5G Is Child’s Play. Take A Look At What 6G Will Do!

Can You Even Imagine More Gs?
Did you know the first 1G network was used in 1979?
Then, 2G came about in 1991 when Finland brought encrypted digital voice calls with texting and basic email capabilities.
When 3G hit in 2001, it came with four times faster capacities than 2G and what we remember as the beloved Blackberry.
Anyone remember Blackberry?
Then, 2009 gave us 4G technology, while NASA had started researching the use of 5G for nanosats.
By 2012, research had started on 5G technology and in 2019 5G networks were rolled out commercially.
AT&T was the first company to use 5G network in trial runs in 2016 in the name of intel.
In 2019, the FCC voted to open the spectrum range from 95GHz to 3Thz, which has massive data capacity that is not currently being used for commercial devices.
2030 is the soonest 6G will be rolled out, even though a definitive date has yet to be announced.
The hopes would be to build on the capabilities of 5G with increased speed and data capacity.
To give you an idea of the upgrade…
4G technology has an average latency of around 50 milliseconds
With 5G, latency drops to one millisecond.
With 6G, the speed is expected to offer speeds of up to 1,000 times faster than its predecessor.
However, to meet this expectation, the network would need to make use of radio frequencies not already bogged down with consumer devices.
This network will allow for connections to more devices.
The coverage is said to be “extreme” with new boundaries over land, under sea, and even in space.
Under the sea and in space. WHAT?!
