September 23 2019 - 4:30PM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, today announced its membership in
Finland’s 6GFlagship Research Program led by the University of
Oulu. InterDigital joined 6GFlagship as a Co-Creator to drive
exploratory research projects on the future evolution of 5G.
The 6GFlagship program pursues scientific
breakthroughs in the development of fundamental technology
components for beyond-5G systems in the areas of wireless
connectivity, devices and circuit technology, services and
applications, and distributed computing. As a Co-Creator within the
6GFlagship ecosystem, InterDigital will help drive the program’s
agenda and research themes and propose new projects to explore
emerging wireless technologies that will impact the long-term
evolution roadmap of 5G.
As part of the program, the members have
committed to contribute research in three key areas. In the area of
Beyond-5G fundamental research, InterDigital and University of Oulu
will explore the impact of metamaterials-based intelligent surfaces
on disruptive smart radio protocols beyond 5G. InterDigital will
also explore experimental Beyond-5G research to build upon
InterDigital’s 5G NR access platform capabilities with the other
consortium members. Lastly, InterDigital will assist the consortium
with efforts to implement initiatives related to the implementation
and promotion of the consortium research programs.
“Our membership in the 6GFlagship program
naturally builds upon our long-standing commitment to advanced
research in 5G and beyond,” said Alain Mourad, Director of
Engineering at InterDigital Europe. “InterDigital is excited to
explore the opportunities, technologies, and use cases that will
shape our wireless future, and do so alongside respected academic
and industry leaders.”
“6GFlagship is a large collaborative effort to
advance high-impact research on fundamental enablers for the next
generation. We are excited to join forces with InterDigital,
sharing a vision and strong tradition of looking far and beyond to
technologies with future global impact,” said Dr. Jaakko Sauvola,
Professor, Leader of 6GFlagship Ecosystem, University of Oulu.
“We’re excited to explore fundamental
technologies from 5G towards 6G with InterDigital to drive the
world’s first 6G multi-disciplinary research initiative with broad
support in both industry and academia,” said Matti Latva-aho
Academy Professor, Director of the 6GFlagship Program at the Centre
for Wireless Communications (CWC), University of Oulu.
The 6GFlagship research program supports the
development of radically new wireless enabled solutions throughout
the digital ecosystem through close contribution and collaboration
between experts across industries. The program commenced in May
2018 and will continue until June 2026.
