Infrared waves operate in frequencies between 300 GHz to 400 THz with wavelength ranging between 1 mm to 770 mm. The initial 6G networks are proposing a THz frequencies for smooth operation, fast speed and ultra-low latency. Explain why Infrared frequencies are not the option for 6G networks with detailed technical reasons to support your answer
As already alluded to in the question, Infrared frequencies cannot serve as a suitable framework or backbone for 6G. Here are some of the reasons why:
Explanation:
Transmission using infrared is very low bandwidth relative to other LAN technologies.
Unlike other radiofrequency waves, its transmission can be blocked by matter
e the maximum transfer rate of infrared is about 115 kilobytes per second. In an age where 12 Mbs/s is no longer sufficient to drive the technologies being invented, infrared stands no chance at all. In countries like Taiwan, the average speed of internet is 85Mb/s
Infrared cannot go through objects such as walls etc
