The 5G internet is advancing in the world and promises more speed than the previous 4G. However, 6G is already an experimental reality in China. The technology is up to 100 times faster than 5G, according to Chinese state TV.
China sent a satellite in November 2020 to test the 6G internet. In addition to promising to be much faster than 5G, the expectation is that the technology will allow for lossless transmissions in space, with better long-distance communication technologies. The rocket that launched the satellite has entirely national technology.

Initially, the satellite will test smart technologies for cities, such as monitoring for disaster prevention, such as fires. One of the objectives is to also test the environmental monitoring. Fast internet access to the public is expected by 2030. In February 2020. In February 2020, the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology even claimed that 6G technology can reach up to 1 TB (terabyte) per second, which represents 8 thousand times faster than 5G.
6G has not yet arrived in any country. However, 5G, which China was also one of the powers responsible for its use, is the big bet for smart devices in addition to the cell phone. The fifth generation connection is expected to be used, even indoors, in smart devices, such as lamps, security cameras, among others. Even self-driving cars must use the technology.
