A recent experiment set a new distance record in the terahertz range.
LG announced successful wireless transmission and reception of data over 6G in the Terahertz (THz) band at a distance of 500 meters. This is the longest gap recorded in any 6G test conducted outdoors in an urban area. Testing was conducted by the LG U+ division at the LG Sciencepark in Magok Station, Seoul, South Korea.
This breakthrough follows the company's successful test in 2022, when data was transmitted and received over the same communication channel, but at a distance of 320 meters at the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute in Berlin. During that experiment, key devices for transmitting and receiving 6G were developed.
The latest test at LG Sciencepark is particularly important. The company not only increased the data transmission distance to 500 meters, which is standard for many urban base stations, but also tested the applicability of 6G in various real-world scenarios.
The evolution from 5G to 6G will significantly increase data transfer speeds, reduce latency, and provide a combination of communication and artificial intelligence technologies. 6G will be key to a number of LG's future directions, including autonomous driving, the metaverse, and smart homes.
Discussions on standardization of the 6G network are expected to begin around 2025, with commercial implementation scheduled for 2029. LG's investment in research and development, strategic partnerships, and successful technology demonstrations indicate the company's willingness and determination to lead the global transition to 6G.
In October, the company will talk about its key achievements in the development of 6G technologies at the "LG 6G Tech Festa".
"We will continue to collaborate with research institutes and technology companies and conduct our own cutting — edge research and development to dominate the 6G standard technology and strengthen our technological leadership in this important area," said Dr. Kim Byung-hoon, CTO and Executive Vice President of LG Electronics.
