LG is testing 6G, and in the terahertz range, it was possible to transmit data over 320 m

September 16, 2022SUNDRIES2 min read

LG demonstrated transmission and reception of 6G data in the terahertz wave range at a distance of 320 m outdoors. The record was set on September 7 at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Physics (Berlin) in the frequency range from 155 GHz to 175 GHz. The demonstration was a significant step up from LG’s last public test in August 2021, when 6G data transmission took place over a distance of 100m.

To overcome the limitations imposed by the short wavelength, LG and the Fraunhofer Institute jointly developed a power amplifier and a low-noise receiver to improve the quality of the input signal. The LG multichannel power amplifier used in the final test had an output power of over 20dBm, much higher than the 5dBm amplifier used in the previous demo.

Dr. Kim Ben Hoon, CTO and Executive Vice President of LG Electronics, said the demonstration brings researchers closer to realizing 6G speeds of 1 Tbit/s in cities and open areas.

So far, LG has not announced what speed it managed to achieve in testing. The company will reveal the full results of its tests and present an overview of the technology at the upcoming 6G Grand Summit on September 23 at the LG Science Park in Seoul.

Commercial implementation of 6G is still many years away. In its press release, LG said that discussion of the network standard will not begin until 2025. Commercialization of the technology is scheduled for 2029.

We cannot but quote here a comment from a reader of this news on TechSpot:

‘Stop. Just… STOP, please. We don’t need it yet. You can stream 4K video over 5G with a good signal. Could we instead get more battery life, simpler user interfaces and phones that are easy to redesign?”
