Six Things You Need to Know About 6G
6G will transform connectivity as we know it.
Operating in untapped radio frequencies and incorporating AI to improve speed, its primary focus is
to support the 4th Industrial Revolution by bridging human, machine, and environmental nodes.
Here are the top 6 things you need to know about 6G technology.
1. It’s coming, but not for a while…
6G is still in its infancy and won’t be fully developed until the late 2020s, with industry experts estimating
2030 as the most likely year it will be ready. Public/private investment in this space is huge, and
growing, as the year of launch approaches.
2. Think 5G is fast?
5G offers a max data throughput of 20 GBps and a user experienced data rate of
100 MBps. 6G will crush these speeds with projected data rates of 1 TBps and a
user experienced data rate of 1 GBps.
3. More reliable than you can imagine
6G will optimise network dependability 100x while decreasing error rates 10x, by
taking advantage of previously unused frequencies, to create a more stable network and a better
user experience.
4. Many cyberattacks will become obsolete
Cyber threats such as jamming will be safeguarded against with 6G. That being said, sophisticated
cyber criminals will continue to search for new ways to breach defences.
5. The AI train keeps rolling
6G pioneers are pushing the boundaries of AI, advocating for an AI/ML-driven ideal. Embracing a
'blank slate' strategy, ML algorithms will be entrusted to test, sculpt and perfect the optimal communication
pathways between endpoints.
6. Energy efficiency is a priority
6G networks necessitate higher radio frequencies to accommodate increased bandwidth demands. Prioritising
power optimisation, 6G developers aim to enhance energy efficiency by reducing energy consumption
per bit to a remarkable sub-nanojoule level.
