Apple is hiring engineers to work on next-generation 6G wireless technology. According to Bloomberg, the ads for the place describe positions at Apple's offices in Silicon Valley and San Diego. Apple in these units works on the development of wireless technology and chip design.
The coming years will be a milestone in wireless communication technologies. 5G is growing significantly, 6G technologies are emerging and investment in low-cost, high-performance satellite platforms for communications is flourishing.
Apple already works on 6G technology
Apple will be contracting for the development of 6G wireless technology.
You will have the unique and rewarding opportunity to create the next generation of wireless technology that will have a profound impact on future Apple products. In this role, you will be at the center of a cutting-edge research group responsible for creating the next generation of disruptive radio access technologies over the next decade.
Refers to Apple's job posting.
As noted, the people hired for the positions will "research and design the next generation (6G) wireless communication systems for radio access networks" and "participate in industrial / academic forums passionate about 6G technology".
"Making advances in North American leadership in mobile technology"
Apple only adopted the 5G connection on its iPhones last year. Thus, 6G is not expected to develop until about 2030, but job listings indicate that Apple is eager to get involved in the early stages of new technology development.
Late last year, Apple joined the Next G Alliance, an industry group created by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) that seeks to “advance the leadership of North American mobile technology in 6G and beyond, over the next decade. , while being based on the long-term evolution of 5G ”.
The Next G Alliance held its first member meeting in November to define the initiative's overall direction and strategy. Group members along with Charter, Cisco, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Keysight Technologies, LG, Mavenir, MITER, and VMware.
In September, AT&T said it already has engineers working on the next generation of 6G networks. Some analysts say the technology could allow speeds more than 100 times faster than 5G, but again, the technology is not expected to arrive over several years.
