Japan hits 6G key milestone with high-frequency speeds topping 100 Gbps
Researchers in Japan have achieved a significant milestone in 6G technology by developing a terahertz wireless communication system that can transmit data at speeds of 112 Gbps. This system utilizes miniaturized microcombs to overcome the limitations of conventional electronics at ultrahigh frequencies. The findings indicate a promising future for the rollout of 6G networks, with potential speeds reaching up to 1 terabit per second.
- ▪The new terahertz wireless communication system is 90 times smaller than conventional chips.
- ▪Researchers achieved data transfer speeds of 112 Gbps in the 560 GHz spectrum band.
- ▪This breakthrough could lead to practical 6G wireless systems and ultra-high-speed mobile backhaul.
