Why should the United States skip the 5G network and directly transition to the 6G network?

A very coincidental evolution law in the field of communication technology. Odd generation communication technology is a revolutionary innovation, and even generation communication technology is an innovative business derived from odd generation technology, which realizes the optimization and perfection of a kind of ability. 3G has created a brand-new application scenario, and mobile phones can be used to surf the Internet. In the 4G era, the network speed has greatly increased, and online consumption and entertainment has become a fashion. Entering the 5G era, its goal is to meet the communication needs in the scenario of large connection, high bandwidth and low delay. The 6G network will be a 5G plus satellite network, that is, the satellite network will be integrated on the basis of 5G to achieve real global coverage.

However, on the other side of the ocean, the American commercial space company Space Exploration Technology Company launched 60 "Starlink" Internet satellites into orbit for the first time. Space Exploration Technology Company will build 65,438+200,000 LEO satellite constellations, and then build a global satellite broadband network, which is also the first substantial attempt of 6G network. If space exploration technology company can really achieve the goal of launching 12000 satellites into the sky, it will be a more leap-forward upgrade for the global wireless network. The 6G network will be directly transformed from ground equipment to space facilities, and satellites will provide fast and stable data services for the network.

Although the recognition of the idea that the United States should bypass the 5G network and directly develop the 6G network is not very uniform, some analysts believe that the so-called preparation of the United States to bypass the 5G network and develop the 6G network is only an extended guess. However, the United States will never relax in the development of communication technology. From recent months, the United States has made efforts to suppress Huawei 5G, and everyone should be able to see some clues.

The reason why the United States attaches so much importance to 5G technology is not simply because 5G technology can improve the speed of mobile internet access and network download, but because the communication technology represented by 5G technology has already involved the scientific and technological status of the United States in the world. As for 5G technology, I believe that the United States may not catch up with Huawei in China in two or three years. Facing Huawei, whose 5G technology lags behind China, American officials have publicly stated at the White House press conference that "the United States must win this battle".
