New wireless technology reaches record 1 Tbps data transmission speed

Posted by in categories: futurism, internet

Forward-looking: By combining different wireless techniques, UK researchers achieved record-breaking data transmission speeds. The technology achieved 1 Tbps in lab experiments. Now, it only needs to prove itself in commercially viable applications.

A University College London (UCL) team achieved a nearly one terabit per second data transfer speed over a wireless connection. The world record feat opens the doors to future improvements to high-speed wireless. The researchers used a wide range of frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum, achieving data rates thousands of times faster than typical UK download speeds over 5G networks.

The recently published study describes an ultra-wideband transmission over the air that combines electronic and photonic-assisted signal generation to send 938 Gbps over a 5-150GHz frequency range. The researchers point out that traditional wireless networks use radio frequencies operating below 6GHz, providing an average speed of 100 Megabits per second over 5G.
