A reporter from Jiefang Daily and Shangguan News learned from the Municipal Science and Technology Commission’s briefing on November 6 that the 2024 Global 6G Development Conference will be held in Songjiang District, Shanghai from November 13 to 14, with the theme of “Navigating the New Journey, Looking at the 6G Standards” cutting edge". The conference will showcase the latest achievements in the innovative development of 6G (sixth generation mobile communications technology) in my country and Shanghai, attract domestic and foreign innovative enterprises in the field of mobile communications to come to China and Shanghai to develop, and promote the better gathering of advantageous resources upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. Promote 6G cutting-edge technology research and development, standard formulation and future industry cultivation.
Qu Wei, deputy director of the Municipal Science and Technology Commission, said that 6G, as a more advanced next-generation mobile communication system, is forward-looking, leading and driving. It will transcend the scope of traditional communications. Through visions such as the integration of perception and communication, the integration of artificial intelligence and communication, and the integration of space, space, and ground, it will generate disruptive technologies and applications, drive strategic products and services, and form future industries. It is a must for global science and technology strategy. field.
According to the plan, 2025-2027 is the research stage of the global 6G standard; 2027-2029 is the formation stage of the first version of the standard; around 2030, 6G will enter the commercial stage.
In terms of cultivating 6G future industries, Shanghai has a good foundation. It has a relatively complete mobile communications and satellite innovation industry chain, the country's leading integrated circuit industry system, artificial intelligence has competitive advantages, and abundant communication R&D talents. There are rich application scenarios in the fields of intelligence, smart manufacturing, low-altitude economy, rehabilitation and elderly care.
In accordance with the strategic deployment of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the Municipal Science and Technology Commission, in collaboration with the Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, Municipal Communications Administration and other departments, is planning the development of 6G with the support of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology. In 2022, the Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology signed a "Strategic Cooperation Agreement" to jointly promote strategic planning in the 6G field, collaborative research on major technical directions, and building testing and verification capabilities.
In the future, Shanghai will anchor the national strategic goal of leading the development of 6G, strengthen cooperation between ministries and cities, linkage between municipalities and commissions, and "strengthen the foundation" in the direction of chip devices and module systems, and "forge long boards" in the direction of satellite interconnection and instrumentation. ", "exploring new paths" for new terminals and new access directions. By deepening the integration of 6G and artificial intelligence, accelerating disruptive technology research and strategic product research and development, creating benchmark scenario demonstrations, nurturing leading technology companies, promoting the development of industrial clusters, strengthening element support guarantees and institutional innovation, we will build a national first-class 6G future industry Innovation system to build Shanghai into a 6G future industry innovation center with global influence.
It is reported that the 2024 Global 6G Development Conference has many "Shanghai elements". At the main forum and sub-forums of the conference, a number of Shanghai artificial intelligence experts and representatives of satellite Internet companies will make reports; at the opening ceremony, the unveiling ceremony of Shanghai 6G Xintong Intelligent Valley will be held; at the supporting exhibition of the conference, Chuangyuan Information Technology , Yuanxin Satellite, Nokia Bell, Torrent Semiconductor and many other Shanghai companies will display their latest achievements. "We will also take advantage of the opportunity of domestic and foreign 6G experts to gather in Shanghai, actively consult with experts, and pool global wisdom to create a 6G future." Qu Wei said.
