Looking to Develop Equipment Prototype by 2026
The Presidential Transition Committee said that the new South Korean government is planning to come up with a 6G communications prototype in 2026 with the technology expected to be commercialized between 2028 and 2030.
“When it comes to future economic growth drivers, the current government is focusing on non-memory chip, future car and biotech and healthcare,” it said, adding, “The new government is planning to add 6G communications, secondary battery, display, defense and aerospace, advanced nuclear power plant and digital content.”
“6G communications is characterized by zero latency, that is, connection without any waiting,” it explained, continuing, “The global commercialization is anticipated in the late 2020s or 2030 and the new government is aiming to reach there earlier.”
