Tech giant racing 6G: Who is leading?

0

It is forecasted that the 6G network will be commercially available in 2027, but many big companies like Samsung, Huawei as well as many major powers do not want to be left behind, actively racing for 6G …

Super smart city model on 6G infrastructure. Although 5G technology has not even been widely available to users, a fierce race for the 6th generation (also known as 6G) mobile network between the leading countries in technology has begun. head. “FORGET 5G”, US WANT TO GO 6G In theory, the 6G network could be 100 times faster than the maximum speed of 5G and is expected to provide many technological applications that have long been seen as science fiction. Such as real-time holograms, flying taxis, and the ability of the human body and brain to be connected to the Internet. Until now, the race to 6G is increasing, especially between the US and China. There are even more concerns: 6G is so important that it has become an arms race to some extent. In this tech race, the United States will likely hamper Huawei’s 6G ambitions just as it has proven it is capable of hurting Chinese tech firms in the past. 6G has clearly been on the minds of policymakers in both Washington and Beijing. Former President Donald Trump shared on Twitter in early 2019 that he wanted 6G “as soon as possible”. The development of 6G could give America the opportunity to regain its lost position in wireless technology. Vikrant Gandhi, Senior Director of Information and Communication Technology Frost & Sullivan said: “ The United States missed the opportunity to lead the 5G wireless technology, and this time they are determined to focus on 6G development. Competition for the 6G lead will be much fiercer than 5G. It is easy to see that Washington started with the “Telecommunications Industry Solutions Alliance” called ATIS and launched the Next G Alliance in October 2020 to “elevate North American leadership in technology. 6G “. The members of the alliance including tech giants like Apple Inc., AT&T Inc., Qualcomm Inc., Google and Samsung Electronics Co., of course, never had Huawei. According to Bloomberg, China also took the lead by launching a satellite in November last year to test the transmission of 6G. In addition, telecommunications equipment maker ZTE Corp has partnered with China Unicom Hong Kong to develop a new generation of technology; Huawei also has a 6G research center in Canada. However, in this tech race, the US may hamper Huawei’s 6G ambitions as the country has shown it is capable of detrimental to Chinese technology firms in the past. KOREA AND CHINA HAVE ADVANTAGES IN A 6G RACING Samsung Electronics and Huawei Technologies are two leading names in the deployment of BTS stations, which are important infrastructure of telecommunications networks. According to the Nikkei, Korea and China will have an advantage in the 6G technology race. Japan and the US will have difficulty if they want to catch up with these two countries on 6G. Currently, Samsung is leading in 5G copyright, holding 8.9% of the number of copyrights. Huawei came in second with 8.3%, Qualcomm with 7.4%, while Japan’s NTT Docomo came in sixth with 5.5%. South Korea is hoping to become the first to offer commercial 6G services, with corporations Samsung and LG setting up research centers and the government considering investing 976 billion won (18,687 billion dong) in development projects. Beijing also announced its 6G network research and development program last November, and Huawei launched a dedicated research team. According to Tetsuya Kawanishi, telecommunications expert from Waseda University (Japan), BTS stations are expected to change both quality and quantity to be compatible with the 6G network. Japan currently has about 600,000 BTS, but to properly meet the 6G infrastructure, 1 billion stations are needed, while the world will need 100 billion stations. Theoretically, a 6G network can reach more than terabits per second, 10 times faster than 5G. But in terms of coverage, the transmission distance of 6G base stations will be only 200 m or less, and using shorter wavelengths, smaller antennas. Therefore, lighting equipment, signs or passenger cars can also add BTS to increase the coverage. According to HIS Market market research company, three companies including Huawei, Ericsson (Sweden) and Nokia (Finland) account for 80% of the BTS market share and many companies are racing to develop smart stations. to lead the race in this segment. SUPER EXPLOSION 6G NETWORK CONNECTION Four main orientations on connection are being studied by countries around the world, including: smart connection, deep connection, heterogeneous connection and connecting everywhere. Most likely, the technologies of the future are considered to be included in the 6G network such as optical wireless communications, quantum communications, unmanned aerial vehicles, low-rise satellites … Moreover, artificial intelligence and big data analytics are also included in the 6G network support to ensure network quality goals. Most likely, the technologies of the future are considered to be included in the 6G network such as optical wireless communications, quantum communications, unmanned aerial vehicles, low-rise satellites … Since then, many super smart applications based on 6G platforms such as: smart home will be widely deployed when smart devices are able to connect and control remotely; Intelligent traffic with control systems, autonomous vehicles, flying taxis; Smart city is built on environmental monitoring systems, optimal energy control systems to improve people’s living standards. Augmented reality technology also requires a 6G network. In addition to the objects being 3D simulated and controlled by artificial intelligence, the user experience will be supported by all 5 senses of hearing, seeing, smell, taste, and touch through sensors. With high bandwidth speed, low latency, 6G network will ensure the quality of user experience. The wireless communication features of the 6G network allow the technology of tomorrow to be the brain and computer interface system (BCI) in everyday life. BCI takes signals from the brain and sends them to digital devices, analyzing and interpreting the signals into device control commands. Moreover, integrated satellite network will allow 6G network to have global mobile coverage; convert and upgrade conventional connections into smart ones; integrated power and information transmission, not only allowing information transmission but also wireless power transmission to charge devices.
