China sends world's first 6G test satellite into orbit

[AU5]

China has successfully launched the world's first 6G satellite into space to test the technology.

It went into orbit along with 12 other satellites from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the Shanxi Province.

High-speed technology will be trialled, which will be one of the core elements of sixth-generation communications.

The satellite also carries technology which will be used for crop disaster monitoring and forest fire prevention.

The satellite is meant to trial new technology expected to be many times faster than 5G.

It's getting crowded up there as everybody wants to have a satellite orbiting.

Planned satellite constellation poses a collision threat, NASA says: reports

AST & Science's planned SpaceMobile network could threaten the "A-Train" group of Earth-observing satellites, according to NASA.

NASA has voiced "substantial concerns" about a planned constellation of broadband satellites, saying the commercial spacecraft would increase the risk of collisions in an important slice of Earth orbit.

On Oct. 30, NASA submitted an official comment letter to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding a request by Texas-based company AST & Science to operate a network of up to 243 satellites about 450 miles (720 kilometers) above Earth's surface, as Ars Technica's Eric Berger reported earlier this week.

This constellation, called SpaceMobile, will provide broadband service directly to cell phones, if all goes according to the company's plan. To pull this off, the SpaceMobile satellites will sport very large antennas — gear that covers an area of about 9,700 square feet (900 square meters), Berger wrote

How is this related to China?

no connection to China.
just saying, the world is racing to have satellites in space.

Oooh, I think hizo ni zile kama Neuralink za SpaceX which scientists have been complaining about

6G = Space Corona

also, think soo.

but why the hurry from China to move to 6g before we have even used 5g.
but they know better, congrats to them

In china and South Korea 5G is widely deployed. Ni sisi tu ndio tuko nyuma.


As for 6g, for now ni bado research phase
