Carriers around the United States are racing to deploy 5G as newer smartphones like the iPhone 12 start to include radios for the next-generation wireless service. Meanwhile in China, the country is said to have launched the first-ever 6G satellite into space.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

To be clear, there\u2019s actually no industry standard yet as to what will classify as 6G. We\u2019re still in the extreme early days of 5G. What China launched is a satellite that intends to test what could potentially be the next technology to leap promised 5G network speed.<\/p>\n

The technology involves high-frequency terahertz waves that promise 100 times the data speeds of 5G technology, although the satellite is only a test before a 6G standard is established.<\/p>\n

The so-called 6G satellite launched from Taiyuan in China using the country\u2019s Long March 6 rocket on November 6, 2020.<\/p>\n
