A consortium of Japanese companies has tested the first high-speed wireless device designed for the 6G mobile network. As part of the conducted experiments, it was possible to transfer data at a speed of 100 Gbit per second over a distance of 90 meters. This is a speed 10 times higher than the maximum speed of the 5G mobile network. 5 movies in HD format can be transferred in 1 second at a speed of 100 Gbit per second. According to the German company Statista, this is 500 times faster than the average speed of the US operator T-Mobile’s 5G networks.
The results of the experiments conducted by the Japanese companies showed that the wireless 6G device provided a speed of 100 Gbps using the 100 GHz band indoors and the 300 GHz band outdoors. According to the information, the tests of the mentioned device were carried out at a height of 100 meters. It should be noted that the commercial use of the 5G network was launched in 2019.
This network standard is currently the most current network standard and it is supported by many smartphones today. The average speed of 5G connection in the 5G networks of the US operator T-Mobile is 204.9 Mbit per second. Theoretically, the maximum speed of 5G can reach 10 Gbit per second. Although 5G network coverage in some countries is not ideal, experts are already working on the next generation network standard. The infrastructure for 6G is still in development and its commercial use is expected for the next decade.
