Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei says his company has started work on 6G mobile networks — that's the successor of 5G which has yet to roll out on a large scale.
6G refers to the next generation of technology after 5G, which has yet to roll out on a large scale.Ren Zhengfei, founder and chief executive officer of Huawei Technologies, left, speaks during an interview at the company's headquarters in Shenzhen, China, in January.Huawei has begun research on 6G — the successor to 5G mobile networks which are not yet widespread, according to its CEO Ren Zhengfei.
5G is the name of next-generation mobile networks that promises super-fast data speeds and the ability to underpin new technologies like driverless cars. These networks are slowly rolling out in places such as South Korea, the U.K. and soon China. However, they are not yet available on a large scale."We have parallel work being done on 5G and 6G, so we started out 6G a long time ago," Ren said during a CNBC-hosted panel on Thursday.
For any new mobile network generation, standards need to be set by the industry. This has taken place for 5G and initial discussions have happened regarding 6G, but standards could take years to form.
