The private mobile company has demonstrated the mobile communication technology "6G Terahertz" prototype, which will be 50 times faster than the 5G technology.
Mobile data transfer speeds in 5G technology range from 40 Mbps (megabits per second) to 1,100 Mbps, while the average speed can be around 200 Mbps. Compared to 6G technology. So data transfer speeds start at 1,101 Mbps and go up to one terabit per second (one million Mbps) in upcoming 6G technology.
In addition, 6G mobile communication uses radio waves belonging to the terahertz spectrum, with frequencies ranging from 100 GHz to 10 terahertz. This demonstration of a 6G terahertz wireless technology prototype uses a 140 GHz digital wireless link.
Data was transferred at a speed of 6.2 gigabits per second (6200 Mbps). That is, at this speed, as much data as a normal DVD can be transferred in just one to two seconds.
The company says that the data transfer speed of 6G technology will be up to 50 times faster than 5G, while its average speed will be 10 times faster than 5G. The current prototype incorporates the miniature hardware that will form the basis of 6G mobile communication technology globally by 2030.
Scientists from Japan and Australia have jointly researched 6G. A multiplexer chip is developed for communication. It is made from pure silicon.

"Multiplexer" is of special importance in data communication. Because it facilitates high-speed data transfer by dividing signals very quickly and combining them systematically.
According to experts, this prototype of the next generation multiplexer is in the terahertz range of the 300 GHz band.
Due to this quality, this multiplexer is also very short, which will play an important role in making 6G and the next generations of data communication a reality. The chip utilizes an "optical trunking" process to ensure high-speed data transfer.
This four-channel multiplexer has an intuitive layout and can transport data at up to 48 gigabits per second. For intensive video streaming and other heavy and complex tasks, the loudness is enough.
