China: China conducts real-world testing of 6G applications
China has begun real-world testing of key 6G technologies in select environments ahead of commercial deployment, demonstrating significant progress in integrated communication and sensing systems. The 6G Proof-of-Concept Center at the Purple Mountain Laboratories in Nanjing City, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, is the world's first outdoor 6G test site to achieve integrated communications and sensing. It has been in operation since April. Roughly the size of a standard football field, the facility includes dedicated zones for drone operations and embodied robot training, and is equipped with distributed base stations and smart antennas. Mounted on four poles surrounding the site, each set of smart antennas performs two functions at once of communications and sensing. According to researchers, in the past, enabling both functions for drones required two completely separate systems -- base stations and dedicated radar equipment. With 6G technologies, the two features are now integrated into a single device, greatly simplifying the overall system architecture. The integrated communication and sensing technology is expected to play a significant role in emergency response and safety monitoring. Having progressed beyond the laboratory settings into real-world trials, it is expected to achieve scaled deployment in key sectors within the next two to three years. One example is an emergency communications vehicle operating near Taihu Lake in eastern China, which is equipped with a 6G trial network. Drones can conduct monitoring missions over distances exceeding more than 30 kilometers, transmitting uninterrupted real-time high-definition video. Taihu Lake's vast expanse makes base stations deployment challenging, causing 5G drones to frequently lose connection. By contrast, a single 6G base station covers more than 10 times the area of its 5G counterpart, easily spanning large bodies of water. As the technology matures, 6G will achieve full coverage of Taihu Lake, enabling precise detection of illegal fishing and other anomalies, strengthening law enforcement and enhancing environmental protection.
