Probably been mentioned already, Mitsubishi is already testing 6G wireless that supposedly will have the same speed as the NBN (1 gig).
Cant say I heard Mitsubishi 6G. I know samsung made a 5G, which they claim can get 1gb/s. Except it only works over 2 km, is line of sight only (Great if you live in a city), does not work in the rain!!, wont be available till 2020 and requires a precision engineered 64 array antenna that cost thousands to make.....

Make that "millions". The technology exists. An active phased-array radar with a few thousand antenna elements can in theory beam-form such a tight beam that each subscriber can use be targeted with the full spectrum at once in the downlink, with lots of MIMO, and without any interference towards other subscribers. The future base stations will look a bit like battleship superstructures, but things are already heading that way, with all the new multi-port antennas and tower-mounted RRHs being installed.
BTW, Samsung didn't make 5G. They are just throwing around marketing keywords. ITU-R hasn't released the minimum 5G requirements yet.
