According to the data of national authorities, up to now, China has built a total of 8 1.9 million 5G base stations, accounting for about 70% of the world; The 5G network has been fully covered in prefecture-level cities across the country, and the number of 5G mobile phone terminal users is 3 1 100 million, accounting for more than 80% of the global total. In other words, now 5G has been deeply applied to all aspects.
The Blue Book of China Internet Development Report 2020 points out that since 2020, China has occupied 1/3 of the global 5G network technology, and 5G technology is in a leading position in the world, even the United States and Japan have to "admit defeat". In terms of 5G patents, Huawei ranks first and ZTE ranks third, with global market share of 32.6% and 1 1% respectively, showing a strong overall development momentum.
However, with the development of 5G technology in China getting better and better today, many countries have begun to study 6G technology, especially the United States and Japan, which are known as technological powers, once spent a lot of money and began to "attack" the category of 6G.
Undoubtedly, in the global competition of 5G technology, the United States was once "backward", but in 6G technology, the United States said that it had completed "overtaking in the curve" in the satellite Internet industry, and once occupied resources such as satellite positioning, frequency and orbiting satellites. Not only that, the United States also took the lead in forming the "6G Alliance". By the end of 2020, 1 16 10, 2 1 world-renowned giant companies such as Intel, Qualcomm and Samsung had entered the market.
Not only that, in addition to the United States, Japan has also begun to "force" on 6G technology. According to Xinhua News Agency, Japan will divide the 6G category into two schemes. One plan is to invest 30 billion yen to develop 6G communication technology, and the other plan is to invest 20 billion yen to test the platform of 6G technology, with a cumulative investment of 50 billion yen before and after.
In addition, the United States and South Korea also "* * * join hands". According to South Korean media reports on May 25th, the United States and South Korea issued a joint statement announcing that the two countries would stop cooperation in the field of 6G communication technology. It is reported that the United States and South Korea will jointly contribute 3.5 billion US dollars, or about 22.465438 billion yuan.
At present, the most important space resource about 6G technology has been "preempted" by the United States. If China lags behind other countries in the 6G category, it may suffer in various scientific and technological industries in the future, but will China "lose"?
On April 12, Huawei held the conference of Global Analytical Normal University. Huawei estimated that 6G technology will be fully introduced to the market around 2030. It is worth noting that although the United States, Japan and South Korea have "started", China has applied for 13000 communication technologies in 6G, accounting for 35%. The United States, Japan and South Korea have 6,926 patents, 4,756 patents and 3,796 patents respectively. On the whole, China ranks first.
Moreover, China has been developing 6G technology for a long time. In June 2020, the world's first 6G experimental satellite "University of Electronic Science and Technology of China" was successfully launched. The successful launch of this experimental satellite represents a breakthrough for China to explore terahertz space communication technology in the space field. Moreover, the chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that at present, the industrial economy is developing well, and the state will continue to promote the high-quality development of the information and communication industry, accelerate the planning of 6G technology, and promote the construction of 5G networks in an orderly manner.
However, some people may be confused. Since the 5G network is still developing, why should we conquer 6G in such a hurry? In fact, at the 20021Expo on May 25th, Li Deren, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that strictly speaking, the application scope of 5G is "limited", and its coverage only reaches 6% of the world, while the terahertz frequency band used by 6G can be used for space communication, including "land, sea and air", so 6G plays a "lightweight" role in the competition among countries.
In order to complete the breakthrough of 6G technology, it must be built on a solid foundation of 5G. Fortunately, China has great advantages in the field of 5G. It is difficult for other countries to catch up with China in a short time.
During 20021-2025, China once took "planning 6G in advance" as its main communication purpose, and among many domestic enterprises, Huawei took the lead. It is reported that Huawei has cooperated with several well-known top universities in China, and jointly launched satellites with China Aerospace and China Mobile in the second half of 20021year to plan a 6G satellite Internet. Operators, Tsinghua University and China Mobile have established research institutes, which will promote the scientific research collaboration of 6G. With the launch of 5G, I believe that the launch of 6G will not be desperate, and it will still rank first in the world. what do you think?
