This Technology Promises to Play a Crucial Role in Future 6G Internet Networks, Designed to Automatically Correct Possible Failures

The full implementation of 5G internet in Brazil is still underway, but the country is already preparing for the future with the development of 6G technology. Ericsson, a renowned Swedish multinational in the telecommunications sector, has taken a significant step by patenting a revolutionary self-healing solution for telecommunications antennas, called “self-healing.” This technology promises to play a crucial role in future 6G internet networks.

The Potential of Self-Healing Technology in the 6G Era

In an official statement, Ericsson revealed that self-healing technology will be part of Radio Stripes, an innovative solution still in development. The idea behind Radio Stripes is to connect up to thousands of flexible micro antennas via adhesive tape. The goal is to employ this technology in environments with high population density, such as transportation (buses, trains, planes), soccer stadiums, and concert halls.

Self-healing is designed to automatically correct possible failures in the tape or micro antennas that could compromise the quality of mobile service. This automatic repair capability is essential to ensure that users enjoy a stable and reliable connection in busy and demanding environments.

Connectivity in 6G: High Speed, Greater Connectivity and Capacity for Simultaneous Connections

Ericsson emphasizes that the implementation of future 6G internet networks will be even more challenging than that of 5G internet. The sixth generation of mobile internet networks will use higher frequencies, which will require the installation of more infrastructure equipment to extend signal range. Here, self-healing technology plays a crucial role.

The greater the number of antennas connected to the tape, the greater the connectivity and the capacity for high-speed simultaneous connections. However, this increase in complexity also brings challenges, as damage to the tape or a micro antenna could impair the connection. This is where the self-healing patent comes into play.

Ericsson explains that if a part of the tape is broken or a micro antenna is damaged, users close to the affected area could lose total or partial internet signal on their electronic devices. However, self-healing proactively works to automatically connect affected users to other parts of the tape that are functioning properly. This helps to compensate for the degradation caused by such failures and ensures that connectivity is maintained.

The expectation is that this innovative technology will be available around 2030, the same period when the activation of 6G internet networks is expected to begin. With self-healing, Brazil positions itself as a significant participant at the forefront of telecommunications technology, contributing to the building of a more connected and resilient future.

Connectivity in 6G: High Speed, Greater Connectivity and Capacity for Simultaneous Connections

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.

At a depth of 914 meters, a team accidentally discovers a pirate ship with cannons, a telescope, and objects from three continents on the seabed, uncovering a mystery that has haunted Europe for centuries.

Brazilian producers are leaving Roraima to plant in Guyana, where the government offers land on concession and does not charge taxes, while in Brazil the harvest faces high interest rates and a bureaucracy that hinders even the use of the rivers.

Instead of digging new holes, scientists dive into an abandoned acid mine lake in Montana and discover that the toxic water has already done the work of extracting rare earths from the rock on its own.
