In a world already saturated with satellite internet ventures, Northeastern University’s engineering team has embarked on an ambitious project to develop what they claim will be the world’s first sub-terahertz (sub-THz) wireless satellite network testbed. The project, scheduled for launch in 2027, aims to transform space-based communications. The Technical Core Professor Josep Jornet, who heads Northeastern’s electrical and computer engineering department, leads this NASA-supported initiative. “Those satellites will not just be serving a country, including the rural areas or the underpopulated areas, but they will effectively be covering anywhere in the world,” Jornet states. The project utilizes terahertz band (THz) … Continue reading Space Satellites Aim to Redefine 6G Speeds and Transform Global Connectivity by 2027
