6G Shatters Speed Records: Experimental Network Achieves Nearly 5,000x Faster Speeds Than 5G

Hold onto your hats, speed demons! Researchers from University College London (UCL) have achieved a mind-blowing breakthrough in wireless technology, demonstrating a 6G network capable of speeds nearly 5,000 times faster than current 5G networks. Blazing a Trail to the Future: In their experiment, the UCL team achieved a staggering data transmission speed of 938 gigabits per second (Gbps) . To put that in perspective, current real-world 5G networks typically deliver average speeds of around 200 megabits per second (Mbps). That's a speed increase of almost 5,000 times! The Secret Sauce: The researchers accomplished this feat by using a 145GHz bandwidth with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology. They cleverly combined two pairs of narrowband lasers, locking their frequencies to a shared quartz oscillator. This setup resulted in highly stable W-band and D-band signals with significantly reduced phase noise compared to freely operating lasers. Beyond Just Speed: This…
