Where do I even begin with this one? I mean, the evolution of mobile wireless technology has been nothing short of miraculous. Starting with the days of 1G, when we were all just thrilled to be able to make phone calls on our giant brick phones, to the present day where we have super-fast 5G networks that allow us to stream high-definition video on our sleek smartphones. I mean, it’s almost like we’re living in the future or something. It’s hard to believe that it’s only been a few decades since we went from being completely tethered to a corded phone to being able to connect to the internet from virtually anywhere. But hey, at least now we have an excuse for being constantly glued to our screens and ignoring the people around us. And now we are going to move to 6G in near future … But what the heck is 6G going to be like?

5G is already significantly faster than 4G, with data transfer speeds that can reach up to 1 Gbps, while 6G is expected to offer speeds that are up to 100 times faster than 5G. Another game-changer is latency: 5G has latencies that are much lower than 4G, but 6G is expected to have latencies as low as 1 microsecond, which is even lower than 5G. In addition, 6G is expected to have a much larger coverage area and the ability to connect a much larger number of devices than previous generations of wireless technology.

Lets see what else is going to be interesting about 6G ?

1. 6G technology is expected to be powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, which could enable new levels of automation and efficiency.

2. One of the key goals of 6G is to enable the Internet of Things (IoT) on a global scale. This means that virtually any device, from appliances in your home to industrial equipment, could potentially be connected to the internet and controlled remotely.

3. 6G is expected to have a much larger coverage area than previous generations of wireless technology. This could potentially enable the development of new types of network infrastructure, such as satellite and drone-based networks, to provide connectivity in remote or hard-to-reach areas.

4. One of the major challenges facing the development of 6G is finding a suitable frequency range for the technology. The higher the frequency, the faster the data transfer speeds and the lower the coverage area. Finding a balance between these two factors is a major challenge for researchers working on 6G.

5. In addition to improvements in speed and connectivity, 6G is also expected to bring major advances in energy efficiency. This could potentially enable the development of new types of devices and systems that can operate for long periods of time without needing to be recharged.

6. 6G technology is still in the early stages of development and it will likely be several years before it is rolled out to the general public. However, researchers and organizations around the world are already working on the development of this next-generation wireless technology, and it is expected to have a major impact on a wide range of industries in the future.

To conclude, with 6G we’ll finally be able to download our entire Netflix queues in a matter of seconds! Though we will still take those couple of hours to watch it.

And forget about having to go to the doctor’s office for a check-up, with 6G telemedicine we’ll be able to have real-time video consultations from the comfort of our own homes! Though again the prescribed medicine will take 5- to 7 days to take effect.

Plus, with 6G powering the Internet of Things, we’ll finally be able to control our toasters and coffee makers from our phones! Though still, it will take 50 secs for a toast to pop up and 2 minutes for us to eat it.

The speed is going to come — but how fast we can consume it — is still an unanswered question.
