5G leap from 4G to 5G . According to Carlini , 6G “ could offer life and experience changing functionality .” 6G is expected to operate at THz frequencies , which means access speeds of 1Tbps , which will deliver near ‘ air latency ’. By contrast , even high band 5G taps out at speeds of around 500Mbps , with ‘ air latency ’ of around 8-12ms . This reduction of latency below the millisecond , and with speeds capable of downloading about 214 DVD copies of
