It took a while for 5G technology to make its way to the public, and it has not taken over the world just yet. With that said, 6G technology has already made impressive progress. According to the latest, enormous strides were made by an institution in China where the lab succeeded in 100Gbps 6G wireless data transfer speeds. Scroll down to read more details on the subject.

6G could arrive by 2030 as China reaches 100Gbps wireless data transfer in 10GHz transmission bandwidth

The latest tests were conducted by the 25th Institute of the Secondary Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry. The breakthrough was achieved on a terahertz level which is classified as one of the most essential elements of the standard. If you are unfamiliar, terahertz or THz caters to a wider bandwidth which would translate to enhanced speeds and performance as far as wireless transmission is concerned.

Take note that 6G might take a while before it is publicly released. In terms of values, the test successfully completed 100Gbps wireless data transfer in 10GHz transmission bandwidth using the wireless backhaul technology. The technology is expected to deliver latency lower than optical fiber networks. Currently, users would prefer wired fiber cables over wireless transmission due to the lack of faster speeds. Using THz bands, 6G will easily be able to compete better against fiber networks. Ultimately, the concept of wired networks would be obsolete. However, it is too early to make assumptions as it requires a lot of time and funding for the technology to finally see daylight.

As for what we expect, 6G would finally open doors for 1Tbps data transfer speeds, but this alone would not be enough as current spectrums must be improved to support the standard. With that said, mobile communication frequency bands are also being updated to mmWave and higher THz frequency bands. As mentioned earlier, 5G is gradually picking up the speed to become the new standard. Until the standard is widely available, researchers would continue to test and enhance the technology for an experience that is easily accessible by the end user.

Currently, it is speculated that 6G will be available by the year 2030. Additionally, the United States is also competing against China to launch the technology. This is all there is to it, folks. We will share more details on the upcoming 6G standard as soon as further details are available. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
