MediaTek recently revealed its reports for the second quarter and the first half of 2020. The company has been witnessing increasing shipments of its Dimensity 5G chips but has apparently also been quietly working on 6G networking as well.
According to a new report, the known chipmaker has begun work through a 6G research and development center in Nokia‘s home country Finland. For those unaware, Nokia is a Finnish company that is a known figure in the global communications and networking fields and 6G networking is the next generation of telecommunications, which is being researched by MediaTek through academic sites in Finland.

The Finnish government and local universities have already begun research and plan to commercialize the networking by 2030. Although, it is to be noted that the development for 6G is still very much in its nascent stages and at the moment, there are no defined technical indicators. Hence, the next few years should bring some interesting new developments in the field and possibly reveal some technical capabilities as well.
Previously, Samsung had released a White Paper for 6G networking, where it detailed all the parameters that the newer generation would meet, including speeds up to 1000Gbps, latency less than 0.1ms and overall speed being 50 percent faster than the current 5G technology. However, it is still too early to have an exact idea of what 6G would be capable of, so stay tuned for more updates.
