6G is the next-generation wireless communication technology with the goal of ultra-high speed, ultra-low latency, and ultra-high connection density, and is expected to be commercially available around 2030. At present, countries all over the world are competing to carry out 6G technology research and development and Proof of concept.
In terms of technical solutions, Qualcomm and other enterprises proposed a digital ultra-edge computing architecture to achieve cloud-edge collaborative management; Airxun has developed an air-ground integrated network to expand its coverage; Qualcomm is also developing scalable AI quantum computing to enhance computing power. These technologies may be integrated into 6G.
In terms of application, 6G is expected to accelerate the popularization of VR/AR and change the way human-computer interaction is conducted; Implement high-definition ultra-low latency surgical transmission in the medical field; Achieve millimeter-level high-precision positioning in autonomous driving scenarios, etc. This requires the 6G network to have a 10 Gigabyte rate, 1-millisecond delay, and other key indicators.
In terms of industrial deployment, countries such as Japan and Finland have launched 6G technology research and development plans; China is also formulating a development path for 6G, striving to occupy a leading position in the process of 6G industrialization. Some companies such as Qualcomm and Huawei are also accelerating their 6G technology layout.
Although the commercial use of 5G has just started, the development of 6G technology is unstoppable. Network equipment manufacturers are expected to take the lead in breaking through 6G key technologies and building experimental networks; The matching terminals and chips are also accelerating development. It is expected that the first batch of 6G standards and frequencies will be determined in 2025; By 2030, 6G is expected to achieve large-scale commercial use, completely changing our way of life.
The 6G era is approaching, which will greatly expand the imagination space and also be an important opportunity period for industrial transformation. Enterprises from various countries should accelerate technological innovation and strategic layout, striving to be in a leading position in the process of 6G industrialization. But it is also necessary to pay attention to network security issues and avoid various risks caused by rapid deployment. Only by making simultaneous efforts in technology, industry, and regulation can the bright future of the 6G economy become reality.
