Japan Unveils 6G Device Which Is 20 Times Faster Than 5G (image@Pixabay)Japan introduces world’s first 6G devices. It is developed by a consortium of telecommunications companies of the country and can transmit data 20 times faster than 5G. Reportedly, the user can download ultra-high definition movies within seconds. 6G devices are capable of achieving data transmission rates of 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) and can operate within a range of up to 330 feet (100 meters).
The companies collaborated in creating 6G devices are DOCOMO, NTT Corporation, and Fujitsu. The companies have been researching and developing sub-terahertz devices together, anticipating the arrival of 6G technology era. As per the statement revealed by the companies, the tests successfully reached ultra-high-speed 100 Gbps transmissions in the 100 GHz and 300 GHz bands at a distances of up to 100 meters, media reports.
Most of the new smartphones are 5G-equipped and the average internet speeds range from 200 megabits per second (Mbps) in US. Theoretically, the advancements in the 5G can pump up its speeds to a maximum of 10 Gbps, which would still be ten times slower than the speeds achieved by the 6G devices, which are at its nascent stages.
Reportedly, the 6G project faced several significant hurdles that the developers must overcome, including the puzzling out what precise performance standards should the wireless devices operating in the sub-terahertz bands must be able to fulfill before developing the gadgets.
It is to note that to set up this new bands, new infrastructures are required and it will take a while before the 6G can be available for the public use. However, once set up, it could pave paths for more revolutionary technological developments like mixed realities and enhanced virtual realities.
According to experts, the potential for seamless high-speed connectivity in the future technologies are unlimited. Capabilities like ultra-HD video streaming, real-time control in autonomous vehicles and more.
