Most of us…. are on 4G. That’s right, check your phone, and we’re usually connected (if we’re not living rural) on 4G. This means a quick connection and higher download speeds than the old 3G connectivity.
But there’s a need for speed!
We’re consuming more and more data! And for that data to be consumed, we’re running out of patience. We need it to be quicker. Faster.
Whilst the UK has embarked on 5G connectivity….
That’s right folks…. the government of South Korea has confirmed plans to carry out a 6G trial in 2026, according to a report by Business Korea. The South Korean government is anticipating the service to be commercially available as soon as 2028 or 2030.
The country is expected to spend approximately $169m over the course of five years to develop this technology.
But Bal… how fast will that be?!
The trial aims to achieve 1Tbps in data transmission speeds, which amounts to roughly five times faster than 5G and latency reduction to one-tenth of current 5G services.
FIVE TIMES FASTER THAN 5G!
To put this into context. 5G is to be 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. In theory, 5G is likely to reach speeds that are 20 times faster than 4G. 4G has a peak speed of 1GB per second; 5G could theoretically achieve speeds of 20GB per second.
Ok… here’s an example of speed;
So…. you can only imagine how quick it’ll be on 6G.
So be ready… get everything connected…. because speed won’t be an issue.
