China in the field of 5G leading continuously and also has a 70% share of the global 5G connection network in 2020. Huawei has achieved world leadership in the 5G field. By the third quarter of 2020, Huawei accounted for 32.8% of the global communications equipment field, ranking first in the world.
As for 6G, Huawei started research very early. According to Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s 6G research is being conducted simultaneously with 5G. This makes Huawei a step ahead in 6G, and Ren Zhengfei can confidently say that Huawei will also lead in 6G.
In June 2020, Huawei, China Unicom and Galaxy Aerospace reached an air-space-ground integration strategic partnership agreement and will work together in the 6G field. In France, Huawei has also built a 6G R&D center.
In addition to Huawei, ZTE, another major communications giant in my country, has also developed 6G. ZTE has made a clear statement that the company’s pre-research team is stepping up to overcome various key 6G prototype technologies.
When answering investors’ questions on December 28, ZTE once again stated that the company has invested in 6G R&D and actively carried out exchanges and cooperation with industry peers.
Under the leadership of Huawei and ZTE, China’s 6G is accelerating its research and development. Today, Ziguang Zhanrui, vivo, Datang Communications and other operators, equipment vendors, terminal vendors, etc. have all released 6G white papers and made some 6G layouts and predictions.
In November 2020, China also leads in launching a 6G communication experimental satellite, realizing the world’s first terahertz wave space research and development. This takes my country’s 6G research forward one step further. According to news from Jiwei, the current leading manufacturers in the industry chain, such as antennas and radio frequency, have also deployed related technologies.
Although the 6G communication standard has not yet been formulated, countries have reached a consensus on the improvements that 6G will bring. And 6G has two distinct characteristics.
6G communication is no longer limited to terrestrial communications. The terrestrial communications network will be connected with communications satellites to achieve global signal coverage by land, sea and air. At that time, there were also unobstructed signals in inaccessible areas such as oceans, deserts, and deep mountains.
Compared with 5G, the speed of 6G will be 50 times that of 5G, and the delay will be greatly reduced.
However, the leap from 5G to 6G still needs to overcome many problems, such as the upgrading of basic issues such as application materials, and the application of 5G millimeter waves. It is reported that 6G will commercialization in 2030.
