South Korea plans to launch first 6G internet service in 2028

South Korea’s Ministry of Technology and Communications announced last Monday (20) plans to launch commercial 6G network by 2028. According to reports, the rollout will happen two years faster than originally planned. In addition, the country aims to become the first territory to distribute a 6G network to citizens, ahead of other competitors. Apparently, Samsung will support the government’s plans and should have 6G devices ready by 2028.

South Korea wants to start testing 6G in 2026, taking the first steps towards rolling out the network. The country will launch its own 6G network service, strengthening its network supply chain. And to accelerate the implementation, the South Korean government intends to invest the equivalent of 482 million US dollars. Part of the resources must be directed to local companies, to the production of materials and components. The goal is to accelerate the spread of the 6G network in all areas of the country.

South Korean government invests in 6G

The 6G network will be faster than 5G, estimated to be 100 times faster. Reports indicate that the South Korean government intends to increase the share of 6G patents to 30%. The country is currently responsible for 25.9% of 5G patents, behind China (26.8%). This shows that the country is committed to becoming a great global spokesperson for 6G.

We can expect full support for the project from Samsung. Therefore, it is not surprising, if the government plans come true, that Samsung is already planning to launch the world’s first 6G smartphones, also in 2028. The first tests of the 6G network are scheduled for 2026, until then there are still a few years to go, but it will be interesting to follow the 6G race that South Korea is leading. It remains to be seen what the plans of other countries such as China and the US are.
