China Mobile and Qualcomm complete the world's first 6G prototype base station and terminal docking test.
According to Huxiu, China Mobile and Qualcomm have completed the world’s first docking test between a 6G prototype base station and a terminal prototype that conform to the 3GPP-defined U6G band, marking a shift from research to systematic validation. The event aligns with policy signals that aim to advance 6G development, with the first standard version expected to freeze around 2028 and commercialization around 2030.
