Scientists in China Introduce World's First "All-Frequency" 6G Chip
Recently, scientists in China have introduced the world's first "all-frequency" 6G chip, which is capable of enabling mobile internet speeds in excess of 100 Gbps. This chip was developed in collaboration with researchers from Peking University and the City University of Hong Kong.
Features of the 6G Chip
The central innovation of the chip is its ability to operate dynamically in a very wide frequency range from 0.5 GHz to 115 GHz, thus switching seamlessly from one frequency to another to maintain a stable and high-quality connection. Advantages of such a wide frequency band are:
- High Frequencies: Supply the required high throughput and ultra-low latency needed for demanding applications such as virtual reality and telemedicine.
- Lower Frequencies: Give larger coverage, which is critical for providing reliable service to remote areas.
Performance and Future Prospects
In the experimental evaluations put on trial, the 6G chip sustained stable connections over the entire frequency range. It attained data transmission speeds of over 100 Gbps on a single channel and could then automatically switch to a free channel to avoid any interference, owing to its embedded "frequency navigation" feature.
The chip, which is of 11x1.7 mm size currently, the research team aims to next demonstrate USB flash disk-sized plug-in communication modules. Such an advancement may significantly fast-track the development of flexible and intelligent 6G networks.
