6G is coming, how will the business change?

The next generation (6G) transmission technology may be hundreds of times faster than 5G, and in addition to speed, 6G will become a fully integrated system that allows instant communication between devices, consumers and the surrounding environment. Business technologies that can support 6G will also completely change the way companies handle information, communicate, make decisions and train employees.

This new technology will inspire exciting innovative use cases and even bring about major societal changes, but it will also inevitably bring unprecedented challenges.

Now let’s return to the title and talk about how 6G technology will change the business landscape as we know it.

Looking forward to the new era after the popularization of 6G

What major updates will we experience after 6G technology is implemented and widely popularized?

First, 6G will ignite the fire of the Metaverse. The Metaverse is currently just a hype concept in the IT field, and 5G is not enough to provide the necessary bandwidth support for a personalized 3D world rendered in real time. But 6G will be able to support such speed and bandwidth, allowing technology giants to build a lifelike, stable and fully integrated new virtual world.

In addition, 6G technology will enrich the types of smart devices on the market. By then, our society will have more devices connected to the Internet and collect and transmit data more efficiently.

This ubiquitous intelligence and comprehensive expansion of the Internet of Things will establish a seamless connection between people's daily lives and the Internet.

6G will also change the way we work

The emergence of 6G is also expected to change our future work scenarios and working methods:

Enhancing the way we connect online

Instead of spending hours in 2D Zoom or Teams meetings, we can meet in 3D digital spaces and communicate with our avatars in a “real” way. Not only can we meet in groups, but we can even communicate body language in real time.

If a one-on-one meeting is needed, we can simply remove other logged-in users and designate a quiet virtual space for private communication. If we need to visit a factory or try out a product, we can simply navigate to the corresponding digital twin environment and experience everything there.

Training future employees with VR and AR

With the help of 6G technology, companies will provide immersive VR and AR training experiences, simplify the knowledge transfer process between teams and promote knowledge retention.

Honeywell, an aerospace and engineering group, is already using AR and VR to improve its training. The company equips new employees with mixed reality headsets that allow them to "watch" other employees doing their work in real time. As new employees mimic tasks, VR and AR technologies overlay information on the screen to guide them as they progress.

Experience the new world of social media

Unlike the boring experience of viewing other people’s 2D profiles today, as 6G technology becomes more popular on smartphones, we will access each other’s 3D space through mixed reality headsets and truly experience personalized content presented in real time.

For example, we can visit other people’s virtual homes and admire their artwork and 3D rendered holiday memories, or we can meet up with other social friends on a virtual planet and chat around the fire.

The transformation of healthcare

6G technology will revolutionize the healthcare industry. With lightning-fast data transmission speeds, we will have smart sensors running permanently inside our blood vessels, monitoring and measuring our health indicators.

These connected devices will continuously collect data and analyze information to provide recommendations and predictions before health problems arise. We will also see smart devices responsible for providing physical assistance and medication, and their continuous updates will gradually create another digital image of personal health that lives online.

With these new advances, the healthcare industry will move from reactive treatment to a predictive, personalized model. This will fundamentally change the way we maintain health in the future and will have a significant impact on every healthcare worker.

6G and Transportation

With 6G connectivity, we will have real-time 4D maps to help traffic management departments manage traffic flow in future cities. In addition to self-driving cars on the ground, even flying vehicles in the air can be included. Your commute will be improved between high-precision sensors at both ends of the vehicle and the base station, providing you with a faster and more comfortable commuting experience through accurate navigation.

The future workplace under 6G coverage

In short, 6G is coming to us, and it may be here as early as 2030, and it will have a huge impact on the way we work and live.

With accelerated developments in areas such as conferencing, job training, social media, healthcare, and transportation, we are moving towards an incredible array of 6G use cases. We believe these new applications will benefit all of society and improve the life experience of everyone around the world.
