Terahertz Waves Used to Send Wireless Data at 50Gb Per Second

Description

Researchers at the Brown University School of Engineering have utilized terahertz waves instead of microwaves to send data wirelessly at blistering speeds up to 50Gbps. The research team tested their terahertz network by streaming a pair of high-def videos. Clips were transmitted simultaneously over two different frequencies to simulate a real-world wireless networking scenario. Error-free transmission was doable up to 10Gbps. Even when they cranked the connections up to five times the speed, standard error-correcting tech was able to sort things out nicely. Brown University researchers could be paving the way for the next big thing in WiFi. Brown professor Daniel Mittleman notes that his team’s “approach could be viable in future terahertz wireless networks.”

Samsung Galaxy S8 Gets Incredibly Fast Wireless Speeds

If you think the Galaxy S8 is fast now, give it a few months. The headline change in Samsung's flagship phone, introduced this week in New York, is the massive display the company was able to cram into the device, thanks in part to the removal of the home button and much of the edges around the screen. But hidden inside is another feature -- one that won't get to fully shine for another few months. The phone is the first to use the Snapdragon 835, the newest and fastest processor from Qualcomm.
