InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, and the Institute for the
Wireless Internet of Things (WIOT) at Northeastern University,
today announce the first annual 6G Symposium to engage
leaders and decisionmakers dedicated to exploring 6G research. The
two-day virtual conference will be held from
October 20 – 21, 2020 and will feature keynote
speeches, a panel series, and VIP conversations around the
promise and path to 6G wireless technology. The 6G Symposium’s
agenda and registration details can be found at the 6G Symposium
website at https://www.6GSymposium.com/.
The 6G Symposium is organized by InterDigital and
the WIOT Institute at Northeastern University and will feature a
diverse group of individuals and organizations presenting on
and discussing the potential of, and policies driving, 6G
technology. The virtual conference will offer the opportunity
to hear panels and fireside chats with government and industry
decisionmakers, and feature keynote speeches from Dr. Thyaga
Nandagopal, the National Science Foundations’ Deputy Division
Director, and Dr. Mazin Gilbert, Vice President of Advanced
Technology at AT&T.
Current supporters and participants in the
symposium include Air Force Research Lab, Andro Computational
Solutions, AT&T, Cisco, DARPA, Draper Labs, Ericsson,
Facebook, Intelligent Automation, IEEE Future Networks Initiative,
Keysight, NI, Nokia-Bell Labs, NTT-DoCoMo, NVIDIA, Open Networking
Foundation, Parallel Wireless, Raytheon, Red Hat, Samsung, Small
Cell Forum, Skylark Wireless, US-Ignite, Verizon and Virginia
Diodes.
A first of its kind in America, the
symposium aims to increase public awareness,
excitement, and engagement around articulating a
strong vision for 6G. A curated agenda of keynote
speeches and panel discussions will explore the demand
and opportunities for 6G enabling
technologies like novel air interfaces, new network
architectures and “killer” applications, and offers a variety of
perspectives from the future developers, enablers, and disrupters
of 6G technology. Discussions will also emphasize
the strategic, technical, and regulatory barriers to
developing a 6G roadmap and the effort to
develop a community-agreed definition of key performance
indicators.
“A collaborative, yet competitive, ecosystem of
diverse innovation is crucial for driving future wireless
technologies like 6G. The goal of the symposium is to spark a
discussion that features key players in the space and begin the
process of defining a clear vision for 6G,” said
Doug Castor, Senior Director at InterDigital.
“After observing the evolution of 5G technology as
a national infrastructure priority, we decided that now was the
right time to develop a new 6G platform, which will be the focal
point for national and global information exchange among
technologists, policy makers and futurists,” added Tommaso Melodia,
Director of the WIOT Institute at Northeastern University.
The 6G Symposium Organizing Committee, led by
InterDigital and Northeastern University, will announce the agenda,
