6G is expected to deliver up to 1000 times faster downlink speeds than 5G, and is expected to generate approximately 290 million connections in the first two years of its rollout. This wireless technology is expected to be officially launched in 2029, and by 2030 approximately 290 million 6G connections will be established worldwide. This data is shared by Juniper Research, a leading research firm in the telecommunications sector. However, the report warns that to ensure this happens, operators will need to overcome a range of technical challenges, including network interference issues arising from the use of high-frequency spectrum.

“The use of this high-frequency spectrum in 6G will be a key technology to achieve throughput speeds 100 times faster than current 5G networks,” the report states. Some early reports claim that 6G can deliver 1 Terabit per millisecond on internet devices, which is about 1000 times the speed that 5G can offer.
Network interference will be a major challenge for carriers to solve. This is because wireless network technology that uses the high-frequency frequencies used in 6G does not yet exist. If 5G mmWave is a challenge, one can only imagine how difficult it will be for carriers to offer their customers 6G.
Juniper Research’s report urges carriers to invest in Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS). The company said RIS can reduce the impact of interference to network services caused by large obstacles such as buildings.

“This is achieved by intentionally reflecting and refracting 6G mobile signals, allowing data packets to navigate around physical obstacles,” the report said.
“Initial 6G coverage will be in the most geographically populated areas to serve as many users as possible,” said study author Alex Webb. “It’s key to delivering services to both consumer and business customers.” The first few years of network operation. ”
