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.

A report by the Yicai Global website said the satellite was one of 13 put into orbit on 6 November.

The 6G satellite, named after the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, was jointly developed by Chengdu Guoxing Aerospace Technology, UESTC, and Beijing MinoSpace Technology.

The 6G technology is expected to be more than 100 times faster than 5G, making it possible to achieve lossless transmission in space making long-distance communications with lesser power usage possible.
Yicai Global quoted Lu Chuan, head of the UESTC’s Institute of Satellite Industry Technology, as saying that the technology would enable wide use of 6G for satellite Internet.

He said the satellite carried an optical remote sensing load system to monitor crop disasters, prevent forest fires, check forestry resources, and monitor water conservancy and mountain floods, besides providing abundant satellite images and data.
