500 times faster than 5G phones! The new 6G technology sets a record

5G has been the standard for networks for nearly five years, including here in Germany. But the next generation of fast Internet is already on the rise. Asia in particular seems to be the leader here, as the recent record proves.

One Technology demonstration It showed that an amazing speed of 100 Gbit/s can be achieved using a 6G transmission prototype. That's 10 times faster than 5G at its peak and 500 times faster than a regular 5G smartphone.

For comparison: one hour of uncompressed video at native 4K resolution takes about 45GB. Using the tested transmission, this clock will be processed in less than half a second. 100 hours of material can be transferred in less than a minute.

In other words: 6G promises much faster speeds. This will be useful in many different fields, including medical technology and businesses. Additionally, with 6G, it will likely be possible to keep more devices connected to the network at the same time. Network failures due to overload are becoming increasingly rare.

Additionally, powerful 6G technology can completely eliminate the need for further connections via Wi-Fi or cable. So a revolution in the use of the Internet?

6G will be around in 2030 at the earliest

As mentioned earlier, the device tested was just a prototype that is still under development. As a cooperation project between Japanese companies NTT, DOCOMO, NEC and Fujitsu, it used high-frequency bands in the 100 GHz and 300 GHz range, which are technically infeasible for private use. The range also leaves a lot to be desired, but at least it remained stable above 100 metres.

However, it is an interesting development that is slowly gaining momentum. According to experts, we could be fully equipped with 6G by 2030 and benefit from record transmission rates.
