Earlier, China sent the world’s first 6G communications test satellite into orbit from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, in north China’s Shanxi Province on November 7. Media reports said that the 6G satellite was among three Chinese satellites successfully launched into orbit, along with 10 commercial remote sensing satellites developed by Argentinian company Satellogic.
According to CCTV, the 6G technology is still in its infancy and must overcome several technical hurdles in basic research, hardware design, and its environmental impact before the technology becomes commercially available.
6G networks are predicted to become 10 times faster than the fifth-generation networks, as the world continues to battle China’s superfast tech over security fears, according to China Daily.
