Engineers in China and the US have demonstrated a 6G chip that can provide internet speeds of over 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). That’s 10 times faster than [5G](https://www.sciencealert.com/5g)’s theoretical limit – and close to 500 times faster than its average speed.
Although 6G communications networks aren’t expected to start rolling out until the 2030s, the groundwork needs to be laid well in advance.
Do you think it’s realistic we’ll see 6G roll out within the next 5 years?

What’s the range on this wireless connection? 2 millimeters and is blocked by a piece of paper?

I still barely get reception on Tmobile anywhere local 🙁

Wouldn’t be surprised if it gets throttled in some way. No way providers would allow anyone those speed.

If 5G gives you COVID and makes the frogs gay, what calamity does 6G bring?

Gonna be honest, I barely understand the need for 5g mobile speeds. Don’t get me wrong if on the carrier side they support even more clients and manage the bandwidth better fine. It’s just I tend not to use a lot of data. In the house though sure, I sort of get that. But also besides massive game downloads I have no clue why I would need more download speed regularly.
Again I understand industrial uses are something else entirely.

With Verizon, 5G Ultra Wide, I just got 500Gbps down and 50Gbps up.

Meanwhile, I’m over here completely happy with the 200 mbps I get on 4G lol.

We’ve already seen a few prototypes hit these [kinds of speeds](https://www.sciencealert.com/new-6g-wireless-tech-is-500-times-faster-than-average-5g-smartphones), but not usually as efficiently as the new chip, which was developed by scientists at Peking University and the City University of Hong Kong in China and the University of California, Santa Barbara.
