1. How do 6G components and materials differ from their 5G equivalents?
 
Navneet: 6G technology will be considerably different from 5G. One key difference is the use of extremely high frequencies above 100 GHz, between 140 and 240 GHz, to provide the bandwidth needed to carry several gigabytes of data. In 5G, the frequencies used are in the 28/39 GHz range, and thanks to advances in packaging, manufacturing, and material measurement, it is much easier to develop, measure, and manufacture a highly efficient system. Since 6G components must operate at extremely high frequencies, they must be designed, processed, and packaged accordingly.
