China's 6G test hits 280 Gbps and leaves 5G looking like dial-up

China Mobile Makes Breakthrough Progress With 6G Deployment; Enables The Download Of A 50GB File In Mere 1.4 Seconds, Completely Overshadowing 5G’s Capabilities share.google/NYCGEJDsTKaQ78…

China Mobile just achieved what no Western telecom has even dared to attempt. 6G speeds hitting 280 Gbps, enough to download a 50GB file in 1.4 seconds. This isn’t a forecast. It’s already happened. (1/12)

Ten test base stations. Terahertz spectrum. A working prototype, not vaporware. Meanwhile, we’re still fumbling with mid-band 5G rollouts like it’s 2019. (2/12)

This wasn’t cooked up for investors. It’s an engineering milestone. Real-time throughput. Near-zero latency. While we overcharge for throttled plans, China’s sketching out a post-buffering world. (3/12)

Forget incremental upgrades. This leap leaves 5G in the dust. China’s test hit speeds over 10 times faster than 5G’s peak theoretical ceiling. Not on paper. In action. (4/12)

It gets worse for us. China isn't waiting around for global consensus on 6G protocols. It is already laying the groundwork, building standards on its terms. (5/12)

There are no illusions in Beijing that Nokia or Ericsson will carry the load this time. The Party sees what they’ve become. Western-aligned liabilities, not partners. (6/12)

China’s 6G push is domestic, disciplined, and vertically integrated. From spectrum allocation to device hardware to the fiber backbone, it is all under one roof. (7/12)

We treat spectrum like a real estate asset. Our telecom strategy starts at the FCC and ends with hedge funds. No wonder nothing gets built. (8/12)

In the U.S., each “next G” is a sales gimmick. In China, it is a matter of national strength. They are not trying to upsell phones. They are trying to reshape information dominance. (9/12)

This will not stay confined to lab tests. When China prototypes, it scales. When we prototype, we hold a panel. That is the difference. (10/12)

Ask yourself. When was the last time a U.S. carrier made headlines for innovation, rather than for outages, lawsuits, or layoffs? (11/12)

China Mobile just previewed the next era of communications. No committees. No excuses. No waiting for Europe. Just full speed ahead. (12/12)
