Scientists in China have introduced the world’s first “all-frequency” 6G chip, capable of enabling mobile internet speeds exceeding 100 Gbps. The chip was developed in collaboration with researchers from Peking University and the City University of Hong Kong.
Features of the New Chip
One of the standout features of the chip is its ability to operate dynamically across a very wide frequency range, from 0.5 GHz to 115 GHz, seamlessly switching between frequencies to maintain a stable and high-quality connection.
The advantages of such a wide frequency band include:
- High Frequencies: Provide high throughput and ultra-low latency needed for demanding applications such as virtual reality and telemedicine.
- Lower Frequencies: Ensure wider coverage, which is critical for delivering reliable service to remote areas.
Performance and Future Prospects
In experimental trials, the 6G chip sustained stable connections across the entire frequency range. During testing, it achieved a data transmission speed of over 100 Gbps on a single channel and could automatically switch to a free channel to avoid interference, thanks to its embedded “frequency navigation” feature.
The chip currently measures 11 × 1.7 mm, and the research team’s next goal is to develop USB flash drive–sized plug-in communication modules based on this device. Such an advancement could significantly accelerate the development of flexible and intelligent 6G networks. With the improving trade relations between India and China, it’s possible that both the nations might share their new technological advances in the future, ensuring that both nations share their 6G chip architecture.
