What Is 6G Internet & What Will It Look Like? | HighSpeedInternet.com

Even though 5G wireless networks are still in the early stages of deployment, wireless communication companies are already looking ahead and thinking about the next mobile network to come. It’s called 6G.

Technically, 6G doesn’t exist yet. But as experts imagine it, 6G is the next phase of wireless technology, incorporating novel approaches like edge computing and artificial intelligence to help make a completely new type of internet. 6G researchers have also been looking into the potential of terahertz waves—microscopic, submillimeter-sized radio waves that sit on the border between microwaves and infrared radiation—to vastly reduce latency and boost data speeds to as fast as 1 Tbps. That’s a thousand times faster than the fastest Wi-Fi speeds you get from most internet providers today. 

This is all purely theoretical at this early juncture, of course. But growing interest in the subject has led to government investments in research and partnerships between universities and telecommunications companies. So let’s take a deep dive into the world of 6G and imagine what the future holds.
