China is the first country to launch 6G satellite, is it really 100 times faster than 5G? All pages

KOMPAS.com – When the new 5G technology is hotly discussed by a number of countries. China make an impact.

China became the first country in the world to launch a 6G test satellite.

Reporting from Anadolu Agency (9/11/2020) citing the Global Times, the experimental 6G satellite was launched to verify the terahertz (THz) communication technology in space and is a new breakthrough in space communications.

This technology involves terraherts, high frequency waves to achieve data transmission speeds many times faster than what 5G might be capable of.

While Asiatimes call, speed internet 6G can be 100 times faster than 5G, in addition to enabling lossless transmission in space.

Level of testing

According to China Daily, 6G technology is still in its infancy and has to overcome some technical testing in basic research.

As well as the hardware design, and the environmental impact before the technology became commercially available, according to a white paper published by Finland’s Oulu University.

Additionally, some scientists are concerned that the new 6G infrastructure, increased integration of space-air-land-sea communications technology, and the use of new frequency ranges to transmit data could impact astronomical or public health instruments, or be too expensive or unsafe for researchers to use. .

“The sharing, analysis and management of research data is essential for scientific and technological innovation in the current era of big data,” said Wang Ruidan, deputy director of the National Science and Technology Infrastructure Center, at a Beijing forum on digital scientific research.

Meanwhile, China’s National Astronomical Observatory said on Friday it would open the 500-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, the world’s largest single-plate radio telescope, to global scientists next year for research work, state broadcaster CGTN reported.

Specifications 6G

Quoting from BBCSo far, the telecommunications industry still needs a few more years to agree on the 6G specification so it is not yet certain whether the technology that was tested will eventually succeed.

In addition to the 6G satellite along with the satellite, a satellite used for monitoring plant disasters and preventing forest fires was also launched.

6G satellite was among the three that were successfully launched into orbit along with 10 commercial remote sensing satellites developed by the Argentine company Satellogic.

All of the satellites were launched using a single rocket named Long March 6. The rocket took off from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in North Shanxi Province.

Long March 6 itself is the 351th rocket developed by China.

In September, China launched its third maritime satellite into space and sent the Gaofen 11-02 observation satellite into orbit to assist with mapping efforts for the Belt and Road Initiative.

On Friday (6/11/2020), China’s National Astronomical Observatory said it would open the 500 meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, which is the largest single-dish radio telescope in the world for research purposes.

The observatory will be fully operational in January 2021 after passing a series of technical and performance assessments
