Beijing (Urdu Point / Pakistan Point News / WAM – March 21, 2026) A Chinese The research team has pioneered new wireless communications technology Which simultaneously supports ranging networks from 2G to 6G. It enables miniaturization of the base station, reduces power consumption by more than tenfold, and provides hardware support for pioneering applications such as embodied intelligence and satellite communications, according to a study recently published in the journal Nature Photonics.
The ever-increasing demands on data communications have accelerated the rapid development and migration of networks from 2G to 6G. However, each generation of networking requires dedicated, frequency-specific hardware, a stacking approach that burdens the infrastructure with severe hardware redundancy.
Researchers from Peking University school The electronics company proposed a unified hardware platform to break down barriers between network generations. In contrast to traditional solutions, the new platform uses light as a medium, modulating radio signals on optical modules to generate huge numbers of wireless channels stably and simultaneously.
With this pioneering platform, the team has achieved worldFirst parallel support for everyone Wireless communications generations from 2G to 6G, on a highly integrated device.
“Networks from 2G to 6G is equally different Vehicles Using separate lanes. Now we’ve consolidated the lanes, so everyone Vehicles He can He travels on same roadZhang Lin, a researcher, said from Electronics school.
Based on this technologyThe team also developed an integrated microwave communications and sensing system. Experiments showed that this system achieves overall information transfer speeds 30 times faster than traditional methods in sixth generation network communications.
This is new, the researchers said technology It is expected to lead to massive connectivity for Internet All in all, dramatically reducing network latency, bridging the gap between computing power and peripherals. It can also provide essential hardware support for latency-sensitive applications such as artificial intelligence agents, embodied intelligence, and satellite communications.
