Recently, the 25th Institute of the Second Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry of China, Beijing, completed the first real-time wireless transmission and communication experiment of terahertz orbital angular momentum in China, using high-precision spiral phase plate antenna to achieve four different beam modes in the 110GHz frequency band, and completed 100Gbps wireless real-time transmission in the 10GHz transmission bandwidth, which maximized the bandwidth utilization and provided important guarantee and support for the development of China's 6G communication technology. The breakthrough in China's 6G communication technology research and development means that we are taking another step towards a faster, more stable, and more efficient communication field! This is good news for everyone. 

PART01 | The transmission capacity of 6G may be 100 times higher than that of 5G, which is the sixth generation mobile communication standard, also known as the sixth generation mobile communication technology. 6G is a brand new communication technology that further enhances network bandwidth on the basis of 5G communication, making it faster, lower latency, and more connected. Not only can the transmission capacity be increased by 100 times compared to 5G, but network latency can also be reduced from milliseconds to microseconds. For example, downloading a 5G movie takes 60 seconds for 4G, 0.5 seconds for 5G, and 0.005 seconds for 6G. Entering the 6G era, internet speed will not be the focus of attention. Its greatest value lies in the global Internet of Things. Whoever can achieve Internet of Things first will master the core technology of the next generation industrial revolution, thereby influencing and even leading the world. At present, China is accelerating the research and development of 6G technology. Vice Minister of Science and Technology Zhang Guangjun stated at the 2023 Global 6G Technology Conference that China has made significant progress in key technologies such as 6G ultra large scale multi input multi output (MIMO), terahertz communication, synesthesia integration, endogenous AI communication, deterministic network, and satellite ground integration network. Facing the future, the peak rate of 6G communication will reach 1Tbps, and it is necessary to further improve utilization under existing spectrum resources to achieve higher wireless transmission capabilities. 

PART.02 | 6G will achieve seamless integration of the world, physical world, and digital world. 6G is an inevitable evolution direction of 5G, and it is necessary to establish a communication network with human-machine and object intelligence interconnection and efficient interoperability, achieve integrated multi-dimensional data collaborative processing, and improve perception accuracy and perception distance. The driving force of 6G is similar to that of 5G, and one of the main characteristics of 6G is likely to continue to improve performance by more than 10 times through technological means, significantly reducing transmission costs per bit, thereby triggering competitive driving and promoting large-scale deployment of new devices. Industry insiders believe that 6G will support the multi-dimensional perception of people, machines and things, ubiquitous Zhilian, and enable the Digital transformation of the whole society with the ultimate performance of strong connectivity, strong computing, strong intelligence and strong security. The seamless integration of the human world, the physical world and the digital world is an important driving force for the digital, intelligent and green transformation of the future economic society. 

PART03 | 6G may achieve commercial use around 2030. According to the prediction of the Communication Industry Association GSMA, by 2025, the 5G investment of Chinese communication operators will exceed 1 trillion yuan, reaching 184 billion US dollars. Nearly one-third of the business applications will be on 5G networks, accounting for one-third of the global 5G networks. Market, a market research institution

Future predicts that the global 6G market size will exceed $340 billion in 2040, with a compound annual growth rate of 58.1% during this period. The institution believes that China will be one of the world's largest 6G markets and will also become an early adopter of 6G technology. At the end of March, Wang Jiangping, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, revealed at the "Promoting the Digital Economy" sub forum of the Boao Forum for Asia 2023 annual meeting that 6G R&D has entered its sixth year. Minister of Industry and Information Technology Jin Zhuanglong stated that in 2023, policies and measures will be introduced to promote the coordinated development of new information infrastructure construction, accelerate the construction of 5G and gigabit optical networks, initiate the construction of "broadband frontier", and comprehensively promote the research and development of 6G technology in 2023. The State Council has released the "14th Five Year Plan for the Development of the Digital Economy", which specifies the "forward-looking layout of the sixth generation mobile communication (6G) network technology reserves, increased support for 6G technology research and development, and actively participated in promoting 6G international standardization work". The Next Generation Mobile Network (NGMN) Alliance has just released 6G use cases and plans to provide feedback on these 6G use cases to ITU-R

In the IMT 2030 and Future Vision, it specifies the future (6G) connectivity requirements that should be followed by the work of standard setting organizations. Experts generally predict that 6G will be commercially available around 2030, and the next 3-5 years will become a window period for potential key technologies of 6G. With the continuous maturity and commercialization of 6G technology, it will play an increasingly important role in various fields, bringing people more efficient, intelligent, and sustainable communication experiences and services. During these two years, the country has indirectly or directly mentioned the significance of developing 6G technology to encourage the development of related technology enterprises, and major companies and governments have also placed this aspect of development at the top of their list. In addition, we are also considering the increasing demand for 6G technology, and the emergence of any technology or product means that it has greater market demand.
