What is 6G?
6G, the sixth generation of mobile networks, is set to become a key part of the future of wireless communication. The goal is to connect everything, from people and machines to AI driven systems. There is no finished standard for 6G yet, and the technology is in an early stage.
Applications of 6G
- Smarter cities that integrate advanced IoT systems.
- AR and VR reaching new levels thanks to higher speed.
- Autonomous vehicles that become more reliable with near instant data transfer.
Improvements over 5G
Beyond transfer speeds in terabits per second and extremely low latency, 6G is expected to be more energy efficient than 5G, making it more sustainable. 6G will also lay the groundwork for the Internet of Everything, where almost everything is connected. It builds on the Internet of Things.
When will 6G arrive?
Each mobile generation has historically taken about a decade to develop. 6G is expected to start rolling out around 2030 or later. Countries like China, South Korea and Japan are already investing in research, and Sweden's Ericsson is working on the technology, so Sweden is likely to be early.
