High-definition video transmitted over 1.2 kilometres using superconducting receiver
New terahertz wireless transmission tech has broken a world record
Researchers streamed high-definition video over 1.2 kilometers
The record breaking test shows promise for the future of wireless comms
A research team led by the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has successfully conducted the first-ever kilometer-level terahertz wireless communication transmission.
Carried out at the submillimeter wave astronomical observation base of Xueshan Pasture in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, the test used superconducting receiving technology to transmit high-definition video signals over a distance of 1.2 kilometres.
This marks a significant breakthrough in the field of future communications technology, setting a world record for the longest-distance terahertz transmission above the 0.
