6G might arrive earlier than expected.

Several countries are transitioning to 5G technology as the technology matures. However, with that proving to be a success, many are wanting to migrate to 6G as quickly as possible. The issue has piqued the interest of technology corporations and even governments.

6G connection contains performance standards such as a peak data throughput of 1 Tbps, latency of less than 100 s, and so on. In comparison to existing networking technologies, 6G can provide 50 times greater peak data speeds and a tenfold reduction in latency.

South Korean governments, for example, are very interested in the future of networking technologies. According to the Presidential Transition Committee:

The present administration is concentrating on non-memory chip, future automobiles and biotech, and healthcare as future economic growth drivers. The new administration intends to build 6G communications, a secondary battery, a display, military and aerospace, an advanced nuclear power plant, and digital content.

Many people want to build 6G prototypes by 2026 so that the technology can be commercialised in the late 2020s. The South Korean government, on the other hand, is keen to develop the technology and wants it done as quickly as feasible.

There is still a lot of research and development work to be done before 6G technology is finalised. However, progress is being made, and the South Korean government’s intentions may become a reality very soon.
