China and the US are already developing standards for 6th generation networks. However, why?

To ensure further growth of smart device deployment! 5G still has limited capacity.

Some sources suggest peak speeds of up to 1 Tbit/s. Average speed of several hundred Mbit/s. The average signal latency is 1 ms, which is useful for applications that require minimal latency, such as autopilots and virtual reality. The number of active devices that can connect to 6G per unit time will also be several times higher than 5G.

«The 6G Era will offer new possibilities for creating brain-computer interfaces», says Dr Mahyar Shirvanimogaddam of Sydney University. An example of such development is the electronic chip for paralyzed and people with CNS disorders, which is created by Elon Musk’s startup.

In this case, the 6G has one great advantage – it is possible to upgrade the existing 5G towers for its implementation, while the 5G had to build new base stations.

It is now believed that 6G may be introduced in the early 2030s.
