While technology is advancing rapidly, it has become easier to transfer data over the internet with the introduction of first 4G and then 5G. Of course, as a plus of this, the communication times of smart and autonomous devices with each other have decreased considerably. However, 6G technology has become a necessity for the technology to progress further and for us to see much smarter devices around us.
At the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Nokia showed the usage areas of the technology called 6G Sensing, which is expected to be one of the biggest usage areas of 6G, to users with a short presentation.
Thanks to this technology, autonomous vehicles will perceive people much faster and more clearly.
In 2 different presentations made by Nokia at the Mobile World Congress; The participants were shown how much 6G Detection technology has improved in detecting people and obstacles. In the digital piano and forklift presentations, it was stated that the sensors with 6G Detection technology in front of the screen detect the people and obstacles in front of them much faster and more clearly compared to 5G technology.
Since these sensors, operating in the 27 GHz band, can transmit data at a very high value compared to today’s frequency bands, large and detailed scans can be sent to the computing units of autonomous vehicles and devices with almost zero delay. In addition, the response time of the devices to the remote control will be reduced to almost 0 latency.
In addition, Nokia announced in its presentation that it will install 6G technology instead of 4G on the Moon by using the 14.1 million dollar fund it received from NASA to establish a 4G network on the Moon in 2021, and that uninterrupted communication between the Moon and the Earth will be possible thanks to the special base stations to be used.
Although the details of the project were not disclosed, Nokia’s idea of establishing a telephone network on the Moon had been on the company’s agenda for about 2 years.
While China and South Korea have started preparations to replace 5G technology with 6G by 2030, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Adil Karaismailoğlu has signaled that work has begun for 6G in the past months.
