The world has seen the introduction of the first-ever 6G prototype device. The new device claims to have incredibly fast internet speeds, which could reach up to 100 Gbps easily. The new technology is a significant leap forward from the current 5G technology, offering speeds that are said to be 20 times faster. The device is said to cover an area of 300 feet, making it a promising development for the future of internet connectivity.
Japanese Telecom Companies Behind Prototype Device
Japanese telecom giants named DOCOMO, NEC Corporation, NTT Corporation and Fujitsu have joined forces to create this groundbreaking 6G prototype device. The device further underwent successful testing on April 11, which was marked as a milestone in the development of 6G technology.
Superfast speeds indoors and outdoors
The prototype device has showcased remarkable speeds from both indoors and outdoors. It has further achieved a speed of 100 Gbps on the 100 GHz band indoors and has maintained the same speed on the 300 GHz band outdoors.
The testing was conducted within a distance of 328 feet (100 meters) from the receiver.
6G versus 5G: Comparison
Although 5G technology offers a speed of up to 10 Gbps, the real-world internet speed averages between 200 to 400 Mbps.
Also, 6G technology is said to have surpassed these speed bars significantly. It has reportedly utilized higher frequency bands, which enables faster data transmission but comes with limitations like reduced network coverage due to lower penetration range.
Challenges and prospects
Besides the promising speed, 6G technology has faced challenges like frequency limitations and environmental factors like walls and rain which might affect its performance. But, this is a must to mention that it has been an advancement in technology, as 6G holds the potential to revolutionize communication with features like real-time holographic communication and enhanced virtual experiences.
Future outlook
While 6G technology is still in its early stage of development this prototype device has been said to serve as a crucial step towards its commercialization. Researchers across the world will use it to gain insights and make improvements, which will pave the way for a future with faster and more efficient internet connectivity.
