China launched the experimental satellite that had next-gen 6G technology on-board the Long March 6 carrier rocket, firing it up into orbit from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in China's northern Shanxi Province on Friday. China launched the 6G part alongside 12 other satellites.
The "UESTC" satellite aka Star Era-12 was named after the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, with the new 6G satellite being used to test the performance of 6G frequency band in space.

We should be OK for awhile.
I am stocked up anyways.

What would you be running that needs more bandwidth than 5G?
They must have some cool things planned for us.

Well 5g is a set of corporate proprietary standards for a bunch of currently existing open technology...what is 6g exactly?

They need it for nano-technology. Fiberoptic cables will soon be obsolete.

“With the advent of 5G, and then 6G, 7G and beyond nanotechnology will allow incredible amounts of data to pass via digital assets in a nano second. However, many countries are now gearing up for 5G by digging up most of our cities to put in new faster fibre optic cable. It is our view and many others that this fibre optic cable will become obsolete within a few years as millimeter wave technology using nano scale innovation will allow us to transmit unlimited amounts of data safely through the airwaves rather than via cumbersome fibre cable without the associated cost and disruption to our urban infrastructures. This will be much faster and cheaper virtual fibre network that will be able to communicate, process and deliver securely to any digital eco system or asset within a nano second. The financial benefits on our future smart cities, infrastructure and economies will be unprecedented.
At The World Nano Foundation, we are working with ex-NASA engineers alongside some of the world’s leading telecoms companies to bring this commercially ready innovation to the digital economy. This will allow for trillions of transactions to run seamlessly across multiple digital or physical assets. The technology was first used for communication networks between space and earth via the space station.“
