"5G, 6G... Redefining Next-Generation Networks" Samsung to Hold Online Event on 22nd

[Asia Economy Reporter Joselgina] Samsung Electronics will hold an online event titled ‘Samsung Networks: Redefined’ on the 22nd, revealing the direction of next-generation networks.

According to Samsung Electronics on the 4th, the company released a short official teaser video lasting 15 seconds on its global English newsroom. The video shows a dark screen with a circular shape appearing and spinning increasingly faster from 2G to 6G. Then, the phrase 'Unleashing the full power of 5G' appears.

Samsung Electronics conveyed an invitation message saying, "See how Samsung Electronics’ cutting-edge technology unleashes the full power of 5G and ultimately creates a seamlessly connected society."

The event will be broadcast live via YouTube streaming on the 22nd at 11 PM Korean Standard Time (KST), 10 AM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), and 4 PM Central European Summer Time (CEST).

This event is the first online event hosted by Samsung Electronics’ Network Business Division. Samsung Electronics explained, "It was prepared to introduce the latest 5G network technologies and products." Key executives, including President Jeon Kyung-hoon of the Network Business Division, will participate as presenters, and the event will last about 30 minutes. Specifically, the division’s proprietary chips, software capabilities, virtualization solutions, base stations, and specialized networks will be introduced.

Industry insiders expect Samsung Electronics to focus on 5G while also mentioning the development status of next-generation networks such as 6G. Samsung formed a dedicated 6G research and development team early in 2019, the first year of 5G commercialization, and has been conducting research since then. Last year, Samsung released the 6G white paper titled ‘A New Dimension of Hyper-Connected Experience,’ presenting a vision for next-generation communication technology and signaling its intention to lead the technology. This reflects Samsung’s commitment to pioneering the technologies needed for the 6G era.

Major foreign media outlets evaluated that while 6G is not yet a stage to replace 5G, Samsung Electronics is ready to share its vision for the future.
