A new record has been broken in research on mobile communication technologies focused on 6G. Chinese scientists claimed to have achieved a speed of 100Gbps in 6G wireless transmission. Considering that 5G has an average speed of 20Gbps, this is a remarkable figure.
6G wireless data transfer speed reached 100Gbps
A Chinese research institution, No. 25 Institute, claimed to have opened a new door in wireless 6G technology. According to the statement, scientists tested wireless data transmission at a speed of 100 gigabits per second in real-time.
Chinese researchers said that the transmission was done wirelessly, reducing reliance on fiber-optic networks. This means that 6G technology can be used wirelessly faster and more efficiently in the future.
Fiber optic networks used in daily life face various problems as wireless technologies become more powerful. The step by the No. 25 Institute involves advanced antennas and multi-modulations (a communication technology method) to maximize bandwidth.
This study doubled the available frequency ranges compared to 2021. Potential applications of 6G include short-range broadband, high-speed data sharing between spacecraft, and enabling new spacecraft discoveries.
Internet speed
Accessible 6G is likely at least 10 years away. However, increasing wireless data transmission speed will reduce demand for fiber-optic networks.
