6G Mobile Communication System6G systems will have integration of 5G along with satellite network. Following are the satellite systems developed in different countries:
• GPS (by USA)
• COMPASS (by China)
• Galileo (by EU)
• GLONASS (by Russia)
It supports local vocie coverage and other features.7G Mobile Communication SystemThe 7G network will be same as 6G. In addition 7G defines satellite functionalities in wireless mobile communication. This will provide many features and take care of all the drawbacks of previous generation of mobile wireless communication systems. The major factor here will be cost of phone call and other services. It provides seamless movement of mobile phone from one country to the other. This will be major benefits for frequent international travellers.
