On June 16, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced today that the company demonstrated a 6G terahertz (THz) wireless communication prototype in cooperation with the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).

At the recent IEEE International Communications Conference (ICC 2021) seminar on terahertz communications, researchers from Samsung Research Center, Samsung American Research Center, and University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) introduced the possible effects of terahertz communication. The potential impact of the next generation of 6G technology demonstrates an end-to-end 140GHz wireless link using a fully digital beamforming solution.

According to Samsung Electronics, this is a prototype system with a frequency of 140GHz and a bandwidth of 2Ghz. It has achieved a real-time throughput of 6.2Gbps over a distance of 15 meters and exhibits adaptive beam control capabilities at terahertz frequencies.

It is understood that in March this year, Samsung increased the 5G test speed to 5.23Gbps. The test speed of the 6G terahertz (THz) wireless communication prototype is higher than that of 5G, but the theoretical speed of 6G is as high as 1Tbps.
