6G: It will be able to achieve unrealistic speeds reaching even 1TB / s

The speeds of the next generation 6G networks, could be up to 8.000 times higher of those offered by 5G.

Σas 5G is still taking its first steps. It is not even available in most markets of the world, while its spread seems to be relatively slow. However, researchers are already working on developing next-generation networks, such as 6G.

The first researches and estimates

The Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology recently launched the prefabricated works for the design and development of 6G networks.

Ministry experts believe that the speeds of the next generation of networks could be up to 8.000 times higher of those offered by 5G.

According to team members, 6G can achieve unrealistic speeds by even reaching 1TB / s. At such speeds, it will be possible to download dozens, perhaps 40 to 50, of 4K high-definition movies in about a second.

Dozens of researchers and experts are currently working on next generation networks. However, we are still many years away from their first implementation. As a comparison, it is worth mentioning that the 5G networks, which are used now, have been developing since 2008.

Given that 5G is directly related to IoT products and applications, many believe that 6G will mark one new era with more perspectives on connectivity.

Finally, since we are so far from implementing them 6G networks, we can not know their true potential, the applications they will have, and their potential impact on humans and the environment.
