New study sends nearly 1TB of data per second over 6G network — 9000 times faster than 5G

A cell tower.

A new study out of the University College London managed to send wireless data over a 6G network at 938 gigabits per second, which would be more than 9,000 times the transfer speed of current 5G connections.

That amount of data is the equivalent of sending 500 emails in a second. As far as we know, that is the fastest transfer of multiplex data to date. Multiplex data combines multiple analog or digital streams into one signal.
