Innovation at its Peak: 5 Times Faster than 5G

According to sources, 5G will be in the markets by 2020 but now some researchers were able to build an integrated circuit-based transmitter which will be able to send data much faster than Fiber Optics and this will also beat 5G in terms of speed.


This technology was discussed on the event of “International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). A research paper was made for this purpose. The paper talks about a terahertz (THz) transmitter developed by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Panasonic Corporation, and Hiroshima University. This transmitter operates using a frequency range from 290 GHz to 315 GHz and is capable of transmitting digital data at a rate of 105 gigabits per second — which is a communication speed that’s at least 10 times as fast as 5G networks. The transmitter uses a frequency that falls within a currently unallocated range of 275 GHz to 450 GHz. Its use will be covered in the 2019 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) under the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Section (ITU-R).
Researchers accomplished the task to meet the speed levels with the help of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The speed exceeded 100gigabits per second. Which is simply unbelievable?
