The U.S President Donald Trump has called on American companies to become leaders around the world in “5G and even 6G” technology in a series of tweets. Trump tweeted on Thursday morning, “I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster, and smarter than the current standard. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. He added, “There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on something that is so obviously the future. I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. We must always be the leader in everything we do, especially when it comes to the very exciting world of technology”!

Berner added, “Finland is the perfect environment for 5G trials because our pro-trialing legislation and flexible regulation encourages trialing of new technologies and innovations. The ecosystem has already almost seventy different member entities that include for example cities, ports, aviation, and research centers”. Network World has indicated that the 6G technology will not available until at least 2030. A professor at the University of Oulu in Finland, Ari Pouttu said, “6G will emerge around 2030 to satisfy the expectation not met with 5G and it will eventually offer terabits per second”. 6G Technology is still in the very beginning stages of research and development. The Academy of Finland has reportedly dedicated $290 million towards a new program called “6Genesis”. It will conduct development move towards 6G capabilities.
