Detailed explanation-1: -Data speeds 10 times faster than 5G achieved by terahertz transmitter. Tokyo: Scientists have developed a next generation system which can transmit digital data over 10 times faster than 5G mobile networks, an advance that will pave the way for faster downloads and improve in-flight network connection speeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -6G (sixth-generation wireless) is the successor to 5G cellular technology. 6G networks will be able to use higher frequencies than 5G networks and provide substantially higher capacity and much lower latency.

Detailed explanation-3: -Terahertz (unit), a unit of frequency, defined as one trillion (1012) cycles per second or 1012 hertz.

Detailed explanation-4: -Terahertz (THz) transmission is a complementary wireless technology for communication networks, which allow high-speed wireless extension of the optical fibers for Beyond 5G.

Detailed explanation-5: -Indoor wireless communications with THz may pro-vide multiple data channels with gigabit per second or greater capacity. The data bandwidth would exceed wireless protocols such as IEEE 802.11b, and the propa-gation distance, though limited, would be competitive with line-of-sight IR.
