6G Technology

6G Technology

Introduction:

Intro 1

6G refers to the sixth generation of cellular network technology, envisioned to be the successor of the current 5G. It's still in the early stages of development, with a target launch sometime in the 2030s.

Intro 2:

6G is the successor of 5G which offers ultra-low latency with speeds upto 1 Terabyte/Second by using higher end of radio spectrum. It has the capability to provide solutions based on AI and machine learning and solving extreme connectivity needs

Difference between 5G and 6G:

6G Advantages:

6G Field of Applications:

Significance of 6G Technology:

1. Better Connectivity: Solve e-Services for urban and rural populations

2. Economic Development: Solve Rural Urban Migration and Mass Urbanization, Improve Ease of Doing Business

3. Technological Advancement: Includes NTNs (Non-Terrestrial Network) – key to advancement to 3D Network Architecture

4. Push for Industry 4.0 and 5.0

5. Sustainability Push: Ultra Efficient Green Technology – Energy Optimisation

6. Security and Safety: Can Create more robust and secure networks – crucial for National Security, Safeguarding Critical Infrastructure and Sensitive Information

Challenges to 6G Technology:

1. Low Investment in R&D: China spent 2.4% and EU 2.3% of GDP, India just 0.7% - 2020 Data

2. Low Transmission: High Frequency Band – easily blocked by obstructions

3. High Carbon Footprint: Need to have balanced
