Beyond 5G: Terranova project to develop prototype of 300GHz multichannel wireless system

By Matthew Peach

Pictured, left: Low cost, small form-factor E/O baseband interfaces and RF frontends are one of the most critical challenges of THz wireless links for Beyond 5G networks. The fusion with fibre optic infrastructure is the most promising path to a commercial solution offering up to a 100x higher data rates than 5G will do. Networked […]
