online from Tuesday to Thursday, more than 100 communication technology experts from China and abroad are discussing the development and vision of 6G, focusing on possible network architecture, wireless transmission routes and other issues.
The revolutionary technology, expected to be 10-100 times faster than 5G in terms of data transmission speed, will integrate with advanced computing, big data, artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, set to make up for desired applications that fall short of expectations in the 5G era.
Among the nations that are preparing for 6G, China is taking a leading position based on the huge investment and technological reserves of its mobile operators and equipment makers, industry watchers said.
