Electrical engineers unveil 'beyond 5G' wireless transceiver
A team of electrical engineers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) tackled the question of whether wireless systems are capable of the same high performance and speeds achieved with fiber-optic networks. The result is a 4.4 mm2wireless silicon chip that boosts radio frequencies into the 100 GHz range, four times the speed of the 5G wireless communications standard. For this reason, the team describes the chip as "beyond 5G."
