China Gears Up Efforts for 6G Technologies
By Newztodays Team
As China builds the world’s largest 5G network, it is working now on research and development of the 6G technologies for the deep integration of physical and virtual worlds.
China has already formulated the IMT-2030 (6G) Promotion Group. This is a flagship platform in China to promote 6G.
Cui Chunfeng, president of the future research institute of the China Mobile Research Institute said that 6G will integrate with telecommunication, perception, computation, artificial intelligence, big data, and security being next-generation communication technology.
Cui said that the research on 6G is still at a preliminary stage worldwide.
Cui Chunfeng said that they predicted 6G to provide faster speeds, lower latency, and more bandwidth than 5G.
It will help to realize the deep integration of physical and virtual worlds.Huawei is eying investment in 5G Technology in Pakistan
According to official data, the number of 5G mobile subscribers in China had crossed 851 million by the end of February.
These figures account for 48.8 percent of the 1.75 billion total number of mobile subscribers as of the end of February.
The number of the country’s 5G base stations crossed 2.64 million in March this year.
So, with a strong 5G network base, China is now promoting the research and development of 6G.
Experts have revealed the details at the recent 6th Digital China Summit.
Zhao Ce, deputy head of the information and telecommunications development department revealed that China had developed the world’s largest 5G network equipped with the most advanced technologies.
He said that the ministry would accelerate efforts to boost the building of the 5G network for enhanced industrial applications and push forward the R&D of 6G.
As many as 52 out of 97 economic categories are using now the superfast 5G wireless technology.
Its large-scale application has been expanded to mining, ports, and electricity.
Zhang Wang, deputy head of the informatization development bureau of the Cyberspace Administration of China said that 5G technology had served as a critical foundation to support the development of artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing.
He stressed intensifying efforts to explore application scenarios of 5G and empower the transformation of traditional industries.
Cao Ming, president of the wireless product line at Huawei Technologies, said that China was taking the lead in 5G development across the globe.
5G is likely to play a key role in boosting digitalization in a wide range of sectors like vehicles and transportation.
