Researchers have managed to obtain the highest data transfer rate ever recorded in the world
Osaka University and the Minoru Institute for Advanced Study have set a new world record for data transmission speeds by harnessing the power of photonics to accelerate wireless Internet, including mobile Internet, to unprecedented speeds. Their revolutionary development, based on the Mandelstam-Brillouin forced scattering laser, made it possible to achieve single-channel data transmission at a rate of 240 gigabits per second in the sub-terahertz range from 100 to 300 GHz.
With multi-level signal modulation technology, the research team aims to raise the bar to 1 terabit per second, promising an era of near-instantaneous connectivity that will transform global communication. The development is of particular importance for 6G networks, bringing us closer to a future where high speed and low latency will become the norm.
Tadao Nagatsuma, the project’s principal investigator, notes that the team managed to obtain the highest data rate ever recorded in the world using online digital signal processing.
This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize not only the mobile Internet, but also a wide range of technologies, from autonomous vehicles to the Internet of Things, opening up new opportunities for innovation and strengthening connectivity around the world.
