Is 6G Closer Than We Think? What Experts Are Saying
Analytics Insight, Tuesday, September 10th, 2024
While the rest of the world has barely begun to take the first step into embracing what 5G-a newer generation of wireless-can offer, the next generation of wireless, 6G, already looms.
According to experts, 6G may be closer than one can imagine, promising changes to our communication and connectivity that our brains can hardly fathom. Here is what experts are saying about the future of 6G and its possible impact.
The Promise of 6G
Whereas 5G expands the current horizons further with excellent speed, low latency, and highly reliable connections, 6G is expected to do just that-building on it. While 5G currently operates on frequencies up to 71 gigahertz, 6G seeks to operate on the terahertz band above 100 gigahertz. Such a leap in frequency will afford data transfer rates never before imagined and open new vistas of application possibilities, including advanced AR and VR experiences and real-time holographic communications.
