[China sends 'world's first 6G' test satellite into orbit
China has successfully launched what has been
described as "the world's first 6G satellite"
into space to test the technology.
It went into orbit along with 12 other satellites
from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center
in the Shanxi Province.
The telecoms industry is still several years away
from agreeing on 6G's specifications,
so it is not yet certain the tech being trialled
will make it into the final standard.
It involves use of high-frequency terahertz
waves to achieve data-transmission speeds
many times faster than 5G is likely to be capable of.
The satellite also carries technology which
will be used for crop disaster monitoring
and forest fire prevention.]
