InterDigital Emphasizes Collaboration on 5G at Mobile World Congress
February 22 2018 - 8:30AM
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2018 – More than any other generation
of wireless, 5G is seeing research and input from a vast array of
companies, universities and research institutions. At Mobile World
Congress 2018 in Barcelona (February 26 – March 1, 2018), wireless
research and development company InterDigital (NASDAQ:IDCC) is
placing the emphasis on collaboration, with demo technologies and
solutions that are designed from the start to form the basis for
open research collaboration. Under the banner of “Creating the
Living Network.™ Together.” InterDigital is highlighting
technologies and research that underpin its network of more than
100 research collaborators across more than a dozen projects
worldwide.
“Obviously, there are some giant companies that are doing very
interesting things in advancing 5G, but, more than any other
generation of wireless, 5G provides an opportunity for smaller
companies, research institutions and universities to make their
mark, given the immensity and broad scope of the challenges and use
cases,” said Dr. Robert DiFazio, Vice President, InterDigital Labs.
“InterDigital understands the vital importance of collaboration
through various projects like Horizon 2020 in Europe, PAWR in the
U.S., and other important projects. We also understand that, to be
a valued contributor, our technologies and solutions have to
minimize proprietary approaches and instead provide as open and
flexible a platform as possible.”
The company’s presence at MWC 2018 showcases how the next
generation of wireless will be brought to life through an expansive
5G research community:
- 5G Testbeds: Industry testbeds are validating
5G technology and demonstrating interoperability among an ecosystem
of research collaborators. InterDigital will showcase two
platforms, EdgeLink™ 60Hz Platform and Flexible IP-based Services
Platform (FLIPS), that have been used in global field trials in
conjunction with projects that include 5G-Crosshaul, 5TONIC,
Bristol is Open, FLAME, PAWR, and 5G-Transformer, among
others.
- 5G Air Interface: The millimeter wave (mmWave)
air interface is one of the key new technologies being introduced
into 3GPP’s 5G NR standard. The company will show its contribution
to the Open Air Interface Alliance, fundamental concepts enabling
mmWave 5G integration with the existing LTE standard in
non-standalone mode.
- 5G Video Experience: As an active contributor
to the next generation video standard development, InterDigital
will demonstrate an end-to-end 360 video live streaming platform
with AR capabilities built on a series of state-of-the-art video
standards.
- 5G Networks: The major trend in 5G networks is
that of combining connectivity, computing and storage resources
into a rich fabric of networked elements, implementing
network-based as well as terminal-based software functions. The
company will showcase how its FLIPS platform, utilized in numerous
EU projects including RIFE, POINT and FLAME, takes advantage of
this trend by providing a software-based solution on top of
proliferating 5G technologies.
In addition to demonstrations, InterDigital will host
“Delivering the 5G Experience with Mobile Edge Services” and
“Research Directions for 5G and Beyond Testbeds,” two live panel
discussions featuring participants from Intel, Nokia, Martel, and
University Carlos III of Madrid, among others, on Wednesday,
February 28 at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. CET, respectively.
Attendees of Mobile World Congress can see the panel discussions
along with 5G and IoT demos at InterDigital’s pavilion in
Hall 7, Stand 7C61.
