Samsung Electronics plans to commercialize 6G, which is not yet standardized, by 2030
Samsung Research America (SRA), the research and development organization of Samsung Electronics, has partnered with Princeton University to shape the future of 6G wireless and networking systems.
SRA has become a founding member of Princeton University’s NextG Initiative Corporate Affiliates Program, whose primary purpose is to conduct 6G research and development.
In 2023, Princeton University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences established the NextG initiative to accelerate the adoption of new technologies such as cloud and edge networks, intelligent sensing, and network resiliency. Recently, the NextG Initiative launched an enterprise-related program that fosters collaboration between academia, industry leaders, and policy makers.
“The best academic research that helps realize the potential of future wireless networks comes from close interactions between faculty and industry technology leaders,” said Andrea Goldsmith, dean of Princeton’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. states. “Our NextG program is designed to foster the close collaboration on wireless technologies and policies needed to drive meaningful innovation and global leadership in a time of rapid change.”
Under the terms of the agreement, Samsung Research America, along with associated companies including Ericsson, Intel, MediaTek, Nokia Bell Labs, Qualcomm Technologies, and Vodafone, will work closely with Princeton University to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world applications. I will fill it up.
“The wireless industry has benefited tremendously from basic research over the past several decades,” said Charlie Chan, senior vice president of Samsung Research America. “We encourage Princeton researchers to continue to innovate and develop disruptive technologies that could lead to major breakthroughs in 6G.”
According to Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-young, future 6G communication technology is critical to the future of the South Korean technology giant.
South Korean media recently reported that the executive visited Samsung Research, the company’s global research and development (R&D) base in Seoul, and discussed next-generation trends and response strategies. The report emphasized the important role of Communication technologies including 6G.
“Our survival and future depend on securing new technologies such as 6G communications,” he was quoted as saying. “The procurement of new technology is essential to the survival and future of the company. The need for unwavering research, development and investment in new technology is critical, especially in difficult times,” added Mr Lee.
Samsung Electronics plans to commercialize 6G, which has not yet been standardized, by 2030.
In May 2019, Samsung established the Advanced Communications Research Center (ACRC) under Samsung Research to promote the development of next-generation communications technologies. In 2022, the company held its first 6G Forum.
Lee said the center is working hard to secure new technologies such as 6G networks, as development is critical to commercializing innovative products in AI, autonomous driving, and augmented reality in people’s daily lives. I asked him to take up the challenge.
With the publication of the 6G White Paper in July 2020 and the 6G Spectrum White Paper in May 2022, ACRC has established itself as a market leader in advancing the 6G environment. Samsung Research chairs both his 6G Framework Group of the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) and the Spectrum Group of the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), and is important in the global standardization of 6G technology. It plays a role.
