5G is still far from being everywhere that 6G is already on the verge of being deployed in certain countries. Explanations.
In France, 5G is far from being present throughout the territory, worse, 4G itself is still inaccessible in certain regions of our countryside and even elsewhere in Europe. However, this does not prevent Korea, which is always technologically advanced, from already positioning itself to be a pioneering country in the field of 6G. How to revolutionize the mobile internet?
6G for better internet access
Already well ahead of 5G, South Korea also wants to increase its efforts for 6G. Thus the government has presented a plan called K-Network 2030 with the objective of accelerating the launch of the commercial service of the 6G network by two years. Perfect for improving internet access. The agency Yonhap News Agency declares:
Under the K-Network 2030 plan, the South Korean government will advance the launch of commercial 6G network service by two years by securing world-class 6G technologies, innovating the software-based next-generation mobile network, and strengthening the network’s supply chain.
At the same time, the government will also encourage local companies to produce materials, parts and equipment for 6G technology in the country and develop an open RAN, or open radio access network, compatible with any mobile device and enabling operators and mobile phone companies to offer flexible services.
1000 times better than 5G
Note that in order to implement this ambitious plan, a feasibility study for a project is underway. The cost of the latter is estimated at more than 453 million euros. Also according to the Yonhap agency, South Korea’s objective is to hold at least 30% of 6G patents. This could allow it to get ahead of China. To get an idea, wireless connectivity is 1000 times better than 5G. A technology of the future for the mobile Internet.
