5G continues to advance and has become a technology now present in practically the entire territory and many operators offer it to their customers. But technology does not stop evolving and advancing and our eyes are already on the future and on everything that new networks that have not yet arrived and it is not known when they will do so will be able to offer us.
Although 5G still has a lot to do and still has a lot to advance, we are already thinking about the next generation of mobile data networks and the advantages it will bring. It is not known when it will arrive but it is expected that tests will begin in 2028 and that it will be ready to start enjoying it from 2030, although there is still a lot to do.
As explained by DE-CIX, the Internet exchange point operator, this new network will be designed according to the advancement of technologies. Improvements in artificial intelligence, quantum computing and improvements that will be designed for virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality and that would allow you to benefit from this new network.
Improvements and changes
Latency will continue to decrease, as 5G has already achieved. According to the aforementioned operator, it is expected that 6G would significantly reduce latency and make it a thousand times faster than the current 5G, achieving a time between stimulus and response of 0.001 milliseconds and achieving transmissions that practically occur in real time that would make that we would forget about latency and that the network would have many interesting applications such as targeted surgery, for example. In addition, it would also offer us greater data fluidity and a better upload and download speed that could reach up to 1,000 gigabytes per second and that would facilitate the exchange of information and data with imperceptible latencies.
But there will also be improvements at the level of global connectivity thanks to the fact that we will be able to connect from any part of the world without worrying about whether we are in rural areas and access to information will be more equitable and equal because mobile coverage will reach globally for everyone both in land as in sea.
