Japanese businesses are creating 6G devices with 100Gbps speeds.

The wireless data transfer speed of 100 gigabits per second, 500 times faster than the average speed of current 5G handsets, was attained by a 6G technology demonstration in Japan. Between 100 and 300 GHz, the data was transmitted 328 feet.

Fujitsu, NEC, DOCOMO, and NTT all carried out the research. In preparation for 6G, the four companies have been working together since 2021 to perform research and development on sub-terahertz technologies.

Ultra-HD video streaming and real-time control in autonomous vehicles are just two examples of the variety of applications that 6G wireless networks are expected to serve, along with the growing need for communication.

Using "the abundant bandwidth available in the sub-terahertz band from 100 GHz to 300 GHz," the firms stated in a press statement, high-capacity wireless communication is anticipated to be accomplished.

Sub-terahertz band will require substantially higher frequencies than other millimeter bands utilized in 5G, such as 28 GHz, hence new wireless devices will need to be created from the ground up to accommodate them.

"To be successful, this effort will need to overcome several key challenges, such as determining the specific performance requirements of wireless devices operating in the sub-terahertz band, and then actually developing such devices."

According to the four businesses, they will keep up their intensive R&D into sub-terahertz telecommunications.

In addition to meeting growing communication demands, 6G wireless networks are expected to serve a wide range of applications, from real-time control in driverless vehicles to streaming ultra-HD movies.
