However, in the 5G era, with its strong infrastructure construction capacity and more core patents, China completely reversed the long-term passive situation and successfully achieved overtaking in corners.
At present, China has the largest 5G network in the world, with the largest number of users. Not only that, China also started the research and development of 6G network technology ahead of schedule, and continued to lead.
China's 6G technology is also expected to lead the world, which is inseparable from the efforts of national scientific research departments and major enterprises in the communication field.
For example, ZTE and Huawei are both contributors to the patents of 5G network technology, participants in the nationwide coverage of 5G networks, and leaders in the research and development of 6G technologies.
However, China and China are not the only countries in the world that started the research and development of 6G technology ahead of schedule. South Korea has also decided to invest heavily in the research of 6G technology in an attempt to become the first country in the world to commercialize the next generation mobile communication technology again.
According to many media reports, in late June this year, South Korean officials planned to invest 220 billion won by 2025 in order to bet on 6G technology, and it is expected that 6G network will be commercialized in 2028.
At the Korean enterprise level, in mid-June, Samsung Electronics and researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara completed the test of the first 6G prototype system and made a public demonstration.
A few days ago, another Korean giant LG also launched an experiment on the 6G network.
August 19, foreign media reported that LG successfully conducted the 6G wireless transmission experiment in terahertz band, and the communication distance of the experiment exceeded 100 meters. This means that 6G communication technology has ushered in a new breakthrough.
Of course, this 6G network test was not independently completed by LG, but jointly conducted by LG Electronics and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the largest applied science research institution in Europe.
Although compared with Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics' popularity inside and outside the industry is relatively low, but the strength of the company should not be underestimated.
The author understands that LG is not only a mobile phone and a screen, but also one of the major wireless communication technology providers in the world. Moreover, as early as 20 19 1, LG started the research and development of 6G communication technology and established a research and development center for 6G related technologies.
Thus, compared with the China communication giants who started the research and development of 6G technology ahead of schedule, the progress of foreign companies such as Samsung Electronics and LG is not slow.
Therefore, relevant scientific research institutions and communication enterprises in China need to make more efforts to grasp the leading edge and initiative in the 6G era.
The reason why countries and enterprises around the world attach so much importance to 6G network technology is that compared with 5G, 6G is a technology that can subvert the existing communication network system.
In addition to the speed far exceeding 5G, 6G can achieve almost "non-inductive" delay. Moreover, based on its own advantages, 6G can completely break the space barrier between heaven and earth and truly realize the full coverage and seamless connection of the communication network.
However, it is precisely because the 6G technology is so powerful that the process from R&D to commercialization to maturity will be quite long.
Only by grasping every key point can we always be in the leading position, but this is difficult for any country or enterprise to do.
