6G • Spectrum
Super-Contiguous Channel
Extreme 10 GHz to 30 GHz Single Channel Bandwidths
Continuous, non-fragmented spectrum allocations spanning tens of gigahertz within a single carrier for terabit-per-second pipeline transfers.
Technical Explanation
In 4G and 5G, spectrum was fragmented into narrow channels (20 MHz to 100 MHz, or 400 MHz in mmWave). In Sub-THz bands (100-300 GHz), spectrum is abundant, allowing regulators to allocate super-contiguous channels spanning 10 GHz to 30 GHz in a single continuous block. This eliminates carrier aggregation overhead and enables single transceivers to transmit 1 Terabit per second with minimal baseband complexity.
Key Functions
- Continuous single-carrier bandwidth allocations exceeding 10-30 GHz
- Eliminating carrier aggregation scheduling overhead and multi-carrier cross-talk
- Raw physical layer throughput exceeding 100 Gbps up to 1 Terabit per second
- Massive single-pulse radar resolution down to sub-millimeter scales in ISAC mode
- Enabling ultra-fast data dumping for data centers, satellite downlinks, and XR kiosks
