A 6G transmitter was created that achieved the fastest Internet resources ever recorded.
The new technology was created by four companies in Japan that present their best qualities to achieve the next generation of ultra-fast Internet.
The announcement of the new 6G advancement came in a Press release on April 11 and the four companies involved include DOCOMO, NTT, NEC and Fujitsu.
5G Internet operates from 6 to 40 GHz, while the new 6G test operates on much higher bands of 100 GHz and 300 GHz.
The 6G transmitter transferred data at 100 Gbps per second at 100 GHz indoors and 300 GHz outdoors at more than 328 feet, according to the release.
The highest generation of internet at the moment is 5G and is the current standard.
Using higher frequency bands allows for much faster internet speeds and is the blueprint for how to reach the next generation.
“High-capacity wireless communication is expected to be achieved by exploiting the abundant bandwidth available in the subterahertz band of 100 GHz to 300 GHz,” the statement said.
The 6G potential is 500 times faster than T-Mobile’s average 5G speeds in the US, according to Statist.
Its speed can also be compared to wirelessly transferring five HD movies per second, for Live Science.
Technology companies have suggested that 6G will enable innovative new ventures.
This includes ultra-high-quality video streaming, better control for self-driving cars, and faster communication.
Some other advancements we can expect include smoother operation for virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality experiences.
It could also support new technologies like holographic communication.
“In the 6G era, when wireless networks are anticipated to support diverse applications, from ultra-HD video streaming to real-time control in autonomous vehicles, as well as increasing communication demands,” the press release said.
WORKING WITH KINKS
However, the implementation of the new high-speed 6G will bring some complications.
Experts explained that it will be necessary to manufacture new completed devices that can handle the high frequency bands.
This is due to the big difference between what 5G devices are currently operating on and the high frequency band that 6G would need.
“However, compared to 28 GHz and other millimeter bands used in current 5G systems, the much higher frequencies of the subterahertz band will require entirely different wireless devices that are now being developed from scratch,” the press release said.
To be successful, this effort will have to overcome several important challenges, such as determining the specific performance requirements of wireless devices operating in the sub-terahertz band and then developing such devices.

The next step for the four technology companies is to continue solving the problems and utilizing each company’s strengths to make 6G a reality.
“In the future, the four companies will continue to carry out extensive research and development in subterahertz telecommunications,” the press release stated.
“Leverage the strengths of each company in various initiatives to contribute to 6G standardization.”
