Transmitting the contents of a conventional DVD in <10s by radio transmission is incredibly fast – and a new world record in wireless data transmission. With a data rate of 6 Gb/s over 37km, a collaborative project ACCESS (Advanced E Band Satellite Link Studies) with researchers from University of Stuttgart and Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF exceeded the state of the art by a factor of 10.

The team achieved the record data transmission on a stretch between Cologne and Wachtberg...
