Researchers from UC Santa Barbara, Peking University, and City University of Hong Kong developed a 6G chip measuring just 11mm x 1.7mm that achieved speeds over 100 Gbps, ten times faster than 5G’s theoretical maximum and 500 times faster than average 5G speeds.
Published in Nature, the chip operates across microwave, millimeter wave, and terahertz bands spanning 0.5-115 GHz using thin-film lithium niobate photonic technology.
It converts radio signals to optical signals with real-time reconfigurability for enhanced reliability.
The ultrabroadband system supports full-link wireless communication across nine consecutive bands.
While promising revolutionary connectivity, 6G implementation remains targeted for 2030-2032, dependent on infrastructure development and production scalability challenges.
