Samsung Electronics, KT Hit Record 6G Speeds in 7GHz Band

Samsung Electronics, Korean carrier KT and test‑equipment firm Keysight reported a record 3 Gbps downlink in the 7 GHz band, a core frequency earmarked for 6G. The speed was achieved using a prototype base station with massive MIMO architecture that transmitted eight data streams simultaneously. The test demonstrated that X‑MIMO can deliver coverage comparable to today’s 5G networks despite the higher frequency’s range constraints. Samsung says the breakthrough will underpin 6G services for data‑intensive applications such as AI and extended reality.
