Overview

• The new record was achieved by combining radio and optical technologies to transmit data over a frequency range of 5-150 GHz.
• This speed is a significant leap from the average 5G download speed, which is typically around 100 Mbps in the UK.
• The technology promises to revolutionize wireless communication, potentially enhancing Wi-Fi and mobile internet speeds significantly.
• The advancement could lead to faster and more reliable connections in densely populated areas and at large events.
• While currently demonstrated in a lab setting, the technology is expected to be ready for commercial testing within three to five years.
