“#China pushes forward on 6G, while US still working on 5G<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n China is barreling ahead on ultrafast wireless technology<\/a>, quietly hurtling the world\u2019s first 6G test satellite into space while the US is still rolling out 5G at a snail\u2019s pace.<\/p>\n

The satellite, called Star Era-12, has frequency bands so high that they have to be tested in space so the signals won\u2019t be lost as easily as in air, the National Science<\/a> Foundation\u2019s Thyagarajan Nandagopal explained to The Post.<\/p>\n

Exactly how fast the bands are isn\u2019t known, but Nandagopal estimates a range of 100 and 500 Gigahertz, or Ghz \u2014 100 times faster than 5G. To understand that speed, compare 5G and 4G cellphones: A 5G model is 100 times faster than a 4G, depending on the carrier.<\/p>\n

What 6G will touch covers everything from communications to telemedicine to national security, according to Professor Tommaso Melodia, who heads Northeastern University\u2019s Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things. And along with the technology will come a slew of new products and services that will pour billions of dollars into the global economy, just like 5G brought Uber, Instacart and Netflix.<\/p>\n

For example, a 6G iPhone will download<\/a> a high-def movie in 8 seconds and 1,500 high-res photos in less than a minute. A surgeon in New York can use robotic technology to operate on a patient in California. And a robot will search for a wounded soldier left on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

Nandagopal brushed off China\u2019s push, pointing out the NSF \u201cis enabling technologies that will end up defining\u201d 6G in a few years. Melodia, too, doesn\u2019t think the US is late to the tech race, but he does think Americans need to remember how important communications research is.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy honest impression is that we got excited with other things like artificial intelligence and software advances like the Cloud,\u201d Melodia told The Post. \u201cWe took wireless as a given and now realize because of the pandemic that our entire economy depends on communications research. We can\u2019t take it for granted \u2014 China hasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

For NYU global affairs expert Pano Yannakogeorgos, China may not be the winner yet of the 6G game<\/a>, but it clearly is in the PR war. And the launch makes clear the communist titan wants to be the 6G standard bearer \u2014 just like it was for 5G.<\/p>\n

The Chinese government laid out a five-year timeline of 5G strategic objectives \u2014 and researchers made their deadlines. Today, Yannakogeorgos said, China is 5G king, much like the UK was the world\u2019s first commercial telegraph powerhouse in the 19th century.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe or she who controls the network controls the world,\u201d he told The Post.<\/p>\n

\"China's
China\u2019s 6G experimental satellite was blasted off from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre in northern China\u2019s Shanxi Province.<\/span>Chine Nouvelle\/SIPA\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If China keeps the 6G lead, Yannakogeorgos is worried the US and Europe will take the world backward by forming their own standards. For example, in the days of 3G, an American\u2019s device wouldn\u2019t work abroad because of different standards, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be like taking your laptop to Europe and having to buy an adapter.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
