The term 5G has become ubiquitous in the technology industry and the world as we know it. It has been hailed as the next great technological revolution, promising to transform how we live, work, and communicate. However, even as 5G networks are still being rolled out across the globe today.
The tech industry is already looking towards the next big thing – 6G.
6G is still in its infancy and has yet to define a standard or official definition. However, many experts predict that 6G networks will be available by the decade's end. Early frontrunners in Asia, such as South Korea, Japan, and China, have already started developing in this space.
For example, South Korea plans to roll out its 6G commercial offering by 2028, a mere five years away. In this article, we will explore what 6G is, how it differs from 5G, and what it could mean for the future of technology.
What is 6G?
6G is the sixth generation of wireless networks and is the successor to 5G, which is still being rolled out worldwide. As of January 2023, Statista's data shows the number of cities worldwide in which 5G is currently available. Leading the pack is China, followed closely by the United States, and then a far 3rd placer, the Philippines.
