HIGHLIGHTS
The 6G-driven world has existed in sci-fi movies and on papers.
US thinks it can outshine China but China is not backing down.
If you live in India and have a smartphone, you are most likely to have never experienced 5G. That is because it is not available for the masses yet. Much like India, there are several scores of nations where 5G is either not available or under development for the general public. But away from this disparity, there is a war brewing between two powerful countries over 6G. The futuristic, next-generation telecommunications technology lives on papers right now but that has not stopped the United States and China from engaging in the geopolitical battle that will give the world its winner for 6G deployment.
Forget 5G, US and China Are Already Fighting for 6G Dominance
The first to develop and patent 6G will be the biggest winners in what some call the next industrial revolution. By Shirley Zhao, Scott Moritz, and Thomas Seal, Bloomberg | Updated: 9 February 2021 14:15 IST

The EU in December also unveiled a 6G wireless project led by Nokia
Most of the world is yet to experience the benefits of a 5G network, but the geopolitical race for the next big thing in telecommunications technology is already heating up.
The US Department of Defense (DoD) said it plans to expand its activities in standards-setting organizations including the 3GPP, which is the primary global technology-development association for 5G. To promote high-quality, protected and reliable 5G devices and applications, the US must play a lead role in shaping information and communications technology standards, the Pentagon wrote in its new 5G strategy implementation plan, issued in December. DoD will fully implement its Standards Engagement Plan and will actively participate in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) organization.
The agency said its subject matter experts will work with peers at other US agencies like the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in order to interact with standards-setting bodies including the 3GPP, the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solut

LTE & 5G for Critical Communications Market 2020 Ecosystems In-depth Analysis, Key Players, Demands, Trend, Share, Size, Strategies and Forecasts to 2030
PUNE, India, Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ ReportsnReports present LTE & 5G for Critical Communications: 2020 - 2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts Research Report with 2000 no. of pages, Profiles and strategies of over 600 ecosystem players added to its online research database.
 For nearly a century, the critical communications industry has relied on narrowband LMR (Land Mobile Radio) networks for mission-critical voice and low-speed data services. Over time, these systems have evolved from relatively basic analog radios to digital communications technologies, such as P25 (Project 25) and TETRA, to provide superior voice
