LG said, 6G networks are expected to be commercially available in 2029

LG Electronics said on Tuesday that the company has been working with two other partners to jointly develop next-generation 6G network technology.

LG has signed a partnership agreement with Keysight, an American electronic test and measurement company, and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).

According to the cooperation agreement, the three parties will cooperate in the development of technologies related to terahertz, which is a key frequency band for 6G communications.

Its goal is to complete 6G research by 2024. LG stated that 6G networks are expected to be commercially available in 2029. The company announced that 6G will give faster data speeds, lower network latency, and higher reliability than 5G, and will be able to introduce the concept of the Internet of Everything that will give users a magnified connection experience.

LG established a 6G research center with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology in 2019 and signed an agreement with the Korea Institute of Standards and Science last year to jointly conduct 6G technology research.

Keysight is a major supplier of 6G terahertz test equipment, and the company has been providing equipment for LG and the 6G research center of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology.
