Researchers at University College London (UCL) have set a new world record in wireless data transmission, achieving speeds of 938 gigabits per second. This is an astonishing 5,000 times faster than current 5G networks. The breakthrough was made possible by combining radio and optical technologies, effectively addressing the issue of frequency congestion that hampers data speeds.
This groundbreaking development paves the way for ultra-fast 6G networks, which are expected to be available within the next decade. The technology promises to revolutionize WiFi and mobile internet, allowing for rapid downloads—such as a 4K Ultra HD film in just 0.12 seconds.
Additionally, the innovation ensures stable, high-speed connections in crowded locations, like concerts or sporting events, where current networks often struggle. This record-setting achievement marks a significant step toward the future of digital communication.
