China Becomes The First Country to Launch 6g Satellite
China becomes the first country to launch 6G satellite from the Taiyuan Satellite launch center in the Shanxi Province. The satellite was launched into orbit along with 12 other satellites in a rocket. This satellite is also carrying technology which will help crop monitoring and forest fire prevention. This is the 351st indigenous rocket of China.
The 6G satellite was one of three Chinese satellites successfully launched in Orbit. This satellite is among the 10 commercial remote sensing satellites developed by the Argentinean company Satlogic.
This 6G technology will 100 times faster than 5G technology as per the Chinese scientist.
About China first 6G Satellite
It weighs around 70 kg (154 lb) and is named after its co-developer, the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). UESTC, Chengdu Guoxing Aerospace Technology and Beijing Minospace Technology are working together on this project.
The observatory of china first 6G satellite will be fully functional in January 2021 following a “series of technical and operational assessments.”
What is 6G
- 6G (Sixth-generation) is the next-generation wireless technology for cellular data network which will super cede 5G.
- The 6G network will be able to use higher frequencies than the 5G network. This will also provide significantly higher capacity and much lower latency.
- One of the goals of the 6G Internet would be to support a micro-second latency communication, which represents 1,000 times faster than 1,000-millisecond throughput or 1 / 1000th latency.
- 6G networks will be broadband cellular networks in which the coverage area is divided into small geographic areas called cells.
Many Chinese telecom companies including Huawei, ZTE, Xiaomi, and China Telecom have also started their research of 6G.
About Other countries on 6G
- At the same time, the South Korean government has set a strategy for the development of 6G technologies, which will replace the 5G network. South Korea intends to invest $ 170 million in research and development related to 6G technologies for five years from 2021.
- In mid-October, US operators Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile US, and US Cellular aim to promote the development of 6G and establish North America as a global leader in technology, under the guise of the next G alliance.
- Japan’s NTT Docomo began its early actions to develop 6G technology in January, and its goal is to achieve commercial use by 2030.
The future is coming with more speedy connectivity with the network as 6G will emerge in telecommunication technology.
