Breaking news from Beijing! 🚀 Last Saturday at the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum, tech innovators revealed a groundbreaking 6G white paper that maps out the future of global 6G technology. The document details Beijing’s strategic plans—from fundamental theories and technological breakthroughs to advanced test facilities and ecosystem development—as it strives to become a global hub for 6G innovation.
The white paper also highlights Beijing’s powerhouse of top-tier research with 16 universities, over 200 renowned scholars, and a vibrant community of 14,000 researchers dedicated to 6G. This robust network positions the city as a true talent hub in the tech arena.
A standout moment of the forum was the joint unveiling of an intelligent 6G prototype system by the ZGC Institute of Ubiquitous-X Innovation and Applications (ZGC X-NET), China Mobile, and the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. This futuristic system boasts a stunning 6.6 Gbps transmission speed, sub-meter precision sensing, and multimodal semantic communication capabilities.
Embodying innovative features such as dynamic computing power scaling, seamless online upgrades (just like the automatic updates on your favorite apps!), and efficient computing offloading that links devices like drones and smart robots to robust AI-driven edge computing pools, the system is a glimpse into tomorrow’s smarter networks.
Industry experts including Huang Yuhong from ZGC X-NET and academician Zhang Ping of the Chinese Academy of Engineering emphasized that integrating AI with network technology is key to meeting the diverse demands of next-gen applications. With 6G standardization set to kick off in July, industrial testing in 2028, and commercial deployment by 2030, Beijing is clearly paving the way for a revolutionary tech era.
Running until March 31 under the theme New Quality Productive Forces and Global Technology Cooperation, this year’s forum is a must-watch for anyone eager to catch a sneak peek into the future of technology. Stay tuned for more updates as these innovations continue to shape a smarter, more connected world!
