Today mobile devices have become ubiquitous. So much so that we cannot imagine life without them. Right from controlling our doors and heating to communication, mobile devices have changed the way we view the world. Fundamental to all this is wireless technology.
6G is the latest wireless communication technology which is still in the research and development phase.
Some of the main advantages of 6G or sixth generation wireless technology are:
- They offer higher speeds and less latency than what is presently available.
- They can incorporate AI based controls. This will mean highly efficient network selection, data processing, network management and decision making.
- Connectivity will be seamless and reliable, even in highly crowded environments or even remote areas.
- Global coverage can be achieved with 3D networking possibilities. Thus, ground, ariel and satellite networks can be used effectively.
An extremely important point that sets 6G apart will be the environmental sustainability and positive environmental impact. The hardware is envisioned to be more energy efficient and will thus consume less power. Similarly, renewable energy sources can be integrated to make base stations self-powered. Power consumption can be adjusted dynamically based on the load and other conditions in real time. Spectral efficiency will be achieved by using tetrahertz frequencies and spectrum can be reused. Increased virtualization will help save on cost of materials and also the setup of physical infrastructure.
While many parts of the world are seeing 5G rollout and implementation, it is interesting to see the advantages that 6G will have over 5G. Though 5G and 6G are both wireless communication technologies, the key differences are as follows. This analysis is based on our experience as the best software development company in UK and a leading software development company in USA.
1. Speed
5G networks offer speeds up to 10 Gbps, while 6G is expected to provide speeds up to 100 Gbps. Thus, there is a direct 10 times faster speed advantage.
2. Capacity
Due to increased speed, more devices can be supported.
3. Latency
5G has a latency of around 1 millisecond, while 6G is expected to have a latency of less than 1 millisecond.
4. Wider application net
Due to low latency, mission critical applications can be easily onboarded in 6G. This includes applications like autonomous driving, holographic communication, highly immersive applications like augmented reality and virtual reality. Connectivity will be applicable across a lot of different systems than is available at present with 5G. This will also help to create personalized experiences.
5. Frequency Bands
5G operates in frequency bands up to 100 GHz. 6G, on the other hand, is expected to operate in the terahertz frequency bands (100 GHz to 10 THz). Thus, there will be greater bandwidth available for use.
