The government-backed Purple Mountain Laboratories said in a statement on January 5, 2022, that a research team had achieved a wireless transmission speed of 206.25 gigabits per second, a world record for real-time wireless transmission. The 6G speed recorded was about 10-20 times faster than current 5G technology in China. Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly said the speed achieved was 100 times faster than 5G, an increase some wireless technology experts say 6G could ultimately achieve.
