Ofcom is seeking advice on how to maximize the long-term value of the phantom Terahertz (THz), outrageously high frequencies that could provide enormous bandwidth for future applications and enable 6G networks.
The terahertz band is in the upper part of the phantom between one hundred GHz and three THz and is currently only used for limited scientific applications, such as weather forecasting.
However, the enormous capacity of the phantom, as well as advances in technology, means that it could be exploited for mobile networks in the future, leaving speeds of terabit. The terahertz ghost is also going to be attractive to 6G networks.

Ofcom thinks Terahertz will let terabit-speed networks power applications such as robotics, autonomous cars, holograms, and general mobile broadband services. He adds that he is now beginning his work to ensure that the advantages of the ghost can be achieved as soon as the market requires.
"To help take advantage of the Terahertz limit, we intend to make sure our approach to ghost management is as flexible and efficient as possible, both to let existing services grow to support new ones. Renovators," he said, asking to individuals and organizations to share their views.
“The unique properties and capabilities of new technologies mean that the rules and approaches to phantom clearance that apply to lower frequencies need not dictate how we approach terahertz phantom clearance and use. Greater cooperation and collaboration between the different genres of emerging ghost users in these bands is going to be essential to reinforce an alternative approach. "
6G development is still in its early stages and it is not yet clear which network technologies will form a business standard and which use cases will sprout. However, there is an agreement that the addition of built-in intelligence and a new phantom will give higher speeds, capacity and latency.
It is argued that these quirks will overcome current technological constraints, such as the limited processing power of mobile devices, to enable truly immersive extended reality (XR) applications, high-loyalty mobile holograms, and digital twins.
