China Mobile recently cut a New goal in the field of telecommunications managing to download a 50 gigabyte file in just 1.4 seconds thanks to his Experimental network 6g. The result, announced during a recent conference of the Chinese telecommunications giant, is equivalent to A data transfer speed of 280 Gbpsa threshold that contributes to redefining the reference parameters for the connectivity of the future.
To understand the scope of this result, just think that with the China Mobile test it would be possible to download a film in 4K Blu-Ray quality of two hours less than two seconds. The speed reached is in fact Fourteen times higher than the theoretical maximum of the current 5Gthus making the more advanced wired connections apparently slow to its comparison: a technological leap that opens unpublished scenarios for streaming, gaming and instantaneous data transfers, as well as – in general – all the ways we interact with digital content.
New investments for the future of wireless communications
However, the news from China Mobile do not seem to be finished here. The company is in fact investing important resources to shape the future of wireless communications And, in confirmation of this, it has allocated over $ 5.4 billion to research and development, taking on leadership in four important national scientific and technological projects. Investments that are aimed at the development of those that the company considers The ten most essential 6G technologieslaying the foundations for a radical transformation of the sector.
Well, precisely to support this new phase of technological innovation, China Mobile has created the first 6g experimental network on a small staircase in the world, consisting of ten dedicated sites. However, the company’s approach is not limited to earthly networks only: Last year he launched a satellite designed to transmit data to very high speed From a low terrestrial orbit, thus giving life to an integrated strategy that combines terrestrial and satellite technologies, and which aims to guarantee a high -speed connectivity and low latency on a global scale.
The goal is to market technology by 2030
Despite these truly impressive progress, it is good not to get in a hurry: The marketing of 6G technology is not expected before 2030although some more optimistic forecasts suggest a possible debut by 2028. However, the results obtained by China Mobile offer a concrete preview of what awaits us in the next decade, and the moves of other operators also suggest that the competition for market control 6G has already officially started.
