Breakthrough Wireless Chipset Smashes Data Speed Records at 640 Gbps, 100 Times Faster Than 5G

 

The wireless chipset jointly developed by Tokyo Institute of Technology and Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology achieves a transmission speed of 640 Gbps, which is 100 times faster than 5G. This groundbreaking technology is expected to open a new horizon for next-generation communications technology.

Utilizing a 65 nm silicon architecture, the cost-effective chip can be mass-produced.The transceiver chip, with integrated circuits for both transmitting and receiving, features amplifiers and a frequency converter to maintain signal strength.

Demonstrated speeds reached 640 Gbps using 16 QAM modulation, promising advancements for automated cars, telemedicine, and virtual reality.

Currently, 5G technology boasts speeds of up to 10 Gbps, enabling ultra-high-speed data transmission and low-latency communication. However, the newly developed 640 Gbps wireless chipset goes beyond the limitations of 5G and provides a faster and more stable communication environment. This chipset will bring revolutionary changes, especially in fields that require real-time transmission of large amounts of data.

Tokyo Institute of Technology and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology combined the latest semiconductor technology and high-frequency wireless communication technology to develop this chipset. As a result, we were able to dramatically improve data transmission speed by utilizing a much higher frequency band than existing wireless communication technologies. These technological advances will open up new possibilities in various fields such as self-driving cars, smart cities, and remote medicine.

If this chipset is put to practical use, it will be able to dramatically improve the current infrastructure in situations where large-scale data transmission is required. For example, it will bring major changes in 8K video streaming, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications, and the industrial Internet of Things (IoT).

Tokyo Institute of Technology and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology plan to continue research and development to further develop this technology. This is expected to be an opportunity to change the paradigm of communication technology worldwide.
