5G and 6G TECHNOLOGY
The first of the G technologies, also known as wireless telephone technology, which takes its name from the word Generation (generation) and is generally renewed, accelerated and opened the door to many technologies compared to the previous one in each new decade, was started to be used as 1G in Japan in 1979, and in 1982, with the development of fully automatic networks, the 1G period, the first of the G technology, officially started. Today, the cell phone internet technology that we have the most control over and that most of us use is based on 4G technology, which entered the market in 2009. With the introduction of 4G into our lives, the streaming speed on our phones has radically increased, bringing quality to many online activities.
4G technology is followed by 4.5G and 5G technology, which was launched in 2018-2019 and introduced to Turkey last July with the launch conducted by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. 5G promises users much faster internet and 60 to 120 times lower latency (ping), and although it is not yet fully settled in our lives, the innovations it will bring to our lives with the relevant studies are very curious.
5G, which means the transition to the next generation wireless internet technology, draws attention with the innovations it brings after 4G. The innovations that come with 5G are as follows:
- 5G technology provides 60 to 120 times lower latency than 4G. This makes virtual reality applications available.
- 5G technology can reach speeds of 10 Gbps to 20 Gbps. However, it is much faster than wired technologies used at home.
- With 5G technology, it is stated that there will be great changes not only in telephony but also in sectors such as entertainment, health, service and automotive.
- With 5G technology, homes, vehicles, cities and many other things can connect with each other.
- Downloading high-capacity movies will take seconds with 5G and the quality of live broadcasts will increase.
- With 5G technology, driverless vehicles will be able to take part in traffic. These vehicles, which can connect with many objects around them, will be able to determine their own route by staying in touch with sensors, traffic lights and other cars in terms of their position.
What are the risks to our lives from 5G technology, which comes with such exciting innovations and advantages? With 5G, new base stations, transmitters, satellites, etc. many more installations are required. Experts predict that this new formation will negatively affect human health. Security measures also need to be further increased with 5G technology.
So what awaits us about 6G, which is expected to be launched in the next 10 years, leaving 5G behind?
Although it is too early to give a definition of what 6G technology, which is expected to replace 5G as the 6th generation wireless internet technology, may be, what can be said is that 6G, or the sixth generation wireless communication system, is the successor to 5G cellular technology. It is envisioned that 6G networks will be able to utilize higher frequencies than 5G networks, enabling higher data rates and a much larger overall capacity of the 6G network. Much lower latency levels will be an absolute necessity.
Wireless companies, academics and researchers describe this technology, which is difficult to define because its boundaries are not yet clear, as follows: "6G will be a fully integrated, internet-based system that allows instant communication between consumers, vehicles, devices and the surrounding environment.
The 6G technology market is expected to enable major advancements in imaging, presence technology and location awareness. Working in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI), 6G computing infrastructure will be able to determine the best place for computing to take place, including decisions about data storage, processing and sharing.
Studies on 6G, which will be the revolution of the next decade, continue at universities around the world.
