While the world is still very much in the transition phase with 5G, research is already well underway for
the next iteration of the technology standard for mobile broadband networks - 6G.
Statista's Martin
Armstrong notes that, according to a whitepaper by Samsung it takes
an average of ten years for a new standard to become ready for
commercialization, with 5G taking eight years. The tech giant suggested a
potential rollout date of 2028-2030 for 6G, highlighting the urgent need for
progress to be made.
As this infographic shows, the country at the front of this new charge is China.

Data from the Cyber Creative Institute as covered by Nikkei Asia
shows that of around 20,000 6G-related patent applications as of August 2021,
40.3 percent originated from the Asian superpower. The
United States isn't far behind, however, claiming 35.2 percent of the
applications. The home of Samsung, South Korea, is in
fifth place (when combining applications for European countries) with 4.2
percent.
The source assessed patent applications for nine core 6G
technologies including communications, quantum technology, base stations and
artificial intelligence. 6G is expected to be about ten times
faster than 5G.
