Potential application scenarios of 6G in the future

Although 6G is not yet a viable technology, it will not be long before 6G technology matures and becomes popular. Once 6G becomes popular, it will be able to support a larger global network of devices, revolutionize applications in industries such as healthcare, and help develop and popularize more technologies.

Although the transition to 6G technology will take time, 6G networks will change the way we conduct business and connect with others, and will give rise to many incredible applications. However, before looking into 6G applications, it is first important to understand exactly what 6G is.

What is 6G?

6G stands for the sixth generation of mobile network connection technology. It surpasses the 5G network currently in use around the world, with faster and more stable connections, enabling mobile devices to support more demanding and demanding tasks. In fact, the applications of 6G technology include such things as Industry 4.0, augmented reality, automated transportation, e-health, and more.

In fact, the potential application scenarios of 6G in the future mainly include the following parts:

Potential application scenarios of 6G

1) Promote the development of Industry 4.0

The fourth industrial revolution focuses on the creation and development of industrial technology to drive manufacturing and business development around the world. However, at present, Industry 4.0 is just a shell, and with the help of 6G network technology, global companies will begin to achieve industrial progress.

The arrival of 6G technology can better promote the implementation of robotics in factories and consumer environments, allowing various machines to access each other through mobile networks, so as to better collaborate with each other and perform more tasks. In addition, 6G technology can support the use of increasingly complex network physical systems.

Beyond that, 6G technology will pave the way for increasingly viable cloud business services. With revolutionary leaps in bandwidth and reliability, cloud platforms are expected to support large-scale (and global) business without encountering latency issues. In fact, to enable artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and telepresence technologies, it is expected that the next generation of mobile connections must support download speeds of more than one terabyte per second, which will be faster than current 5G networks (10 Gbps).

2) Leveraging 6G to achieve healthcare technology innovation

Healthcare is also expected to change dramatically in the 6G future with the advent of eHealth. eHealth will allow providers to offer patients ultra-high-speed connections, constant availability, and even telepresence tools. What’s more, it could revolutionize face-to-face care by using augmented reality to help complete surgeries or emergency treatments.

These health changes will be enabled by the enhancement of 6G internet technology and artificial intelligence programs that will be able to manage the system and continuously improve it by self-assessing its progress. Hopefully, this will allow for the development of a safer and more efficient health industry.

3) Paving the way for AR/VR development

Outside of the health industry, augmented reality will become a staple of modern life in the 6G future. 6G will not only pave the way for advanced gaming, but will also transform business and entertainment. Imagine being able to put a digital version of the Mona Lisa on the wall to study for an exam, or viewing a life-size mannequin to fully prepare for a surgical procedure. These things will be possible with a 6G connection.

6G internet technology will begin to allow the use of powerful sensors to create digital assets based on real-life objects and people, bringing the digital world closer to the real world. Currently, the need to create holograms or any 3D representations from digital assets is very high, and this future technology can only be achieved with the speed of 6G internet technology, as data storage and bandwidth can be greatly improved.

4) Promoting the development of autonomous driving technology

It is well known that autonomous transportation will eventually become feasible using technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, high-speed connectivity, and machine learning. For years, people have been talking about the application of automation in the trucking and bus industries. With the popularization of 6G technology, any family will be able to buy a self-driving car. These vehicles will communicate seamlessly with each other and will work hard to create a smooth road experience.

In the field of autonomous driving, there have been concerns about the algorithms that autonomous cars will be equipped with - that is, if someone suddenly jumps into the road, what will the autonomous car "decide" to do? Will it prioritize the driver's life or the pedestrian's life? In fact, these potential problems are not something that 6G can solve, but rather the result of the implementation of automated software.

The future of 6G technology

In the future, 6G will bring great changes to global business, entertainment, healthcare and learning. 6G technology will make it easier for enterprises to thrive in the digital world.

However, 6G internet technology is also fraught with risks. For example, is it wise to start implementing remote surgery? How often does enhanced software go wrong? Is advanced reliance on robotics really a viable option for the future?

These questions cannot be answered now, and 6G Internet cannot be fully understood before it is implemented. However, what is certain is that the future of 6G will mean huge changes for the entire world.
