6G A group of Japanese telecommunication firms built a super-fast 6G device that transmits data 20 times quicker than 5G. It can transmit data at 100 gigabits per second within a 330-feet range. This speed can transfer five HD movies every second wirelessly, which is up to 500 times faster than typical 5G speeds from T-Mobile in the U.S., according to Statista. In a recent announcement on April 11, the tests revealed that the consortium's wireless device successfully sent data at 100 Gbps indoors using the 100 GHz band and outdoors using the 300 GHz band, which is below the infrared spectrum. The tests covered a distance of 328 feet (100 meters), as stated by consortium representatives. Source: FB: Technology Innovation

"As we observe the trajectory of wireless technologies advancing from 4G to 5G and onward to the 6G space, several trends become evident. Bandwidths are expanding, frequencies are scaling to higher levels and the complexity of testing is escalating. With a multitude of band combinations to evaluate, catering to diverse global needs becomes a daunting task, compounded by the variability of spectrum availability across different countries. For instance, with each operator employing unique band combinations, ensuring the functionality of these configurations within networks poses a significant challenge." - Alexander Pabst, vice president, wireless communication, and Jayanth Ramachandran, director, wireless communication, Rohde & Schwarz To know more, visit: https://lnkd.in/gjz3ezX2 #Innovation #5G #6G #Technology #Telecommunications #WirelessCommunication #RohdeAndSchwarz #TestAndMeasurement #NTN #RedCap #ORAN #SubTHz #WiFi8 #AI #ML #MobileNetworks #FutureTech #EnergyEfficiency #IndiaTech #TelecomIndustry
