Among the obvious ways suppliers will hype their own firms is to talk about “6G” networks for which standards have not yet been set. So one hears that “ LG Electronics (LG) successfully demonstrated the transmission and reception of wireless 6G teraHertz (THz) data over 100 meters in an outdoor setting.
That test used frequencies in the 155 GHz to 175 GHz range. Some would say those frequencies are “sub-teraHertz,” not teraHertz, though some consider teraHertz frequencies to range from 100 GHz to 10 THz.
Perhaps most observers consider the millimeter wave spectrum to run between 30 GHz and 300 GHz.
The point is that it is hype that any transmission can be called “6G” at the moment. Apparently we now also disagree about what “teraHertz” means.
