Recent Developments
- In January 2025, China achieved a significant milestone in satellite-to-ground laser communications, driving the realization of 6G internet. Chang Guang Satellite Technology, the operator of the Jilin-1 satellite constellation, conducted a test that reached a data transmission rate of 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). This speed was ten times faster than their previous record and exceeded the current capabilities of systems like Elon Musk's Starlink, which has yet to implement large-scale laser satellite-to-ground communication. The Jilin constellation aims to expand to 300 satellites by 2027, supporting the deployment of 6G internet and other advanced technologies.
- In November 2024, Telefonica Germany, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), introduced a pilot project to test their quantum technologies within the 5 G mobile network. The project aims to optimize mobile tower replacement, enhance network security through quantum encryption, and apply these insights to the development of 6G networks. This initiative reflects a broader industry trend of exploiting quantum mechanics to achieve faster processing speeds and more secure communications.
