China accelerates 6G network development

China is accelerating the development of 6G industry, as part of its efforts to realize its goal of commercializing 6G, the next-generation wireless technology, by 2030. This year’s government work report for the first time clearly proposes the development of future industries such as 6G, marking that 6G has officially become an important part of the national strategies. 

6G, the sixth generation of mobile communication technology, aims to provide faster internet speed, lower latency, higher reliability, and integrated communications, perception, computing, AI and big data capabilities, to support more application scenarios.

According to a guideline issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and two other authorities on developing the national data infrastructure, efforts will be made to promote the research and development and innovation of 6G network technology and deploy a space-ground integrated network.
