7G or the 7th Generation of cellular networks is a hypothetical future standard and technology for wireless communication. It could replace 6G which is still in the early stages of development. An exact timeline of when 7G will emerge is disputed, with estimates from 2035[1] to 2045[2].
Capabilities
[edit]It is expected to have almost no latency. AI may also be used to solve to find networking solutions.[3] Additionally, it is expected to be able to transport large amounts of data over longer distances, and to different places.[4]
New technologies akin to the cell phone with 3G or AI with 5G are expected. This could include advancements in the health, education, and even safety fields.[5] With AI teachers being possible by its roll-out, the impact of this technology within higher education could be significant.

Roll out
[edit]The roll-out of the 7th Generation Network will happen in a few separate parts:[6]
The first part is the defining phase. In this part, the connecting power, capabilities, latency, and other characteristics needed for it to be considered said generation are determined. This stage usually happens several years, sometimes even decades, before its roll-out. It is currently happening for 6G. It will most likely happen to 7G around the late 2020s, if not the early 2030s.
The second stage to the development stage, where the tech is developed. Plans for where it will cover are made, and the hardware and structures required are built. For 5G, it happened in the late 2010s, so it is most likely to happen for 7G in the early 2030s.
The final stage is the roll-out stage, where the tech is commercially available. Most times it is first available in some select areas, before being available to other places. Typically, Japan, Korea, and North America, followed by Europe, Asia, Latin America, Australia, and Africa. This might happen around from 2035 to 2037.
