Lupakan 3G dan 4G, Terahertz 1.000 Kali Lebih Cepat

Petek said the team has discovered "a physical basis for terahertz bandwidth," which could potentially be used to leverage the "portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and microwave light" to transmit at rates several orders of magnitude faster than today's conventional wireless electronics with bandwidth limited to the gigahertz frequency. "The ability to modulate light with such a bandwidth could increase the amount of information carried by more than 1,000 times when compared to the volume carried with today's technologies," Petek said. "Needless to say, this has been a long-awaited discovery in the field."
