While 5G deployment is still maturing globally, the race for 6G (sixth-generation wireless technology) has already begun. 6G is projected for commercial deployment around 2030. It aims to bridge the physical, digital, and biological worlds, offering terahertz (THz) frequencies, ultra-low latency (microseconds), and "intelligence-on-demand."
In 5G, sensing was a separate function (radar, GPS). In 6G, the radio wave itself becomes the sensor. 6g position
In 5G, remote surgery has a risk of lag. In 6G, the surgeon wears a haptic glove that receives "force feedback" from the robot arm cutting tissue. If the tissue density changes, the glove stiffens instantly. This requires 6G’s (the "seven nines"). While 5G deployment is still maturing globally, the
The current position of 6G is . China currently leads in patent volume and government coordination. However, the US and its allies are countering this by forming a coalition that controls the software stack (Open RAN) and silicon supply chains. In 6G, the radio wave itself becomes the sensor
