Low-Loss Materials: The Key Enablers for High-Speed Connectivity

Transmission losses become increasingly significant as communication systems move toward higher frequencies, making low-loss materials essential to preserve signal strength and integrity. These materials are critical for technologies such as 5G mmWave and future 6G telecommunications which is expected to see deployment around 2030, as well as for automotive radar systems for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Similarly, data center infrastructure is shifting toward ultra-high data rates exceeding 200Gbps amplifying the need for materials that can perform reliably and maintain signal integrity under such demanding conditions.
