InterDigital Secures Milestone 5GPPP Project Win
March 24 2015 - 8:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC), a mobile research and development
company, today announced that through its subsidiary, InterDigital
Europe, it has secured a milestone 5G Infrastructure Public Private
Partnership (5GPPP) win, with the approval of Horizon 2020 funding
for project XHAUL.
XHAUL was proposed by a European Union 5GPPP industry-led
consortium that consists of twenty-one partners. The objective of
the project is to develop a 5G integrated backhaul and fronthaul
transport network to flexibly and dynamically interconnect the 5G
radio access and core network functions.
The project targets a 30 percent reduction in network total cost
of ownership, while improving network efficiency and helping in
achieving the very low latency that will characterize the 5G
networks of the future. XHAUL will validate and demonstrate its
technology innovations into a software-defined flexible and
reconfigurable 5G test-bed in Berlin, and will also conduct
mobility-related experiments using Taiwan's high-speed trains.
As a work package leader on XHAUL, InterDigital Europe will see
their contributions to this initiative funded over a two and a
half-year period. The project underscores the importance of
InterDigital's European research operations and aligns with
InterDigital Europe's mission to drive future technologies and
foster collaborations in this segment. InterDigital's leadership in
5G backhaul development was highlighted by its launch of EdgeHaul,
a millimeter-wave backhaul mesh technology, at Mobile World
Congress 2015 in Barcelona.
"InterDigital is thrilled to be a member of this exciting 5GPPP
project. Efficient backhaul and fronthaul solutions will be key in
the implementation of next generation systems," said Alan Carlton,
Vice President of InterDigital Europe. "InterDigital has
significant experience in this space as showcased by our EdgeHaul
product launch, and we look forward to bringing this expertise to
this collaborative initiative."
