Key features of the prototype include a cloud-based architecture capable of achieving up to 100 Gbps data throughput for container networks. The system processes data with an extremely short transmission time of 125 microseconds, improving data transmission speed. Additionally, the system supports response latency of less than 10 microseconds, allowing for flexibility and reconfiguration. It can handle eight data streams and 128 digital channels, with a single carrier bandwidth reaching 400 MHz, resulting in a real-time throughput of 16.5Gbps.
China Mobile’s 6G baseband prototype promotes interoperability, enabling seamless connection between cloud-based hardware and Vivo’s terminal prototype. This feature supports the transmission of advanced applications such as 3D video, which could define the future of 6G.

Integrates multiple bands to enhance adaptability
The system incorporates an integrated multi-band universal access module, allowing it to accommodate a variety of frequency bands and connect to baseband equipment via the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI). high speed. This adaptability enables testing and verification of 6G technologies across multiple frequency bands, including low and mid-frequency, millimeter wave and terahertz signals.
While commercial 6G networks are not expected until after 2030, advances like this prototype will establish an essential foundation in the race toward 6G connectivity.
