Researchers from China’s Peking University and City University of Hong Kong have developed the first in the world “all-frequency” 6G chip that utilizes spectrum from 0.5GHz to 115GHz and reaching speeds of 100 Gbps enough to download multiple movies in less than one second.

This development is significant in connecting the unconnected in rural and crowded conditions.

Ultra-Fast 6G Technology: China’s All-Frequency Chip

What’s the Innovation?

Chinese researchers have created a unique chip that utilizes the entire wireless spectrum from 0.5 GHz to 115 GHz, combining low, mid, and high-frequency bands into one chip.

Lightning-Fast download

With 100 Gbps speeds, the chip can transfer a 10GB movie in under one second, or hundreds of times faster than average rural broadband speeds.

Small but mighty

The chip measures only 11mm × 1.7mm but is capable of doing the job of many radio systems, making it space-efficient and service-efficient.

Smart Frequency Switching

The chip can automatically sense interference, and switch frequencies, similar to a smart driver finding it necessary to change lanes to avoid delays.

Photonic-Electronic Combination

Researchers converted the wireless signal into an optical signal, used photonic components and tunable lasers for ultra-wide transmission. Frequency tuning takes just 180 microseconds.

Real-World Applications

Closing the Digital Divide

The chip produces fast internet in remote places with much better coverage. This would enable remote internet to be equally as good or potentially better than legacy solutions.

Dealing with High Density

When you are in a stadium or concert or other type of event with high density of users, the chip identifies clear channels to use reducing congestion and providing better experiences.

Advanced Use Cases

There are so many use cases enabled such as: Virtual Reality, Remote Surgery, Drone Control, AI Networks, IoT devices, and Satellite Internet. This can open up a whole new world of innovation.

Coming to Your Devices

The research team is making small USB sized modules to the chip. These will plug into smart phones, drones, IoT devices, and base stations.

Why This Matters

This 6th generation chip could change connectivity by creating:

• Super High-Speed Data transfer
• All Frequency use
• Smart Channel Switching
• Small Form Factor
• Enabling advanced real-time applications
