Multiple Project Wins Highlight InterDigital 5G Leadership
May 14 2015 - 4:00AM
With today's announcement of InterDigital Europe's selection to
drive the groundbreaking European Commission 5G socioeconomic
study, InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC) now totals four major 5G
research project wins this year. The announcements place
InterDigital among a handful of companies and research institutions
that have secured multiple 5G milestone project wins this year, and
place the company among the leaders in core wireless innovation for
5G – a position that InterDigital has now occupied for multiple
generations of wireless.
As announced separately, London-based InterDigital Europe has
been contracted by the European Commission to conduct a
socioeconomic research project to inform the development and
rollout of 5G in the European Union. InterDigital will work
alongside experts from Real Wireless, Rethink Wireless, Tech4i2 and
Trinity College, Dublin to gain an understanding of the economic
and societal impact of 5G and the necessary infrastructure
requirements. This includes possible innovative applications for
health, transport, social services and commercial
opportunities.
InterDigital is also involved in three projects underway, which
are funded by Horizon 2020, the €80 billion European research and
innovation program. These include:
- XHAUL: A milestone win for 5G Infrastructure
Public Private Partnership (5GPPP), XHAUL aims to develop a 5G
integrated backhaul and fronthaul transport network to flexibly and
dynamically interconnect the 5G radio access and core network
functions. Ultimately, this will help achieve the very low latency
that will characterize the 5G networks of the future.
- POINT (iP Over
IcN the betTer
IP): Based on the hypotheses that many current IP-based
applications can run 'better' on an ICN-based network than on
current IP networks, Project Point aims to develop information
centric networking technology (ICN) in commercially viable
ways.
- RIFE (aRchitecture for
an Internet For
Everybody): Project RIFE will increase the
efficiency of underlying transport networks to solve the societal
challenge of delivering Internet access to those who cannot afford
it. This will be achieved by harnessing unused transmission
capacity, combined with placing content caches and service
functionality closer to the user.
"InterDigital's heritage of core wireless innovation, which is
now carried forward by our team of almost 200 engineers worldwide,
is highlighted by these significant 5G project wins. Our company
has now been at the forefront of multiple generations of core
wireless R&D, from 2G, 2.5G, 3G and 4G/LTE and LTE-A, to now
5G. Those 5G efforts have also led to an expansion of our footprint
to include Europe and South Korea. We'll continue to work to expand
our presence and deliver technologies and solutions that benefit
the entire industry, as well as the enterprises and consumers who
benefit from those capabilities," said William J. Merritt,
President and CEO of InterDigital.
