Samsung Electronics hosted its first 6G event, bringing together academics and industry leaders to discuss the future of communications technologies in order to drive 6G research, development, and standardisation. The 'Next Hyper-Connected Experience for All' event comprised presentations and discussions on 6G air interface and AI-based intelligent networks for 6G by global industry experts.
To support new services like high-fidelity mobile holograms and genuinely immersive extended reality (XR), which are characterised by ultra-high speed communications and massive amounts of data, 6G would require spectrum with ultra-wideband contiguous bandwidth ranging from hundreds of MHz to tens of GHz. Demand for more coverage is also increasing. Samsung advises that all accessible bands for 6G be considered, ranging from low-band under 1 GHz through mid-band in the 1-24 GHz area and high-band in the 24-300 GHz range.
It also emphasises the significance of obtaining additional bands for commercial 6G installations, as 5G networks will still be functioning at the time. Within the 7-24 GHz range, the mid-band is a potential for increased data speeds and good coverage. The 92–300 GHz sub-terahertz (sub-THz) band is being studied for support of ultra-high speed data rates. Another approach to get all the spectrum needed for 6G is to refarm current bands utilised for 3G, 4G, and 5G networks to 6G operation, according to the white paper. It also emphasises the importance of doing research on forward-thinking spectrum rules and technology in order to provide effective and flexible support for 6G and other services with the limited spectrum available.
During his speech, Sebastian Seung, president and head of Samsung Research, said, "We envision that 6G will allow ultimate experiences for humans and everything through the next level of hyper-connectivity."
While 5G communication networks are still being marketed throughout the world, with users constantly complaining about quality and speed, Seung told Yonhap news agency that it was time to start preparing for 6G.
"As with previous generations, shaping 6G will take several years and will entail a great deal of debate and collaboration among industry and academic actors," he added.

The IT powerhouse from South Korea has been concentrating on developing global unifying standards for mobile communications. It was one of the first to commercialise 5G in April 2019. Samsung Research, which established a 6G research team in 2019, claims that 6G technology would allow for genuinely immersive extended reality. It predicted that 6G will be standardised around 2025, ushering in the hyper-connected future via boosting communication speed and enabling mobile-based virtual reality experiences.
