First 6G Satellite Launched


First 6G satellite launched in space – the next wireless technology seems even more dangerous than 5G



After 5G comes 6G – the sixth generation of mobile Internet technology.

But, right now, it’s still unclear what 6G will be, as the telecom industry hasn’t yet decided on the specifications for the network.


Predictions say 6G will be rolled out in around 2030 to replace 5G. There is even one university already working on it, although the new technology is only a concept – a 6 and a G.

So, what China’s “world’s first 6G” satellite in space really means?

So if 6G is just a theory at this point, it’s a bit of nonsense to call what China have just launched “6G.” However, the satellite they have just launched is still exciting as it could boost data speeds dramatically.

The higher speeds in this case are achieved through the use of terahertz waves – a spectrum of radio frequencies at a much higher frequency range than anything we’ve used so far for communication.

This new wireless technology would require us to modify or replace equipment we use to send data at speeds of up to 1Tps.
