Addressing the nation from the Red Fort in New Delhi on India's 77th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the country is preparing to enter the 6G era soon. The Prime Minister further pointed out that India, in addition to being the world's third-largest economy, offers some of the most affordable mobile data plans and internet services in the world.
Speaking of 6G, Prime Minister Modi said the task force is ready and India is working on a rapid transition from 5G to 6G. “We have established a 6G task force,” he said during his independence speech in Fort Rouge. Prime Minister Modi further pointed out that the country has achieved the fastest nationwide 5G rollout. Recently, Reliance Jio announced that it has successfully introduced 5G mobile service in all 22 regions of India, far ahead of schedule.
Now that just means:
Jio has successfully established the essential framework for nationwide high-speed wireless Internet using various radio frequencies. The company claims to have leveraged a combination of multiple spectrum bands, like multiple data highways, to deliver 5G services to the masses. On July 19, Reliance Jio finalized the required documentation for the Phase 1 Minimum Deployment Requirements with the Department of Telecommunications (“DoT”). And on August 11, 2023, all required DoT tests were completed across all circles, the company revealed. After Jio, Bharti Airtel is trying to deploy its 5G service to all parts of the country.
As India gets ready for 5G, the government is focusing gradually but steadily on introducing 6G and work has already begun. Now the question is:
What exactly is 6G?
6G, as the name suggests, is the next step after 5G, although it's not yet real. It is said that with 6G, the internet will become 100 times faster than 5G which is already super fast. While 5G can reach speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second, 6G can reach incredible speeds of 1 gigabit per second.
In his 77th independence speech, Prime Minister Modi shared some interesting ideas about what 6G can do. He says that with 6G, we can see remote-controlled factories, self-driving, and self-talking cars, and even wearables that can understand our emotions. He also focuses a lot on sustainability. It is said that 6G will support endurance because most of the devices that support 6G will run on batteries. 5G vs. 6G:
What will be the difference?
6G will be much more powerful and faster than 5G. Imagine being able to download a huge amount of data, such as 100 movies, in just one minute. This is the speed we can expect. Plus, 6G will bring us closer to the digital world with things like "digital twins" that look like virtual replicas of the real thing and super cool holograms. Plus, virtual reality is even more immersive, so our online experience is more authentic than ever.
But 6G isn't just about speed. 6G will be unique because it can work both on the ground and in the sky, which 5G cannot. Simply put, a single device, such as your future phone or tablet, can use different technologies to connect, whether you're on land or on the go. fly high in the plane. It will link countless machines and devices together. The arrival of 6G will blur the lines between our physical reality and the digital realm, truly revolutionizing the way we experience and interact with technology.
