Prime Minister Chung Se-Kyun finalised the governments strategy to promote R&D for future mobile telecommunication at a meeting of science and technology-related ministers last month.
Additionally, the trial aims to achieve 1Tbps in data transmission speeds, which amounts to roughly five times faster than 5G and latency reduction to one-tenth of current 5G services.
Meanwhile, Chinese company Huawei has begun early stages of researching on 6G technology at its Ottawa Research & Development Center.
