The fifth generation of mobile communications (5G) in the world has just begun to trade, and the next generation of 6G card battles are starting simultaneously. South Korean technology giant Samsung is the first to reveal the 6G white paper. It is estimated that 6G's popular commercial service will be on the road in 2030, and it is preparing for the sprint. Taiwan's IC design leader MediaTek has also invested in 6G research and development in Finland's heavy combat planning on the "battle position" to enter the leading group.
MediaTek has successfully entered the leading ranks in the 5G era, and its recent fundamentals have been excellent. In June, the consolidated revenue was 25.279 billion yuan (NTD, the same below), rewriting the new high in the past 45 months, driving the second quarter performance to exceed the financial test high It reached 67.603 billion yuan, a single-quarter high in the past four years; consolidated revenue in the first half of the year was 128.466 billion yuan, an annual increase of 12.4%.
The industry believes that MediaTek deploys 6G ahead of schedule, and the candle hole candle machine will be the first in the future, adding momentum to the company's long-term development.
MediaTek has invested in 5G research and development for about six years. Its research and development center is in Taiwan and has a research and development center in Finland. It conducts local research and development of the latest wireless communication technologies such as 5G, LTE-A, IMS, 3GPP, and supports European telecommunications customer testing. The partners include Finnish officials, R&D, academic institutions, and well-known communication companies such as Nokia.
Finland is a global wireless communication technology powerhouse. The local government and academic units have launched 6G technology research and development, which is expected to be commercialized in 2030. The MediaTek Finland team has always had a deep cooperative relationship with local units. Taking advantage of geographical advantages, it is expected to become a key point for future research and development of terminal chips.
Samsung revealed its vision for 6G communication system in the 6G white paper. Samsung mentioned that the maximum transmission rate of 6G should be up to 1,000Gps, which is 50 times that of 5G services; the delay time should be less than 100 microseconds, only one tenth of 5G.
Samsung emphasized that although 5G has just started, it is never too early to start preparing for 6G, because the development of the new generation of wireless communication technology, from investing in research to formal commercialization, will take about ten years. Based on the past generations, including the accumulation of 5G wireless communication technology development experience, we can start to invest in 6G technology research and seek cooperation with different partners in the industry and government to lead the development of 6G technology standards.
Samsung pointed out that it took about 15 years from the beginning of planning to the official launch of 3G, 12 years for 4G, and only eight years for 5G. It is estimated that 6G will also take about eight years. It is expected that the International Telecommunication Union Wireless Communications Department (ITU -R) The future vision of 6G will begin to be drawn in 2021. The 6G technical standard is roughly finalized and the earliest commercialization point may fall in 2028, and commercialized universal services may be launched in 2030.
The white paper mentioned that it is estimated that there may be 500 billion connected devices in the world by 2030, which is nearly 59 times the global population of 8.5 billion by then. Mobile devices may have many different appearances by then, such as AR glasses, VR helmets, or holographic projection devices, etc., and more and more devices need to be networked, including cars, robots, drones, smart home application devices, factory equipment, or a sense of wisdom in various infrastructures Tester, etc.
MediaTek deploys 6G ahead of schedule, and the Finnish team becomes the key to future terminal chip R&D
