Samsung describes 6G communication as next-generation communication technology that can be used to develop "Truly Immersive XR", which is a virtual reality experience based on an individual's all five senses, "3D High-Fidelity Mobile Holograms and Digital Replica" technologies that can replicate people, objects and spaces in a virtual environment.
To achieve these and to secure the 6G spectrum, Samsung is considering evaluations of all available 6G bands, ranging from low-band (below 1GHz) and mid-band (up to 24GHz) to high-band (24GHz to 300GHz). The company also proposes to convert existing 3G, 4G and 5G band-based networks to work with the upcoming 6G technology, saying that research on rules and regulations for 6G technology will improve operations and services during commercial deployment.
Samsung also says that the mid-band, which spans from 7GHz to 24GHz, would offer higher speed and reasonable coverage for users. While the sub-terahertz band (92GHz to 300GHz) is currently being studied for ultra-high data rate support.
