6G is still far away, but 5.5G is already there.

Transfer rate up to 10Gbps

With the launch of the first commercial 6G networks still years away, China has installed the first experimental 5.5G signal transmission tower.

The tower is located in Beijing, and the standard is correctly called 5G-A, but usually it is simply called 5.5G.  

6G is still far away, but 5.5G is already there.

As you might guess, this is a transitional link between 5G and 6G. Of course, not in terms of technology, but rather due to the increased data transfer rate, which in this case reaches 10 Gb / s.  

How widespread such networks will become in the coming years is anyone’s guess, but it’s worth noting that Huawei is responsible for the development of 5.5G, which announced this solution last year.
