Recently, China launched 13 satellites into orbit, including the first test device for 6G communications.
The satellite was launched into space on a light launch vehicle"Changzheng-6". There were also ten Argentine aircraft on board. That is, this was the first time that a Chinese new generation launch vehicle launched foreign satellites into space.
An experimental 6G device was developed inChengdu Guoxing Aerospace Science and Technology company together with the China University of Electronic Science and Technology and Beijing MinoSpace Technology. The satellite will be used to test the performance of 6G technology in space. The sixth generation communications frequency range will be expanded from that used in 5G to terahertz. This will be the first technical test of terahertz communications in space.
6G is expected to deliver speeds up to 100 times faster than 5G.
