India's rapidly growing population is creating a huge consumer market potential, and many foreign companies are beginning to focus on investment in the Indian market. For example, Apple has increased its layout in India, and Ericsson also praised the speed of 5G development in India.
Perhaps the huge market potential has brought confidence to India, and it has announced that it has obtained 100 patents for 6G technology, but I smiled when I saw China.
Countries have stepped up the construction of 5G networks and spent a lot of effort in building the communication technology industry. China granted operators 5G commercial licenses as early as 2019, and since then operators have continued to expand the number of 5G base station construction, so far, there are more than 2.3 million 5G base stations.
Not only 5G, but also research on 6G has been launched in China, including endogenous intelligent new networks, terahertz and visible light communication, and space-space-ground integration. The scope and depth of the research are at the leading stage in the world.
While 6G won't be commercially available until 2030 at the earliest, there are advantages and disadvantages to early deployment. Huawei carried out 5G research ten years ago and made leading progress with advanced deployment.
If the development goes well, many countries will enter the 5G era in 2024, and then invest in the research and development of 6G networks on a large scale.
Of course, many countries have been methodically promoting the research and development of 6G technology so far, such as Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of IT and Telecommunications of India, said: "Despite the complexity of the technology, Indian scientists, engineers and academicians have obtained 100 patents for 6G technology." ”
From the research itself, whatever progress is made, it is an improvement. Abandoning the position, from the perspective of human scientific and technological development, technological breakthroughs can bring greater convenience to the people. But 6G research itself is a competition, and everyone hopes to master more core technologies.
If the technology does not reach the world-class level, just continue to work hard. The key is that India has announced 100 6G technologies with a high profile, and the construction of 5G has been described as a technological leap "with the world's fastest network rollout speed".
You know, India's 5G construction time is not long, and a lot of time is wasted on the selection of 5G equipment cooperation suppliers, standing behind the United States to try to exclude Huawei and ZTE 5G equipment.
In order to obtain 5G commercial contracts in the Indian market, Ericsson has increased its layout in the Indian market. And Ericsson global CEO Borje Ekholm said that India is one of the fastest countries in the world to launch 5G, and by the end of 2023, it will lead most countries.
Judging from Ericsson's statement, there is a feeling of "seeing people and talking about people", doing business in the Indian market, naturally saying some beautiful things to satisfy the other party.
However, the reality is that by the end of 2022, India had only deployed more than 21,000 5G base stations. Originally, India's goal was to build 10,000 5G base stations per week, but Indian operators are still far from this goal.
Is this fast? China, which is also a country with a large population, ranks first in the world in 5G base stations and plans to build 600,000 new 5G base stations within this year. At present, more than half of the domestic industries have used 5G networks, and 5G technology can be seen everywhere in ports, manufacturing, logistics, and medical care.
In terms of 5G core technology, China's 5G patent holdings are the world's leader, especially Huawei has mastered the world's first 5G patent application and is an important participant in the formulation of 5G standards.
And what about 6G? Compared with India's high-profile announcement of 100 6G patents, I smiled when I saw China. According to the statistics of 20,000 6G patent applications by research companies, China's 6G patent applications accounted for 40.3% of the world, the United States accounted for 35.2%, and the third place was Japan's 9.9%, while India failed to enter the ranking.
Even so, Chinese officials have never focused on how many 6G patent achievements have been achieved, and the technology of the study is studied as usual, and a breakthrough is a breakthrough, and if there is no breakthrough, continue to work hard.
If India can remain modest, abandon the false sky, realistically publicize 6G achievements, and reduce the hype, only then can the outside world face up to these advances. 6G research is not only carried out on the ground, but also requires satellites to carry out space-ground integrated communication connections in space at critical moments.
China has its own Beidou satellite, strong aerospace science and technology strength, coupled with the 6G patents it has obtained, and has the ability to shine in the 6G era.
In the past few network eras, it has been dominated by European and American countries, but since the 5G era, China has performed well and proved itself with real strength. The United States does not want to lose its dominant position, so it frequently makes a moth, and India is also influenced by the United States to prevent Chinese companies from participating in India's 5G tests.
How India chooses is his own business, just want to develop 5G and 6G out of globalization, I am afraid it is not so easy, relying on false boasting, can not achieve real progress.
