The quest for cutting-edge communications with high-octane network speeds is an area of research that continues to expand. The Research and Development units of major smartphone manufacturers continue to feel a certain Eldorado. Huawei and s few other companies have shown snippets of what could be achieved with 6G technology and the great opportunities waiting to be tapped.
Korea tech giant, LG has now added to the narrative by proposing to demonstrate the 6G technology during its participation in the 2021 Korea Science and Technology Exhibition from 22 to 24 December 2021. The company will showcase its strides in 6G wireless transmission and reception during the Exhibition held at Kintex, Ilsan. LG will unveil a power amplifier for 6G for the first time, in conjunction with the Fraunhofer Research Institute, Germany. LG has already tested the 6G power amplifier in Berlin back in August 2021. The company was able to successfully transmit and receive wireless data within a 100-meter direct distance outdoors using the 6G frequency band.
The power amplifier is meant to provide sufficient amplification of the transmission frequency for ultra-wideband wireless communication. The 6G terahertz frequency band will enable super high-speed data transmission rates not possible with current networks. The 6G network speed could reach 1 terabit per second. The company also demonstrated its adaptive beamforming technology for enhanced data quality, in partnership with Keysight Technologies.
The race for the commercial deployment of 6G technology is on and LG is targeting 2029 for the commercialization of its 6G technology. We’ll see whether LG will be pipped to the diadem by other companies.
