LG Achieves Successful 6G Data Transmission

On September 7th, at the Fraunhofer HHI research institute in Berlin, Germany, LG conducted a test for data transmission using 6G technology with THz waves, specifically ranging from 155 to 175 GHz, covering a distance of 320 meters within a laboratory setting. In August 2021, LG also publicly tested their developing 6G telecommunications technology, successfully transmitting data outdoors at a distance of approximately 100 meters.

To overcome the challenges of extremely high-frequency Terahertz waves, known for poor penetration and susceptibility to obstacles, LG, in collaboration with the Fraunhofer HHI laboratory and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Physics, jointly developed a signal amplifier and a low-noise 6G wave-receiving receiver to enhance signal quality. The multi-channel amplifier used by LG during the recent test generated a signal intensity of over 20 dBm, a significant improvement from the 5 dBm amplifier used in August of the previous year.

Dr. Kim Byoung-hoon, the Technical Director and Vice President of LG Electronics, stated that the recent experiment brings us closer to achieving 6G telecommunications coverage at 1Tbps speeds in urban areas, both indoors and outdoors. 1Tbps is equivalent to approximately 125 GB/s.

The reason we don't mention the 1 Tbps figure is because LG did not disclose the data transmission speed in the Germany experiment. Instead, on September 23rd, LG will provide a comprehensive overview of the research results at the 6G Grand Summit, held at LG Science Park in Seoul, South Korea.

However, don't expect 6G to be introduced soon. In their press release, LG stated that discussions on standardizing the telecommunication configuration for 6G application are expected to begin in 2025, with commercialization anticipated by 2029. The promises of 'faster speed, lower latency' were made for both 4G and 5G, but 5G has yet to truly revolutionize the world as promised by manufacturers. Therefore, we will once again have to wait and see.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of LG’s 6G technology test in Germany?

LG’s 6G technology test in Germany demonstrated successful data transmission over a 320-meter distance using Terahertz waves. This marks a key step toward achieving 1Tbps data speeds in both indoor and outdoor urban areas.

What challenges did LG face with Terahertz waves during 6G testing?

Terahertz waves are known for poor penetration and high susceptibility to obstacles. LG overcame these challenges by developing a signal amplifier and low-noise receiver in collaboration with Fraunhofer HHI and Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Physics.

When is 6G expected to be standardized and commercialized?

LG expects discussions on standardizing 6G telecommunications to start in 2025, with full commercialization anticipated by 2029. This will include faster speeds and lower latency than previous generations.

How did LG improve signal quality in its latest 6G test?

LG enhanced signal quality by using a multi-channel amplifier that generated a signal intensity of over 20 dBm, significantly higher than the 5 dBm amplifier used in their earlier 2021 test.
