Leila Saidane, News ReporterJune 23, 2023An international team led by UT researchers created a key component for the next generation of wireless communication — sixth-generation network applications — that will allow for faster and more energy-efficient communication.
‘The difference between 5G and 6G is their capability (of) high-speed operations or high-speed data transmission,’ said Myungsoo Kim, a former UT researcher and author of the recently published study.
The team developed a new radio frequency mechanism — called switches — which allows devices to connect between networks and receive data 16 to 20 times faster than when using 5G.
