We asked our panel of industry players if they thought telcos would make a move for a dominant role in edge computing. Most were not entirely convinced.

Electronics company LG has successfully demonstrated the transmission and reception of wireless 6G THz data over 100 metres in an outdoor setting, a breakthrough in 6th generation mobile telecommunication development.

LG Electronics (LG) successfully demonstrated the transmission and reception of wireless 6G terahertz (THz) data over 100 meters in an outdoor setting. This milestone was achieved in collaboration with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Europe’s largest applied research lab, with the data traveling between Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) and the Berlin Institute of Technology in Germany.

6G Communications needs graphene. 6G will initially launch at a few hundred GHz where several diode and transistor technologies are available in the laboratory but things get tough when second-generation 6G operates at around 1THz to get the ultimate response time, data capacity, data transfer and other promised advances.

An ultra-small silicon chip called a multiplexer will manage terahertz waves which are an integral part of 6G, the next generation of communications, and beyond.

In an interview with Prof. Wolfgang Kellerer by TUM staff on the next wireless communications generation, he talks about the future of 6G and what it means for devices - and us all.

Finnish telecommunications equipment vendor Nokia and the University of Technology Sydney, have announced a five-year deal to build and run a state-of-the-art 5G innovation facility.

5G wireless is only just finally rolling out widely around the world, with networks nowhere near complete, but Apple is looking to the future, and wants engineers to work on developing 6G technology.

Phone systems change every ten years, and with 5G now rolling out worldwide, IDTechEx says it is time to plan 6G communications for 2030!

China has launched a 6G experimental satellite to verify the performance of the technology in space as this frequency band will expand from the mmWave frequency to the terahertz frequency.

Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei says Australia risks facing serious issues with the deployment of 5G and future 6G technology unless new policies are introduced to address cyber security concerns.

Despite a lot of 5G hype including 5G over Wi-Fi, some telcos ambitiously claiming 4.5-like services are 5G, and 5G trials, 2018 is not the true year of 5G, according to an analyst.
