THZ TECHNOLOGY
Wireless Transmission at up to 60-Gb/s in the 400-GHz Range
Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark, with colleagues from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University, moved frontiers of optoelectronic transmission past the 300 GHz range by demonstrating scalable data transmission of Nyquist quadrature phase-shift keying signals at 60 gigabits per second in the 400-gigahertz band.
4G Finns Set Speed Record for 4G Download
Elisa, a Finnish carrier, announced that it had reached 1.9 gigabits per second, using 4G technology from Huawei. The company hopes to offer customers a data package with 1 Gb/s download speeds within “a few years.”
