As an important achievement of the industrial revolution, information and communication technology has always been widely concerned by countries around the world, grasping the initiative of communication technology, and maintaining a certain technological advantage in the future international competition, which is also one of the factors that Chinese companies such as Huawei have been suppressed by the West many times. At present, China is already in a dominant position in the 5G market, in order to ensure an advantage in the field of 6G, the United States and the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, South Korea and Sweden and other ten countries have formed an "alliance" to make a challenge to China and curb China's development pace in the field of 6G. Judging from the list, the "10-nation alliance" is a "strong enemy", not only has high-end talents in the field of information and communication, but also has a very mature domestic industrial development, and China can be described as a huge pressure.
6G is a strategic technology at best. 5G communication mainly relies on base stations to achieve conduction, the mainland has built millions of 5G base stations, but in deserts, mountains, forests and other remote areas there will still be communication blind spots, and 6G communication coverage is more extensive, it relies on communication satellites to achieve 24-hour continuous signal coverage around the world. In addition, the fastest transmission speed of 5G is only 20G, while the speed of 6G is 100 times faster than that of 5G. Because of this advancement, China is currently planning the construction of ultra-low orbit satellite constellation, in February, China Mobile Communications Corporation successfully launched the world's first 6G architecture verification satellite, and the "Alliance of Ten" also attaches great importance to the layout of the 6G field.
As early as 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Future Networks Act, which requires the establishment of a 6G working group composed of governments, enterprises, and public interest groups as soon as possible; Japan has gone even further, announcing the "Beyond 5G Promotion Strategy" in 2020 and establishing a 6G R&D fund in 2022, and the European Union has formed and expanded a 6G R&D alliance centered on private companies. However, most of these countries are still stuck in policy, and only South Korea has taken the lead. Recently, according to South Korean media, the South Korean government is preparing to increase investment in three major mobile communication companies such as SK Telecom and Korea Telecom to ensure a leading position in the "6G era". South Korea has also listed 6G as one of its 12 national strategic technologies and has set a goal of commercialization by 2028. A senior communications ministry official has made no secret of his ambitions, saying South Korea will compete for global hegemony by investing in 6G technology as a preemptive strike.
South Korea has always been based on semiconductors and information technology, but since the United States implemented "chip control" on China, China has accelerated its research and development progress through self-reliance, making South Korean companies such as Samsung and Hynix very passive. In the field of communications, Samsung Electronics was the leader of the global 5G communication equipment market in the early days, and Huawei, Nokia and other latecomers came first, a huge blow to the South Korean communications market, at this time South Korea took the lead in the field of 6G, and did not rule out the idea of seizing technological opportunities and competing for global communication hegemony, which is of great significance to South Korea's future international competition and enhance its national status. At the same time, South Korea's move does not rule out "showing loyalty" to the United States and practicing the US strategy of containing China with concrete actions.
In addition to the world's first 6G architecture verification satellite launched by China Mobile, China will launch tens of thousands of ultra-low orbit communication satellites in the future to ensure signal coverage in the middle and high latitudes at the same time. This is not only the objective demand brought by China's vast territory, but also the sentinel of the Sino-US communication technology competition, the melee has begun, under the Chinese version of the "Starlink plan", the future of the 6G field of the game deer to die, it is not yet known.
