The studies in the mobile communication technology is advancing rapidly. Although a large part of the world has not yet widely adopted 5G, researchers are making significant progress in the area of 6G. The latest breakthrough comes from China, known for its record-breaking technology investments. An institution called “No. 25” recently announced an important milestone in 6G communication technology. They achieved a 100Gbps wireless transmission that delivers an experience almost on par with fiber connectivity. Here are the details…

Advancing Deep Space Exploration with China’s 6G Wireless Transmission Breakthrough

No. 25 Institute recently announced a significant milestone in 6G communication technology. The team completed the first-ever real-time wireless transmission of data at the terahertz frequency level. This breakthrough could pave the way for faster and more efficient 6G networks in the future.

As the demand for faster communication speeds grows, higher frequency bands are required. Terahertz communication is a cutting-edge technology that can provide the bandwidth needed for higher speed transmissions, making it an essential component of 6G networks. Traditional fiber-based networks face challenges like high costs, long deployment times, and lack of flexibility. Wireless technology is expected to become more dominant in the future, with over 62% of global base stations projected to use it by 2023.

The No. 25 Institute’s achievement in terahertz communication involved the use of advanced antennas and multiple beam modes to maximize bandwidth utilization. This work has led to a doubling of spectrum utilization since 2021. This breakthrough could have various applications, including short-range broadband transmissions and high-speed data transfer between space exploration vehicles. It has the potential to significantly contribute to deep-space exploration and the development of new spacecraft.

China is planning to roll out early-stage 6G technology in the mainland. The technical research and launch for 6G technology will be conducted by China Unicom, the third-largest wireless network operator in the country. The company expects to launch introductory early applications by 2025 and plans to roll out complete 6G mobile technology by 2030. 

China Unicom Chairman and Chief Executive Liu Liehong said that the early 6G application scenarios will be introduced by 2025 in China, which is home to the world’s largest internet user population and biggest smartphone market. This announcement from China Unicom comes right after last week’s Global 6G Conference wherein experts came to a consensus that the 6G technology will be rolled out in China by 2030. 

China’s contribution to the global telecommunications industry is crucial and influential, thanks to its extensive range of application scenarios and the largest user base in the world. Numerous global enterprises are actively engaged in the Chinese market, recognizing its significance in promoting telecom development.

Chinese telecommunications companies are at the forefront of various sectors within the industry, including 5G, 6G, and fixed-line telecommunications. They are collaborating with international institutions to establish industry standards, which helps to mitigate future uncertainties. For instance, China Mobile has published 31 white papers and 60 high-quality papers on 6G, ranking first among global telecom operators. Also China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom, the three major telecom network operators in China, have already begun researching and developing 6G technology for the country.

China has the largest market in crucial fields of the telecom industry, from internet construction to key equipment, with leading companies like Huawei and ZTE. However, the country is facing major challenges in the field of technology due to the pandemic and the ongoing US-China tech war. 

But if we look at China’s past history, the country has achieved tremendous technological advancements, especially in the field of telecommunications. China has successfully constructed the world’s largest 5G mobile network and there are more than 2.31 million 5G base stations installed throughout the country. And with government support, Chinese telecom companies are likely to repeat the feat with 6G technology.

5G is just getting fired up in many countries but a report already talks about a big change that 6G will bring to the table. Countries like China have already started pushing for it ahead of others. The next-gen communication tech is expected to open a gateway of terabit throughputs, microsecond latencies, and solve hiccups like transporting holographic images wirelessly.

According to the counterpoint report, 6G will primarily up the ante on the Wireless Spectrum from Gigabit throughputs on 5G to Terabits/second on 6G. Here, Throughput is amount of data that can be transferred from source to destination within a given timeframe. Anyway, the proposed range for the 6G spectrum is between 300GHz to 3THz(TeraHertz).

Although the commercial launch is not happening anytime before 2028 as Samsung predicts, the research has already begun. In fact, giants like Huawei and Nokia are already advancing in their own way to accelerate the process. Either way, the leap from GHz(in 4G) to MHz(in 5G) and THz(in 6G) indeed looks exponential.

As for 6G devices, report says that it will require better power efficiencies, Line of Sight (LoS) channels, metamaterials for THz antenna arrays, improved AI for power optimization, and QoS(Quality of Service). Additionally, the Terahertz spectrum will pave way for holographic radio and ultra-massive MIMO technologies.

With Speeds getting increased this much(Terabits), the range of applications also gets widened. You can look at some key applications that will benefit from 6G(>1Tbps) below:

• 8K/16K Video streaming
• Transport Holographic Images/Video(HoloPortation) Wirelessly
• Microsecond latencies will enable Real-time Machine Control. Eg. Agricultural Robots
• Digital Twins/Replicas- Interaction between Digital and Physical world via Mixed Reality and AI
• Multi-Modal, Multi-Location 16K AR/VR applications
• 3D 4K Maps ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)

As we all know, a network technology requires equipment, and hence, we should watch out for biggies like Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia, Huawei, ZTE, InterDigital, University of Oulu, SK Telecom, China Mobile, Docomo, AT&T in Network.

However, companies like Samsung, Qualcomm, LG, Apple, OPPO, Huawei, META, and others handle the device and components at a larger scale. Among this, Apple and Alphabet’s Google have already joined the “next G alliance”.

As mentioned above, China has gone a step further and launched the world’s first 6G satellite for terahertz communication. Nevertheless, We are still a few years away from seeing the real-time results of 6G which is expected to be 100-500x faster than 5G.
