China Mobile, the Chinese government-owned telecommunications operator, recently announced the launch of the world’s first 6G satellite, demonstrating China’s progress in the field of emerging communications technology. According to a report by IoT World, two experimental satellites have been deployed into low Earth orbit (LEO). One of these satellites is powered by his 6G architecture, jointly developed by China Mobile and the Microsatellite Innovation Academy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The other satellite uses China Mobile’s 5G technology.
These LEO satellites orbit approximately 310 miles above Earth and are attracting attention because of their low latency and high data transfer rates compared to satellites in higher orbits. This allows for adaptable orbital paths and high-speed internet access in remote areas.
What is the purpose of 6G testing
China Mobile plans to conduct in-orbit experiments with these test satellites and use the results to strengthen space-to-ground technology development.
China aims to commercialize 6G by 2030
China has set a goal of commercializing 6G technology by 2030, as stated in a white paper released by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) last December.
ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin reportedly stressed the importance of mobile communications to meaningfully connect everyone. According to a report by IoT World, he said the agreement by ITU member states on the future direction of 6G is an important step to ensure that technological advances are matched with affordability, security and resilience. and thereby support sustainable development and digital transformation globally.
ITU expects 6G to enable “immersive” communications and provide customers with superior quality video communications capabilities. We also predict that it will enable widespread connectivity in rural and sparsely populated areas, helping to bridge the digital divide.
