en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's 6G, expected to commence commercial operations around 2030, will focus on advancing standard development and industrial research during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, aiming for large-scale commercial deployment by 2035, which is anticipated to create a trillion-yuan level 6G industry and application market.
Regarding spectrum resources, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently officially approved the license for using 6GHz band 6G trial frequencies, authorized to the IMT-2030 (6G) Promotion Group. This makes China the first country globally to approve 6G trial frequencies.
6G, as the sixth-generation mobile communication technology, is the next-generation global communication standard following 5G. The approved 6GHz band (6425-7125MHz) features a continuous bandwidth of 700MHz, hailed by the communications industry as the "golden spectrum." This band can meet the demands of emerging 6G scenarios and support a smooth transition from 5G to 6G. The development direction of 6G encompasses technology integration and rapid evolution, such as integrated satellite-terrestrial networks, communication-intelligence fusion, and integrated sensing and communication, placing higher demands on spectrum resources for continuous large bandwidth and ubiquitous wide coverage.
The 6GHz band is a scarce, high-quality resource within the mid-band spectrum, offering advantages like wide coverage, large capacity, and high reliability. This band is highly compatible with the existing 5G mid-band industrial ecosystem, allowing for reduced network deployment and construction costs by leveraging a mature global industrial foundation, thus enabling a smooth evolution from 5G to 6G.
China has been initiating 6G-related layouts since 2019 and has currently completed the first phase of technical trials, accumulating over 300 key technology reserves. The world's first 6G international standard is expected to be completed by 2029, with the official commercial phase potentially beginning in 2030.
In the international layout of spectrum resources, China continues to advance related work. During the 2019 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19), China initiated the establishment of an international agenda item for using the 6GHz band for mobile communications and has continuously deepened technical research. At the 2023 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23), China facilitated the identification of 700MHz bandwidth frequency resources in the 6GHz band for 5G/6G across Europe, Africa, the Russian Federation, Arab states, and some countries in Asia-Pacific and the Americas. This increased the total international mid-band spectrum for 5G/6G by over 50%, benefiting more than 60% of the global population. Subsequently, China will continue to promote global or broader consensus on using the 6GHz band for IMT (including 6G).
Regarding domestic layout, in June 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Radio Frequency Allocation" (2023 version), pioneering globally the allocation of all or part of the 6425–7125MHz band for mobile communication systems, including 6G systems, providing an important reference for global 6G frequency allocation. From 2022 to 2025, China successfully completed the first phase of 6G key technology trials and has now initiated the second phase of technical solution trials. From following in 2G, breaking through in 3G, synchronizing in 4G, to leading in 5G, China's mobile communications have achieved leapfrog development, having built the world's largest and technologically leading mobile communication network.
