Chinese scientists and telecom operators are eager to establish a platform for 6G, the next-generation wireless technology that has already emerged as a key battleground for innovation and industrial transformation.
Despite growing geopolitical interference in the global telecom industry, China has a solid foundation in telecom talent and patents, and its advantage in 5G will help the country gain an edge in the 6G R&D race, experts and company executives said.
The comments come as the world enters a critical window of opportunity to define technologies and formulate key standards for 6G. While there is still no universally accepted definition of the technology, 6G in China is expected to have much lower latency, higher speeds and greater capacity than 5G.
More importantly, the technology will be able to support the integration of space, air, land and sea communications technologies, which will give rise to a wide range of innovative applications, they add.
China aims to commercialize the technology by around 2030. “ We will namibia email address launch a series of research projects aimed at developing 6G and strive for breakthroughs in key technologies ,” said Jin Zhuanglong, minister of industry and information technology.

In July, a group of Chinese telecommunications engineers announced the creation of the world's first test network combining communications and intelligence capabilities.
The experimental network has achieved significant improvements in key communication indicators, including capacity, coverage and efficiency, according to Zhang Ping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.
