A consortium of telecommunications companies in Japan has created the world’s first device that supports the high-speed data transfer standard 6G. During tests of the equipment, scientists managed to achieve an Internet speed of 100 Gbit/s between the receiver and the transmitter at a distance of approximately 90 meters. In this respect reports LiveScience publication.
As Live Science notes, a speed of 100 Gbps is enough to transmit about five movies in HD resolution in one second. Additionally, publicly available data suggests that 100 Gbps is approximately 500 times faster than the average 5G connection speed on smartphones on the T-Mobile network in the United States.
The device was tested indoors and outdoors. In the first case, the 100 GHz band was used, and in the second, the 300 GHz band. Tests were carried out at an altitude of 100 m.
5G, launched in 2019, is the modern wireless communications standard and is used, for example, in almost all new smartphones. T-Mobile’s average speed in the US is approximately 204.9 Mbps, with a theoretical maximum 5G speed minimum of 10 Gbps. Scientists are already working to create 6G. However, the infrastructure is under development and will only be available in some countries in the early 2030s.
“The main differences between 5G and 6G are the frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum in which they operate. Operating at higher ranges generally means much higher speeds,” Live Science added.
