Chinese scientists have made a huge step forward with 6G technology

Say goodbye to that 5G, folks.

A research team has made an enormous stride in developing 6G technology.

The South China Post reports the team of scientists from the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Second Institute has been able to use terahertz waves to generate ultra-high-speed next-generation communication.

Terahertz waves improve wireless communication, enabling applications like high-definition virtual reality.

Just think, holographs can become much more accessible in the future...imagine what birthday cards will be like, people.

Terahertz refers to communication in the frequency range of 100 GHz and 10 THz of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The higher the frequency range, the faster data can be transferred and more information can be received.

According to The South China Morning Post, researchers used a special antenna for which they were able to achieve real-time wireless transmission at a speed of 100 gigabits per second.

“In the future, this technology can also be applied to short-range broadband transmission fields, supporting high-speed communication between lunar and Mars landers, spacecraft and within spacecraft themselves,” the report said.

The new 6G mobile transmission technology is reported to be 10 to 20 times faster than the existing 5G services.

While 5G is still being rolled out in other parts of the world, we can expect a huge increase in data with 6G that can be transferred rapidly with 'virtually zero latency' as well as improvements in imaging and wireless intelligence.

The report came just days after the Biden administration announced they would meet with government officials, business leaders and academic experts to look at the next steps of building out 6G to re-establish the US as a telecom leader ahead of China.

“It’s imperative that we start to look at these issues early,” a security official for the Biden administration said during a press call last week, as per CNN.

The White House added that it wanted to take 'the lessons learned from 5G about the importance of early involvement and resilience' and apply that to developing a 6G network that 'optimises performance, accessibility, and security'.

But it looks like China is en route to win that bid.
