Indians Acquire 100 Patents For 6G Technology: Ashwini Vaishnaw

According to a report, IT and telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Thursday that Indian scientists, engineers, and academics have acquired 100 patents for 6G technology. The minister was addressing the PHD Chamber of Commerce's Bharat Startup Summit.

"Electronics is very complex, but despite the complexity, our scientists, engineers and academicians have together acquired 100 patents in 6G. Also, 5G network rollout has far exceeded the government of 200 cities by March 31, 2023, with coverage in 397 cities at present," Vaishnaw said in a statement.

According to reports, the minister also stated, "When a country or economy has to reach this level then thousands of systems are required to be changed. Governance systems, logistics systems, banking systems, and change in their own business method. This is the time when everyone should get on this transformation journey. If we are able to do this transformation then there is no power that can stop India from becoming a $30 trillion economy."

Vaishnaw stated that India has begun exporting telecom devices to the United States  "Export of radio equipment has started from India in the last 7-8 months and that too to America. Also, 10 years ago 99% of mobile phones were imported and now, 99% of units used in India are made locally."

6G is the sixth-generation mobile system standard presently under development in telecommunications for wireless communications technologies enabling cellular data networks.
