Now that several years have passed since the construction of 5G, many people's attention to 5G has begun to gradually weaken, and even some different voices have appeared. Some believe that the network speed of 5G is not as fast as it was initially advertised, and there is actually no significant improvement compared to 4G. Not only that, but the attention to the development of related industries such as the metaverse has gradually begun to wane.
In fact, the main reason why the 5G network rate does not meet the expected value is that the number of 5G base stations is not enough, after all, the radiation range of 5G base stations is narrower than that of 4G base stations, and if there are too many users, it will also cause signal transmission to be affected, thus affecting the network rate.
According to the previous situation, generally when the research and development of the previous generation of communication technology is completed and put into use, the next generation of technology will begin to be developed. This also means that 6G technology is already under development, and after a few years of research and development, many communication companies have begun to master a certain amount of 6G technology.
However, it is worth noting that Huawei, a well-known Chinese company in communication technology, has not only developed very rapidly in 6G technology, but also reported 5News about 5G technology. In fact, the development of semi-generation technology is not without precedent, and there have been 25G technology, many people have heard of "Monternet" is actually 25G technology.
This kind of semi-generation technology is often based on transition, and it is difficult to develop the next generation of technology, it is difficult to complete a breakthrough in a short period of time, and it is difficult to meet the market demand and the needs of some related industries at that time, it is possible to launch a half-generation technology. However, this is basically a transition, and the network construction of some countries may be skipped, which is why Huawei previously announced 5When it comes to 5G technology, the response of the three major operators is not enthusiastic.
So why would Huawei try to develop 5What about 5G technology?Is it because the research and development of 6G technology is more difficult?Let's first learn about 6G technology, 6G is actually the sixth generation of communication technology, to put it bluntly, it is a kind of distinguishing logo, and the name itself does not have much significance.
6G is different from the previous communication technology, it does not simply rely on ground base stations and mobile terminals to form signal transmission links, but through the communication satellites in the universe to cooperate with the ground base stations, and then transmit network signals to mobile terminals such as mobile phones. This basically means that there is an extra link, which is a little longer for the transmission of the signal.
It is precisely for this reason that it is still very difficult to break through 6G technology, after all, in addition to achieving breakthroughs in communication technology and communication satellites, it is also necessary to achieve breakthroughs in basic physics such as materials. However, judging from the current situation, the development of 6G technology in various countries is still relatively rapid.
Recently, a list of the proportion of 6G technology has been released, which has also attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. Judging from this list, Japan, South Korea, and the European Union have similar levels of technological development, and they have all mastered about 13% of 6G patented technologies. The United States has 18% of 6G patents, while China has 35The proportion of 4% of 6G patented technologies has surpassed that of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, becoming the country with the largest number of 6G technology patents.
Judging from this list, China's 6G technology is developing very rapidly and is already "far ahead", but what is more interesting is the comparison between this list and the previous list of 6G patented technology.
Compared with the previous list, the proportion of 6G patented technologies owned by South Korea and the European Union has increased, while the United States has greatly decreased. Judging from the previous news, some industry insiders said: This may be related to the fact that AT&T, the largest telecom operator in the United States, is vigorously promoting Open RAN products and solutions in order to replace Huawei's 5G equipment in China. This is a network construction model, and the most prominent feature is that the equipment and components of different vendors are used to build the network.
This model has not been recognized by the industry at present, and there are many problems that need to be solved in related technologies. Some U.S. experts believe that this may lead to some impact on the development of 6G technology in the United States.
However, there is no clear news to indicate the reason why the number of 6G patents in the United States accounts for the first time, and it may also be related to Qualcomm, the American communications giant, which has suffered successive setbacks in the chip business, resulting in large-scale layoffs worldwide.
It is worth noting that some industry insiders believe that the rapid development of 6G technology in the EU may be related to Huawei. Although the EU has said that it will dismantle Huawei's communication equipment, it has not done anything at all. Not only that, the European Union has previously proposed a "horizon" plan, and has come up with a lot of financial subsidies to develop some advanced technology fields, including 6G technology. At that time, there was news in the market that Huawei received a subsidy of 4.4 million euros from the European Union to develop 6G technology together.
Judging from the current development of 6G technology, China still maintains a leading level, but the United States has roped in Japan, South Korea and the European Union to form a so-called 6G alliance, with 24 well-known communication companies involved, which has shortened the gap in the number of 6G patents between the United States and China to a certain extent.
In terms of communication satellites, the United States has a Starlink program, China also has a GW constellation program, and each has its own strengths in rocket technology and communication satellite technology. It is not difficult to see from this situation that the current competition in 6G is very fierce, but many people in the industry still believe that China will definitely gain another advantage.
In fact, China's leadership in 6G technology is also inextricably linked to China's preemptive layout in the 6G field. Since 2018, China has started to develop 6G, and in 2019, it also established a working group to promote the research and development of 6G technology.
Also in the same year, China Unicom and Telecom joined the research and development of 6G technology, and then a number of domestic communication companies, universities and research institutes invested in the research and development of 6G technology, and achieved breakthroughs in many fields such as terahertz communication and 6G channel.
At present, China plans to achieve 6G standardization in 2025 and achieve large-scale commercial use of 6G around 2030.
From this development process and plan, it is not difficult to see that the research and development of China's 6G technology has not only achieved initial results, but also has formed a considerable scale and development process, which has also greatly promoted the development and progress of China's 6G technology.
