The rollout of 5G networks is nowhere near complete, but China is already looking ahead to what comes next. The Asian power this week successfully launched the world’s first 6G satellite into space to test the technology.
It's the signal standard for the given iteration of cell technologies. Generally, the goal is to improve information density such that you can send more data in a tighter frequency within the same amount of time. As the technology improves, the hardware associated with transmission needs to be upgraded. This iteration process is broken up into "generations", such that a given device of #G is assumed to meet the standard and be eligible to participate in a network of the same designation.
