Now that 5G has not really made us feel, Huawei has started to grab 6G again. Recently, Ren, the founder of Huawei, revealed a message. At present, Huawei's 6G research and development is also the world's leading. At the same time, Huawei also said that 6G will not be put into use until ten years later. Earlier, some media reported that Huawei had started the research and development of 6G in Ottawa, Canada. At the same time, it has recently been reported that Huawei intends to sell 5G patents abroad, which has attracted the attention of many netizens, because everyone knows that selling patents is very profitable, and many enterprises are reluctant to sell their own patents, because owning patents means a steady stream of money income. Just like Nokia, this is a technology company that can make big money by relying on patents.
So why dare to sell 5G? It turns out that Huawei once again leads in 6G, which is Huawei's confidence in selling 5G patents. In fact, from 20 16, Huawei started the research and development of the 6G project. At that time, Huawei invested 600 million US dollars to start the research of 6G standard. Recently, Huawei invested1400 million US dollars, which means that Huawei invested 2 billion US dollars in the 6G field, far ahead. Now even the American 5G is behind, let alone 6G.
So what is 6G? What effect will it have on us? Now we stand on the edge of the 5G era, and soon we will also enter the 5G era. The 5G era has entered the millimeter wave band from the original frequency band less than 6GHz, and 6G will officially enter the terahertz era. The frequency band of 6G signal will be 0. 1THz-3THz. We know that the higher the frequency band, the greater the bandwidth allowed to be allocated, and the greater the amount of data that can be transmitted per unit time, which is simply faster.
But in addition to being fast, it also brings great disadvantages. Just like the current 5G, the speed has increased, but the coverage of 5G base stations is much smaller than that of 4G base stations, which means that more 5G base stations need to be deployed to achieve the same coverage as the current 4G base stations. In the 6G era, there will be more 6G base stations, and maybe every household will have one. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but the density of 6G base stations will be much larger than it is now. At the same time, the power consumption of 6G devices will be a big problem. I believe everyone has heard that the power consumption of 5G base stations is several times that of 4G, not to mention 6G.
