WHAT IS 6G TECHNOLOGY, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 6G AND 5G 

6G is the sixth-generation wireless communications technology that will replace 5G/5.5G. Although 6G technology is still in the research and development phase, it is expected to provide unprecedented levels of connectivity, speed, and reliability.  It will succeed 5G and is likely to be much faster, with speeds of up to approximately 95 gigabits per second. Several major companies like Nokia, Samsung, Hawaii, and LG have expressed interest in 6G. South Korea and Japan are also interested. The product is expected to be commercially available by 2030.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 6G AND 5G?

Speed: 5G technology can reach speeds of 10-20 gigabits per second, but 6G technology can be up to 100 times faster, reaching 100 gigabits per second or even 1,000 gigabits per second (1 terabyte per second). This means much faster downloads and smoother streaming.

Zero Latency: 5G technology has successfully reduced data transmission delays to approximately 1 millisecond. 6G technology aims to reduce latency to a near-zero level, making real-time applications such as remote surgery and autonomous vehicles more reliable.

More devices: While 5G supports millions of connected devices, 6G will handle even more, paving the way for fully connected homes, cities, and industries.

WHAT 6G GOING TO OFFER?

Ultra-fast internet: 6G technology will make downloading large files, streaming videos, and even playing games almost instantaneous.

Ultra-Fast, No Lag Communications: Everything you do online will happen without any delay, ideal for things like working remotely or controlling machines in real time.

Smarter networks: Using artificial intelligence, 6G technology will optimize your internet connection and ensure it’s always fast, even in crowded places.

HOW 6G WILL REVOLUTIONIZE OUR WORLD?

Education: Thanks to ultra-fast internet, 6G technology can make education more accessible and inclusive for students around the world by enabling real-time virtual classrooms, interactive learning experiences, and global collaboration.

Healthcare: Doctors can perform remote surgeries without delay, and patients can be monitored in real time, wherever they are.

Smart Cities: Cities can automatically manage traffic, energy, and services, improving efficiency and quality of life.

Entertainment: Virtual and augmented reality will feel more immersive and allow you to experience things in a whole new way.

Improved coverage: 6G technology is also expected to provide improved coverage, allowing users to access the network even in hard-to-reach areas.

Reducing latency: Latency is the delay between when a request is made and when a response is received. 6G technology is expected to significantly reduce latency, which is important for applications such as autonomous vehicles and virtual reality.

Space: 6G technology could revolutionize space exploration by enabling real-time communications between spacecraft, astronauts, and mission control, even from deep space, making remote operations and space tourism more practical.

Sports: 6G technology can enhance the fan experience by delivering live, high-definition coverage from multiple angles or interactive virtual reality experiences that make you feel like you’re at the game no matter where you are.

Airborne: 6G technology could transform communications for aircraft, drones, and other airborne technologies. Real-time connectivity could enhance in-flight entertainment, enable direct communication with ground control, and even enable seamless coordination of drones or air taxis, ensuring safe and efficient operations.

6G technology is expected to be fully compatible with 5G and other current and future wireless technologies, enabling a seamless transition to the next generation of wireless communications. These are just some of the potential features and use cases of 6G technology. As the technology evolves, more applications will emerge that impact nearly every sector and industry.
