India's Ambitious Leap to 6G: Terahertz Tech Promises 100x Faster Speeds
  • 6G technology is expected to support innovative applications, including autonomous vehicles, real-time telemedicine, and immersive e-learning experiences.

  • While commercial 6G networks are anticipated globally by 2030, India plans to accelerate its efforts with pilot projects and research, starting trials as early as 2027-2028.

  • India is preparing to launch 6G technology utilizing Terahertz frequency bands, promising speeds of up to 1 terabit per second, which is nearly 100 times faster than current 5G networks.

  • The use of Terahertz (THz) bands, ranging from 0.1 to 10 THz, will facilitate massive data throughput, ultra-low latency, and the ability to connect millions of devices in a dense area.

  • This next-generation technology will offer significantly higher capacity and reliability compared to 5G, while also reducing delays, thereby enhancing user experiences in crowded environments.

  • Minister Pemmasani emphasized that this technological advancement will bring transformative changes in connectivity across various sectors.

  • The Indian government aims to establish the country as a leader in digital infrastructure through the implementation of 6G, focusing on empowering smart cities and advancing Industry 4.0.

  • This initiative reflects India's ambition to redefine communication and position itself as a global technology powerhouse.
