📲 New record: 6G 500 times faster than average 5G

• Researchers in Japan have achieved data transfer speeds of 100 gigabits per second, which is up to 500 times faster than the average 5G speed.
• The new test used high-frequency wavelength bands to transmit data 100 meters.
• The technology is expected to enable new applications such as holographic communication and improved VR experiences.

New 6G record

In Japan, a consortium of companies has built the world's first wireless high-speed 6G device. It is capable of transferring data at speeds of 100 gigabits per second. In tests, the device was able to transmit data not only indoors but also outdoors over distances exceeding 100 meters.

While 5G is still at the forefront of wireless communication and is used by almost all new smartphones, researchers have already begun to build the next generation, 6G. This involves a transition to even higher frequency bands within the electromagnetic spectrum, providing significantly higher speeds. These higher frequency bands, between 100 GHz and 300 GHz, offer faster transfer speeds but also pose challenges such as increased interference from the environment.

Potential of 6G technology

The technology could revolutionize how we use mobile devices and the experience of virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR). The increased speeds could lead to new techniques such as holographic communication and much smoother VR experiences. However, this would require completely new infrastructure for transmitting and amplifying signals, and new antennas would be needed in smartphones and VR devices.
