The future of mobile connections is getting closer: Samsung and Arm are working in parallel to lay the foundations for everything that is to come regarding 6G networks.
When 5G has not yet deployed its full potential, the next mobile data generation is getting closer. Recently, it has become known how Samsung and Arm would be working on a joint project that will lay the foundations for the development of 6G through open source software.
One of the problems they are encountering is that the performance of the data packets will be so high that it will be necessary to have new software that allows move such a volume of information. It is worth remembering that it is estimated that 6G will be able to offer speeds that are will be around 1 TB per second. A scenario that requires having the appropriate infrastructure to accommodate the possibilities offered by this technology.
Parallel packet processing
The solution Samsung and Arm are working on together is called parallel packet processing. Only in this way will they be able to accommodate the characteristics required by the performance that the data can achieve with 6G. The open source project that both companies are working on intends to take advantage of the knowledge of both companies to work on a new software base that will also be free forever.
At the time of writing these lines, and based on the information from the previously mentioned media, it is estimated that the launch of 6G networks will be at the end of the decade. However, the work being carried out by the two technology companies mentioned previously is aimed precisely at the possibility of shortening waiting times as much as possible and being able to bring forward their landing a few years earlier.
The uses of 6G
As we have already anticipated, the 5G networks They still have a lot to offer users. Which is why it would be difficult to get ahead of ourselves and anticipate the possible uses in which 6G networks could play a prominent role that 5G cannot currently cover. However, everything indicates that one of the aspects on which it has a lot to contribute will have to do with the development of Artificial Intelligence.
To function correctly and smoothly, AI needs move a large amount of data. Thanks to the connection speed and the possibilities that 6G networks will offer us, taking advantage of their low latency, they will allow us to explore a greater number of uses, guaranteeing an excellent user experience.
In addition to this, we cannot forget the autonomous car connectivity, which will need a more powerful connection and a capable infrastructure to allow communication between all vehicles. Being another area in which 6G can influence and help the development of the industry.
