6G & Terahertz Communication

Next-generation communication technologies including millimeter wave and satellite communications.
6G & Terahertz Communication

6G and terahertz communication represent the next generation of wireless technology, operating at frequencies above 100 GHz in the terahertz range to achieve data rates in the terabits per second. These systems use millimeter wave and sub-terahertz frequencies to provide ultra-high bandwidth, extremely low latency, and massive device connectivity. Unlike 5G which primarily uses frequencies below 100 GHz, 6G explores the largely untapped terahertz spectrum.

The technology enables applications requiring massive data throughput like real-time holographic communication, wireless data center interconnects, and ultra-high-definition immersive experiences. Terahertz signals have very short range and require line-of-sight, making them suitable for dense urban deployments and indoor applications. Satellite communications integrated with 6G provide global coverage, connecting remote areas and enabling seamless connectivity across terrestrial and space-based networks. The technology is still in early research phases but promises to transform how we communicate and interact with digital content.
