LG asserts that it "has reaffirmed its global leadership in mobile network technology" (which, as it now no longer makes smartphones, is just slightly ironic) with its latest breakthrough achieved as a result of the 6G project it has established at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics (IAF) as well as the HHI in Berlin.

The partners in next-gen mobile-data research and development claims to have completed its latest successful test of what they call "6G THz" data, sent and received at a 155-175 gigahertz (GHz) frequency range, moreover (whereas commercial 5G bands tend to top out at ~41GHz).

Therefore, LG and the Fraunhofer HHI are confident these results can help bring 6G closer to commercialization than ever before, particularly as they involve a new maximum distance of 320 meters (m, or about 1,050 feet), compared to the Institute's previous record of 100m (328 feet) from August 2021.

Dr. Kim Byoung-hoon, an executive vice-president at LG Electronics, thus touts the new milestone as "one step closer to realizing 6G speeds of 1 terabit per second (Tb/s) in both indoor and outdoor urban areas”.

On the other hand, the test required a custom multi-channel power amplifier with an output of more than 20 decibel-milliwatts (dBm), leaving one to wonder at the resources that might become necessary to upgrade or convert infrastructure to a one-day 6G standard. Then again, that is not projected to start happening until 2029 at the earliest.
