South Korean has just unveiled its five year project for the development of core technologies for 6G telecommunications technology. This plan will have the government invest 220 billion won (roughly 193 million US Dollars).
According to an AjuDaily report, South Korea is stepping up its efforts for the joint research and cooperation with the United States of America. The nation is aiming on achieving the world’s first commercialization of 6G mobile telecommunications by the year 2028. This investment was announced earlier today (23rd June 2021) at a 6G strategy meeting that was attended by experts, company officials, and government officials as well.
Science and ICT Minister Lim Hye-sook stated in the conference that “As the next-generation mobile network is the foundation of digital innovation, we should play a bold and challenging role together to lead the international market in the 6th generation era based on our experience and know-how in the network field.” The report also added that a 6G network can only be commercialized when a high performance network on the ground and satellite communication are combined.
Furthermore, researchers have also called for the early development of 6G related tech while companies have tied up with research bodies to secure core 6G technologies as well. The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) stated that it is working on the terahertz (THz) frequency band that could potentially provide a way to meet 6G requirements of terabits per second data transfer rate.
