The development of 6G advances, and its logo is ready
02/05/2024The development of 6G advances, which already has an identifying logo The telecommunications industry is quickly advancing towards the sixth generation of mobile connectivity, known as 6G, and an excellent example of this is the recent presentation of the new official logo of these next generation of connectivity. The presentation was given by the 3GPP, the organization in charge of developing global standards for mobile technology. The new logo, featuring a modern, cutting-edge design, symbolizes the innovative spirit of 6G and its potential to revolutionize the way we interact with technology. The visual design reflects the unprecedented speed and connectivity expected from this new generation. Which are the new features of 6G? 3GPP is currently working on the technical specifications that will define 6G, and the release of the official logo indicates that the process is progressing as planned. 6G promises incredibly fast data speeds – up to 1Tbps maximum download speed –, extremely low latency and the ability to mix reality with the virtual world, including holographic communications with the help of advanced artificial intelligence. When is 6G expected? Although 6G is still in its early stages of development, the launch of the official logo is a warning that its configuration is advancing, although before this happens, the launch of 5G+ or advanced 5G mobile technology is planned this year. Between 2026 and 2028, the first real tests of 6G standards could be carried out and in 2030, 6G is expected to begin commercialization. The official unveiling of the 6G mobile connectivity logo will take place from May 8 to 10 at an IMT2030 workshop in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
