China’s 7G Technology: The Next Frontier
Mobile technology has seen rapid evolution, with every generation pushing the envelope of what is possible in terms of technology. While we are in the deployment process for 5G and in the research phase for 6G, already 7G has started being talked about. So what exactly is 7G and what are the chances that it would change our future?
What is 7G?
7G is the eventual heir to the throne of 5G and 6G. It promises much more capacity with ultra-low latency and the ability to use even higher frequencies for communication. Below are a few main features that describe 7G:
Bandwidth and Capacity: With unprecedented bandwidth, 7G is obviously going to move up for the ever-growing demands for wireless and mobile computing. Expect faster speeds, seamless connectivity, and improvement in the overall ability of the services offered.
Low Latency: 7G is characterized by practically zero latency. Think about communications on the scale of the one-millionth part of a second, which is 1,000 times faster than 1 millisecond!
Universal Integration: Edge and core computing will be merged; that is, the 7G standard will converge the artifact of communications and computation on one piece of infrastructure. Devices will communicate and decide independently where the computing occurs, on-mobile devices or other electronic devices.
Applications and Innovations: The 7G networks will revolutionize many spheres of life; for example,
Imaging: Imaging can be great.
Data Analytics: More so with improved data collection and analyses.
Location Awareness: Accurate and location-related services.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Developments in the field of artificial general intelligence.
Quantum Computing: Applications in high-performance computing and quantum computing.
Wrap up
While 7G will still take years and years to materialize, the impact that it could potentially have is overwhelming. With the trend of technology advancements, China is marking the borders. Watch out for more inventions as we move along to the next epoch of connectivity.
