A Japanese consortium unveils the world's first 6G device with impressive speeds. However, major infrastructure hurdles remain.
A Japanese consortium recently unveiled the world’s first high-speed 6G prototype device. It can transmit data at a whopping 100 gigabits per second , covering more than 300 feet. That’s a 20x improvement over the current 5G technology.
The consortium announced the successful test results on April 11th where the companies revealed that the prototype device can achieve speeds of 100 Gbps indoors using the 100 gigahertz band and outdoors using the 300 GHz band.While the speeds achieved are quite impressive, don’t already make your expectations high. 6G was tested in a single device and is not a commercially viable network. Plus, the network technology has the downside of its own.
One of the reasons for such low speeds is because of the higher frequency bands used by 5G. While higher frequencies can mean faster speeds, they also come with drawbacks. They limit the distance the signal can travel and reduce its penetration strength. For instance, even the tests were conducted at a distance of over 328 feet . So factors like walls and even rain can significantly disrupt 6G signals.
