LG Electronics (LG) has reaffirmed its global leadership in mobile network technology, successfully testing the wireless transmission and reception of 6G terahertz (THz) data –at a frequency range of 155 to 175 GHz – over a distance of 320 meters outdoors.
The milestone, achieved on September 7 at the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) in Berlin, Germany, represents a significant step toward commercializing 6G THz in both indoor and outdoor urban areas since the reference cell coverage of base stations for urban macro cells is a distance of approximately 250 meters outdoors. It is also a major jump from August last year, when LG proved it could transfer 6G THz data over a distance of 100 meters outdoors.
