What will 6G technology do?

6G networks will be able to use higher frequencies than 5G networks and provide substantially higher capacity and much lower latency . One of the goals of 6G internet will be to support one microsecond-latency communication. This is 1,000 times faster — or 1/1000th the latency — than one millisecond throughput.

Some experts believe that 6G networks could one day allow you to hit max speeds of one terabit per second (Tbps) on an internet device . That’s a thousand times faster than 1 Gbps, the fastest speed available on most home internet networks today. It’s 100 times faster than 10 Gbps, the hypothetical top speed of 5G.

New wireless communication standards are developed about every ten years, and 6G is expected to come into play around 2030 . As it stands, nothing is set in stone in regards to 6G, and even its designation could be replaced by something else.
