Faster than 5G Data Speed Is Incoming Very Soon, Thanks to Terahertz
Transmission Band
Terahertz Transmitter Sends Wireless Data 10 Times Faster Than 5G, Will Boost In-Flight Internet
Japanese researchers have successfully gone
past 5G data speeds to reach terahertz (THz) data transmission speeds that are
10 times faster than 5G -- which is undergoing trials right now.
Where 4G LTE speeds peak out at 50 Mbps in most parts of the world, including
in India, 5G data speeds have easily reached over 3 Gbps to 50 Gbps in trials
conducted around the world before it launches globally in 2020. In fact, last
year some trials in Japan actually saw 5G researchers blast past 100 Gbps
wireless data transfer speeds. But this terahertz technology allows researchers
to unlock a whole new level of data transmission speed at scale.
The research group developed a transmitter
that achieves 105 gigabits per second throughput between 290 GHz to 315 GHz
frequency range. Japanese researchers from Hiroshima University spoke very
enthusiastically about this new breakthrough, according to research scheduled
to be presented at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)
2017 being held from February 5-9 in San Francisco, California.
Super Fast Data Speeds Not Just A Dream Anymore
"We usually talk about wireless data
rates in megabits per second or gigabits per second. But we are now approaching
terabits per second using a plain simple single communication channel,"
said Minoru Fujishima, Professor at Hiroshima University, who’s one of the
researchers working on terahertz transmitters.

Just like 3G, 4G and 5G -- which operates in
distinctive radio frequency bands to achieve enhanced transmission speeds -- so
does terahertz band, which is expected to be used for future ultrahigh-speed
wireless communications.
Not just on terrestrial networks, terahertz
transmitters could seriously revolutionize how high-capacity, high-bitrate data
transfer is achieved between base stations and satellites in earth’s orbit,
which could significantly boost in-flight network connection speeds, for
example. Streaming video and music services enabling super-fast download from
content provider’s servers onto millions of mobile devices is also a not so
distant dream.
