6G || Explained

In this era of mobile phones, when you see a picture of a 6g phone, you can immediately assume that the latest technology has been introduced to us — 6g. But what is 6g? And how fast will it become soon? Let’s go through all these questions.

What Is 6G?

All we know about 6g is a very advanced version of 5g. The main difference between 5g and 6g is the speed. While 5g networks can support data speeds up to 2 Tbps (200 Mbps), 6g is capable of supporting data networks at 300 Tbps (2 Tbps). Therefore, if we want to send data packets between two users or devices, for instance, you don’t need as much 5g cable as you do 6g. Nowadays, 6g is only used for those high-end applications, which require extremely good network connections such as gaming, torrenting, and video streaming. If you want to understand more about 6g, take a look at our article on ‘What Is 5g Vs 6g and see the difference in terms of speed and features. For now, let’s talk about 5g and 6g.

What Are These Different Types Of G-Networks?

Here are some differences between the 5g and the 6g networks. Unlike 5g, which uses 10BaseT ports, there is no 10BaseT port on 6g. This means data travels faster through 6g than through 5g, thus making 6g an ideal solution for most people out there. Here are some other differences:

6g makes use of the same frequency band as 5g but switches to the adjacent frequency band for transmission. So for example, if you have A 100Mbps signal sent over a 1000Mbps channel, with 6g, you will get a 100Mbps signal sent over a 500Mbps channel. Whereas in 5g, only one Signal Band will be used and for whatever length of time, the user is required to switch back to the previous channel again. You can see why this might increase your wait time by 200% for each cycle. And there is another thing that comes along with increasing the bandwidth of the transceiver — 6g is able to support higher frequencies than 5g, so you will end up receiving the same range of frequencies in both channels. On top of this, 6g will also support higher bitrates than 5g, therefore allowing you to do much more bitrate transfers before having to switch to another form of connectivity. To fully benefit from this increase in capacity, you will need to use lower power cables for transferring data from your device to some other device (such as a tablet). Also, unlike 5g, where the wireless signal is only available inside the cell, 6g supports signals outside, thus making them perfect for external communication.

What Does 6g Include In Its Technology Stack?

On top of everything else, 6g features a very large amount of computing cores and hardware in its technology stack. There is a total number of 8x86 CPUs, 16 threads of RAM, 64 GB of NAND flash memory, and 16 GB of eMMC. So if we compare this to the 5g chipsets, then there is way more processing power in 6g compared to 5g. We see this because 7x86 allows for 8x86 CPU cores and 32 threads, while 4x16 allows for 32 threads, 16 GB of NAND memory, and 16 GB of eMMC. When paired together, 7x86 has 1GHz and 4x16 has 400MHz, allowing every chip to perform even better when combined with 6g. Because 8x86 is more efficient than 12x16, we end up getting more cores, and therefore more clock cycles, which translates into better performance and lower energy consumption.

What Features Do We Need With 6g?

If we talk about common feature requirements from 5g to 6g, the first thing that is required is low latency. Low latency means that the transmission rate is low so the delay between sending a request and getting the response is high. For instance, 5g is capable of transmitting data at 20ms, whereas 6g is capable of transmitting data at 60mms. The second requirement is a low Latency Mode, which means that the response to requests for data will not take too long to arrive. Lastly, 6g is capable of providing a low packet loss. To make sure all of this occurs, 6g has a built-in protocol called Dynamic Wavelength Division Multiplexing, which means that we only get one radio signal instead of multiple signals going through the whole network at once. By doing this, you can reduce the overall duration between sending a request and receiving something back. For instance, if you send and receive data packets quickly, and 6g is only capable of receiving the data in milliseconds, then you can be certain of never ever receiving anything back. On top of that, if you need to send packets to multiple clients at the same time, you will need smaller packages for each client that you want to send, while 6g only allows smaller packages that are easier to fit into a single package.

What About Speed? Which One Should I Choose?

So in order to answer this question, we need to look at both 5g and 6g and make a decision depending on their speed. First, we’ll start with 5g.

How Fast Can It Transfer Data?

When looking at both 5g and 6g, we can see that they only differ in terms of throughput. 5g transmits data really quickly, while 6g does slow down slightly. However, 6g can always transfer data at higher rates than 5g. Hence, if we compare the speed of 5g to the speed of 6g, then 6g should be the choice for you. Take a closer look at the table below, and see how much faster each one is when transferring data. As you can see from the table, the fastest 5g speed (which was measured based on transfer speeds) is 56.64Mbps, while 6g, it was the fastest with 45.77Mbps.

So in summary, to answer whether you need a faster connection, you should choose either 5g or 6g based on its speed. However, if you’re looking for the best option for you, remember that 5g may be too quick and the battery life doesn’t allow you to last as long as 6g. Hence, go with 6g.
