Beijing, March 21 (SANA) A Chinese research team has developed a wireless communication technology capable of supporting networks from 2G to 6G simultaneously, according to state news agency Xinhua.
The system is designed to reduce the size of base stations and cut energy consumption by more than tenfold, while enabling support for advanced applications such as artificial intelligence and satellite communications.
Rapid growth in data demand has driven the evolution of mobile networks across multiple generations, but each typically requires dedicated hardware operating on specific frequencies, increasing infrastructure complexity.
Researchers from the School of Electronics at Peking University said they developed a unified hardware platform to bridge these gaps.
Unlike conventional systems, the platform uses optical technology, converting wireless signals into light-based channels to generate multiple stable and synchronized connections.
The team said the approach allows, for the first time, parallel support for all wireless generations within a single integrated system, potentially simplifying network infrastructure and improving efficiency.
