The Chinese team from Southeast University in Nanjing City of southeast China’s Jiangsu Province was awarded the gold medal in the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva 2022 for its research project on 6G communications.

Held on March 16-20, the exhibition in Geneva is one of the most important annual events on inventions in the world. About 800 invention projects from 25 countries and regions took part in this year’s event.

After strict selection, the team led by Professor You Xiaohu from Southeast University stood out with the work “Towards 6G: Real-time 100/200 GbE Fiber-THz-Fiber Seamless Integration Communication System Enabled by Photonics.”

According to Southeast University, the project has combined the dual advantages of high bandwidth and large capacity of optical fiber communication and portable and flexible access of terahertz wireless communication, which can significantly lower the threshold of 6G R&D and accelerate the commercialization of terahertz technology.

The research work has received support from the National Key R&D Project and Peng Cheng Laboratory and was mainly completed by professors and doctors from Southeast University, Fudan University, and Purple Mountain Laboratories.

Founded in 1902, Southeast University is best known for its facility and research in electronics, information technology, and communication engineering.
