Wireless data can now be sent very fast, much faster than current 5G speeds. This means you could download a lot of movies very quickly. This speed is a record for sending multiple signals at once.
At big events or busy places, phone networks can get very slow. This is because 5G networks use limited frequencies to operate. To make data transmission faster, scientists are using a wider range of frequencies, from 5 gigahertz to 150 gigahertz.
By using different technologies, they were able to send data at 938 Gb/s, much faster than current 5G speeds. This could help people use the internet faster or allow many people to watch videos at the same time.
This new way of sending data is like turning a narrow road into a big highway, allowing more cars (or data) to pass through. Researchers hope future smartphones and networks will use this technology.
