In this era of rapid development, science and technology are the lifeblood of the economy. Whoever masters high and new technologies first will be at the forefront of the world. The first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution and the current information revolution all prove this. Therefore, the world's major powers are working hard to seize the commanding heights of technology
On June 6, 2019, China officially entered the first year of 5G business. 5G is still being deployed, but countries around the world have begun competing for 6G patents. The speed of development of science and technology is really amazing. No wonder people's lives are so fast-paced now. But the United States will definitely not let China go too smoothly. What is 6G? Can China create brilliance after 5g?
1. What is 6G?
From 1g to 5g is a continuous replacement process. Each replacement cycle is about 10 years, which means that by 2030, the world will enter the 6G era. Now 5g has come out, but it has not yet been used on a large scale. However, the early deployment of 6G has become common knowledge around the world
The transmission capacity of 6G is 100 times faster than that of 5g, reaching 1TB per second. Network latency is expected to be reduced from milliseconds to microseconds, so to speak, there will be no more delays. And it is no longer just a high-speed network, but a combination of wireless and satellite communications.
The goal of 6G is to realize the interconnection of everything and make the network available to the whole world. Even in very remote areas, network signals can be received. Therefore, telemedicine and distance education can be realized in remote villages. In addition, connections between satellite and terrestrial networks can predict weather. It can be said that this is an Internet of Things revolution
Everyone knows that the use of 5g requires the establishment of base stations, but 6G is connected to satellites, gets rid of the constraints of base stations, and can cover the world more widely . This is where 6G is most powerful.
The development of 6G technology is always inseparable from satellites, so 6G requires not only network technology, but also aerospace technology. The United States' aerospace technology ranks first in the world. Compared with the United States, China's advantages are not obvious. 6G research and development is imminent, and where will Huawei, the leading company in 5g technology, go?
2. Huawei transfers 5g technology
China’s technological development lags far behind Western countries and has missed many steps, but after years of hard work, it finally Keep up with the world. Huawei has always been a leader in China's mobile communications field, and the development of 5g has made Huawei a world leader. Huawei holds multiple patents in this technology and is a world leader. However, in order to seize the future, Huawei decided to transfer 5g technology.
Currently, China’s share of 6G patent applications has reached 40.3, ranking first in the world. The United States at 35.2 is slightly lower than China, Japan at 9.9, Europe at 8.9 and South Korea at 4.2. Not only the United States, but Japan also has its own small 99. They are unwilling to occupy such a small market share, so they have been actively cooperating with European and American countries. Of course, no matter how ambitious Japan is, it does not dare to compete for the first place, otherwise it will be "cleaned" by the United States just to get a piece of the pie.
In the development process from 1g to 5g, Japan was at the forefront of the world at the beginning, but it could not keep up. It invests a lot in this area but always loses money. So this time, it learned to be smart, gave up the competition of international standards, and stood on the lap of the United States. In addition, in November 2020, the United States formed an alliance with more than 60 leading technology companies in Europe and the United States to jointly discuss 6G technology, excluding China. In April 2021, the United States announced that it would cooperate with Japan to study 6G technology and planned to form an alliance with South Korea.
In short, it will engage in small groups to isolate China and hope to regain the right to set Internet standards. For the United States, it may be a shame for 5G to be snatched away by China
China’s 6G share was originally the world’s largest , but after the United States and Japan joined forces, the market share exceeded that of China, and the battle for it has entered a fierce stage. In China, technology companies such as Huawei, ZTE, and Vivo have formed alliances, and some science and technology universities have also joined the ranks of 6G technology research. The National Ministry of Science and Technology has also given strong support.
It has not been many years since the dust of international standards has settled. In addition, the United States has many allies. It can be seen from the proportional data that China faces huge challenges, because the countries at the top are supported by the United States.
3. In short, China has always been relatively lonely on the road of science and technology.
After the founding of New China, many high-tech technologies were gradually explored by many outstanding patriotic scientists. It is the hard work of our predecessors that has put China at the forefront of the world. China could do it before, and I believe China can find its own way through containment now.
The original intention of scientists was to benefit all mankind, but now they have become a tool for competition. They have obviously lost their original intention, which is also sad. What do you think about this? Everyone is welcome to discuss in the comment area.
