South Korea aims to launch 6G in 2026, the network will be fifty times faster than 5G
The Government of the Asian
state will invest 143 million euros from 2021 to work on its development.
5G has not yet achieved
democratization in much of the world; however, there are already those who
are working to make it obsolete. South Korea, one of the great global
technological powers, is doing its best to launch a pilot of the connection of
the future, known as 6G, in 2026. Also, if the deadlines are met, it hopes
to be able to start commercializing it between 2028 and 2030, this is stated by
the newspaper "Business Korea", which also indicates that this
network will be 50 times faster than 5G.
According to this media,
the Prime Minister of the Asian state, Chung Se-kyun, and the rest of the
government have designed a strategy that seeks to promote future mobile
telecommunications. At a meeting held on August 6, they agreed to
preventively develop next-generation technologies. To work on developing
6G, South Korea has scheduled an investment of 143 million euros (200
billion won, the country's official currency) starting next year.
The Asian medium points out
that, once the pilot is developed - presumably in 2026 - the new network is
expected to be applied in five key areas. Specifically, in digital
health care, the development of immersive content -such as holograms for
meetings-, the creation of autonomous cars, the development of smart cities and
their application in factories.
Let's remember that South
Korea is not the only country that is working on the development of 6G. At
the end of last year, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China
already announced the establishment of a task force focused on researching and
developing sixth-generation networks.
