The television channel quoted the press office of the Chinese State Council as saying: "The technical tests for the first stage of research and development of the sixth generation (6G) have been completed, and a reserve of more than 300 key technologies has been formed. The second stage of testing of the sixth generation (6G) technology has recently begun ."
The channel added that the number of 5G network users in China has now exceeded 1.2 billion people.
China has completed the first phase of its four-year 6G technology testing program, which aimed to identify key technological trends for the future network. During this testing period, more than 300 technological breakthroughs were achieved in key development areas.
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology affirms that the next generation of technology will be a key component of global digital infrastructure over the next decade. This has been incorporated into the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan, guaranteeing government support and priority funding. For companies collaborating with China, this is a clear indication that the technological gap between China and the rest of the world continues to widen.
While most countries are still rolling out 5G networks, China is actively developing the next generation of communications. Four years of continuous testing, over 300 technological breakthroughs, and the involvement of leading scientific institutions and companies—this is a scale that only a few countries in the world can match.
The next phases will include testing technical solutions, developing prototypes , manufacturing equipment, and testing network technologies . This means that by the end of this decade, China could have operational 6G pilot zones, while other countries will have completed 5G coverage.
What is 6G and why do we need it? 6G promises data transfer speeds tens of times faster than 5G, latency on the microsecond level, and the ability to power billions of devices simultaneously. This isn't just about faster internet on smartphones; it will form the basis for technologies that currently exist only in concept.
Among the technologies that require 6G
Self-driving transportation managed by artificial intelligence in real time,
Industrial robots that interact with each other without delay,
Augmented reality that is indistinguishable from the physical world.
Remote surgery with haptic feedback,
Smart cities where data is exchanged instantly between every sensor, traffic light, car, b
uilding and other areas.
