A blueprint for the data 'highway' of tomorrow’s mobile traffic
The fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) is a new wireless standard that is spreading its wings around the globe to connect virtually any person and object in an Internet of Things. Increasing bandwidth or accessible frequencies on which information is carried will be necessary to keep all that traffic flowing smoothly and reliably. Making use of so-called millimetre wave bands from 30 to 300 gigahertz is an important area of policy discussion. However, envisioning an exponential increase in data traffic, many heads are already preparing for even higher and broader terahertz frequencies. The EU-funded 5G-ACE project is developing new network models for mobile connectivity beyond 5G, leveraging engineering tools and practical experimentation.
