The first phase of 6G technology testing has been completed, with over 300 key technology reserves formed and capital accelerating the layout of the 6G ecosystem... Although the deployment of 6G networks is expected to begin in 2030, China's 6G industry layout is accelerating, showing characteristics of policy support, technological breakthroughs, and capital activity. The industry has reached a consensus that 6G has entered a critical period from laboratory conception to industrial implementation, fully empowering various industries and the mass consumer market, and is expected to become a new economic growth point during the 15th Five Year Plan period. Not long ago, the industry's first multi station multi intelligent metasurface (RIS) networking test for 6G was completed in Yanqing, Beijing, providing an innovative path for the development of 6G wide coverage and seamless connection technology. The relevant person in charge of China Telecom Research Institute stated that the plug and play and on-demand deployment of RIS can effectively meet the business continuity requirements of 6G live streaming, smart inspection and other scenarios. This is a microcosm of China's 6G technology experiment entering a new stage. The recently held 2025 6G Development Conference conveyed the latest progress in China's 6G development: China has successfully completed the first phase of 6G technology testing, forming over 300 key technology reserves. The industry generally believes that 6G, as a new generation of intelligent and comprehensive digital information infrastructure, will break through the traditional mobile communication category and achieve deep integration of communication with intelligence, perception, computing, security, and other aspects. 6G will evolve towards stronger performance, higher intelligence, and wider coverage, giving rise to new scenarios such as intelligent integration, sensory integration, and satellite ground integration. At the same time, 6G will expand from the evolution of mobile communication technology to cross domain integration with artificial intelligence, satellite Internet, etc., to realize the comprehensive and efficient connection of people, machines, things and agents. ”Zhang Yunming, Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology, stated. In response to this cutting-edge field of global technological innovation, policy and industry sides are working together to accelerate forward-looking research and deployment of 6G, achieving positive progress. The reporter learned that in recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has systematically promoted innovative research in 6G system design, network architecture, and key technologies, and extensively carried out 6G technology solicitation. In addition, China has gathered over a hundred units from both domestic and international industrial chains to jointly organize mainstream global equipment enterprises to fully participate in 6G technology trials and promote innovative development of 6G. The 6G Promotion Group deepens exchanges and cooperation with organizations such as the European 6G-IA and the South Korean 6G Forum, jointly promoting 6G technology research and development and exploring business models. This year marks the comprehensive launch of 6G standardization research, and the development of 6G is at a critical stage of accelerated technological innovation and increasingly clear industrial direction. ”Zhang Yunming stated. Facing future development, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has made it clear that it will continue to strengthen the research and development of key core technologies and the integration of technology solutions, and comprehensively promote technology research and development, standard development, experimental verification, application cultivation, and other work, laying a solid foundation for the standardization and industrialization of 6G; Deepen the integration and innovative development of the mobile communication industry and related industries, strengthen resource agglomeration and industrial synergy; Give full play to the driving role of applications, proactively layout and cultivate the 6G integrated application industry ecosystem. What does 6G mobile phone look like when terminal innovation becomes an industry lever? From functional phones in the 2G and 3G era to smart phones in the 4G and 5G era, the evolution of mobile communication in each generation is undoubtedly closely accompanied by significant improvements in terminal capabilities. The industry generally believes that innovative breakthroughs in terminals will become the core driving force for promoting the implementation of the 6G industry. The success of 6G depends not only on network capabilities, but also on the performance of terminals. Users are the ultimate judges. ”Wen Ku, Chairman of the China Communications Standards Association, believes that. In the industry's view, 6G phones are likely to be AI phones with built-in end side models, and stronger intelligent agent phones will emerge in the future. At present, all mainstream mobile phone manufacturers in China have launched AI mobile phone products. According to a report by market research firm Canalys, the proportion of global AI smartphones in smartphone shipments is predicted to be 16% by 2024, and this proportion will increase to 54% by 2028. The experience brought by 6G mobile phones will also undergo disruptive changes, with the most intuitive feeling being the shift from "watching videos" in the 5G era to "entering videos", and from remote communication to scene coexistence. AI+XR (Extended Reality) is expected to become an important driving force for 6G. ”Wu Hequan, academician of the CAE Member, pointed out that. Therefore, 6G terminals will not just be mobile phones, but will evolve towards the trend of multiple smart devices collaborating, including glasses, headphones, watches, selfie sticks, smart homes, and more. At the same time, the importance of in vehicle terminals is becoming increasingly prominent. In the future, cars will not only be transportation vehicles, but also mobile wireless hubs, becoming an important component of the 6G terminal ecosystem. In addition, 6G terminals will also include unmanned aerial vehicle onboard communication terminals, directly connected satellite terminals, etc. The future 6G terminals will not only be communication tools, but also intelligent hubs with end-to-end AI capabilities and support for virtual real integration. ”The President of the Greater China Region of the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA), Si Han, pointed out. The industrial sector is an important scene for 6G terminal innovation. Wu Hequan believes that intelligent industrial modules will become one of the key applications in the 6G era, including equipment fault diagnosis, whole plant scheduling, and other capabilities, which will be achieved through intelligent industrial modules. The global terminal industry chain will undergo a reshaping in the 6G era. From high-performance chips, displays, memory and other key devices, to operating systems, large models and other root technologies, to office, entertainment, shopping and other applications, the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain will face enormous opportunities and challenges. The three major telecom operators in China, Huawei, ZTE and other companies, have already laid out their layouts in the 6G industry chain. International companies such as NVIDIA, Vodafone, Apple, and Samsung are also increasing their investment in 6G. The global 6G industry competition has quietly begun. To seize the high ground of industrial development, "in the future, we need to take terminal innovation as the starting point and create a new ecosystem for 6G development. ”Wu Hequan emphasized. Beijing has introduced an action plan for 6G technology innovation and industry cultivation, Shanghai has proposed to accelerate the cultivation of future industries such as 6G, and Hubei has promoted the establishment of a 6G industry development alliance through joint investment by chain leading enterprises. Various regions have been accelerating the layout of the 6G ecosystem. In Zhuzhou, Hunan, where the Beidou spatiotemporal information industry cluster is accelerating its rise, satellite manufacturing company Sederet is optimistic about the development opportunities of "satellite ground integration" in the 6G industry during the "15th Five Year Plan" period. In terms of technological upgrading, we are mainly doing three things to respond to the national strategy: first, building satellites like cars; second, making satellites smarter and more reliable; third, making satellite data better used, such as through the integration of Beidou and AI, to serve the monitoring of illegal constructions in smart cities, agricultural pest warning, and dynamic environmental protection supervision, so that the satellite capabilities in the sky can truly land and solve practical problems on the ground. ”6G air ground integration needs to cover emergency, ecological, engineering and other scenarios. Zhongke Tianzhi has already met the needs of emergency, engineering management (4D digital twin), and ecological monitoring verification. In the future, it can extend to marine applications, low altitude economy and other fields, and connect with the trillion level 'satellite ground integration' market. ”Wang Ren, Deputy General Manager of Zhongke Tianzhi Yunkong (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd., a developer of innovative satellite application technology, told reporters. It is worth noting that the capital market is also accelerating the layout of the 6G industry. Listed companies have frequent actions, accelerating industry integration through mergers and acquisitions and other measures. Industry experts remind that 6G is not a simple evolution of 5G, and there is still a long way to go in terms of technology, market, and ecology. The development of the industry needs to be gradual and form an industry growth pole of "5G-A and 6G coordinated development and mutual support". (New Society)
