ZTE and China Unicom have recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement on 6G.
As long-term partners, ZTE and China Unicom will carry out joint collaboration on 6G technological innovation and standards while actively promoting the in-depth integration of 6G technology with satellite networks, the Internet of Things (IoT), the Internet of Vehicles, and the Industrial IoT.
The two companies will conduct joint research on the potential key technologies of 6G, including 'three dimensional' connectivity, Terahertz communication, and the integrated communication and sensing. ZTE and China Unicom will also verify the feasibility of these technologies through both the verification tests and the prototyping trials to achieve the 6G network performance targets, such as the peak data rate of 1 Tbps, the user data rate of 20 Gbps, the volume traffic capacity of 100Gbps/m3.
Based on the experience and technological accumulation of large-scale commercial networks, China Unicom and ZTE aim to promote the long-term evolution of 6G networks.
