India’s 6G Future Gets a Speed Boost: IIT Madras Hits 6.39 Gbps
India s journey towards G has received an exciting push with researchers at IIT Madras successfully demonstrating an indigenous wireless data transmission speed of Gbps on the Bharat G THz Testbed To put that figure into perspective Gbps means gigabits per second a measure of how quickly data can travel through a network One gigabit represents one billion bits of data The achievement highlights India s growing capabilities in advanced wireless communication and its push to develop homegrown technologies for the G era The Technology Behind the SpeedThe breakthrough uses Terahertz THz wireless frequencies an area being explored globally as a key technology for future G networks THz communication operates at extremely high frequencies broadly between GHz and THz occupying the spectrum between millimetre-wave communication and infrared frequencies Why does that matter Higher-frequency bands can offer access to enormous amounts of previously underused spectrum This could create wider data channels
