In a one-of-a-kind development in the realm of internet technology, Chinese scientists have created the world’s first “all-frequency” 6G chip.
The high-end chip can function across the entire wireless spectrum, delivering internet speeds above 100 gigabits per second (Gbps).
The remarkable milestone in mobile technology was originally reported in the journal Nature. This breakthrough is believed to monumentally improve connectivity in both urban and rural areas.
As many remote regions continue to struggle with poor internet access to date, this new chip has the potential to bring the wild imagination of downloading a 50GB 8K movie in mere seconds to reality.
Such an enormous speed is anticipated to open doors to online education and healthcare services, allowing people in isolated communities to access resources that are usually available only in cities.
As of now, connectivity relies on various frequency bands, with 5G operating around 3 GHz and satellites using about 30 GHz.
As emerging technologies like holographic surgery need up to 100 GHz, China's new 6G chip comes to address this challenge by working across all frequency ranges, meaning there will be no need for separate solutions.
Laying the groundwork for future wireless communication tech and led by experts from Peking University and the City University of Hong Kong, this research could revolutionise global communication, underlining China’s growing influence in next-generation technology.
The benefits are vast: students in rural areas can stream lessons seamlessly, farmers can monitor crops in real time, and doctors can perform remote surgeries. But, building the necessary infrastructure will require hefty investments and collaboration among governments and telecom companies.
