6G technology: Domestic Trio Working on Tomorrow’s Mobile Communications

Transmitting more and more data even faster than currently possible: that is the goal of a new antenna technology being developed in the Horizon2020 project REINDEER. © elements.envato.com By Christoph Pelzl - With an eye on future mobile communications standards, a European consortium is working on the next generation of antennas for wireless networks. Austria is clearly represented with NXP, Technikon and TU Graz. In Europe, all eyes are currently on the 5G roll-out - yet a European consortium consisting of leading companies and research institutions in the field of mobile communications and communications engineering is working on the technical feasibility of 6G. Austrian companies Technikon Forschungsund Planungsgesellschaft mbH (as coordinator) and NXP Semiconductors Austria as well as the Institute of Signal Processing and Speech Communication at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) are substantially involved. "The world is becoming more and more interconnected. More and more data has to be transmitted, received and processed by a growing number of wireless devices - data throughput is consistently on the rise.
