Telecom equipment and network deployment company Ericsson has shared a lot of information regarding 6G. Ericsson says the era of 5G SA and 5G Advanced is about to begin. After this 6G will rapidly change the entire telecom sector. Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are working to bring 5G to the masses better this decade. Releasing the Ericsson Mobility Report, the company said that data usage by users is going to increase further after the introduction of new capabilities.
6G will be launched in 2030
In a November 2024 report, the tech company said that 6G will be deployed early in the next decade, i.e. in 2030. Currently, preparations for 6G communication have started in countries like India, Japan, South Korea, America and China. Currently, 320 telecom operators in the world are providing 5G SA (Stand Alone) network service commercially. This is only 20 percent of the entire world. By 2030, 5G SA will reach 60 percent of the world’s users.
India is currently the fastest country to deploy 5G networks. Airtel and Jio together have provided commercial 5G service in almost all districts of the country. However, Airtel has provided users with NSA i.e. Non Stand Alone 5G network, which is said to be a temporary solution. It is based on existing 4G infrastructure. At the same time, Jio is currently offering 5G SA service to users, with a completely new infrastructure installed for 5G service.
The Ericsson Mobility Report focuses on the fact that telecom companies will now work on advanced 5G to increase network capacity. With more capacity in 5G Advanced, users will have an opportunity to experience the service.
5G advances will be a game changer
Once 5G Advanced is fully operational by 2030, mobile data traffic via Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is expected to triple what it is now. Especially with the advent of generative AI, video consumption and uploading traffic is growing exponentially. Currently the maximum mobile internet data usage in India is around 32GB per user. By 2030 it may reach 66GB.
