Cutting through the noise — researchers may have cracked a key issue with developing next-gen 6G networks
- 6G development has received a boost from a new breakthrough
- Using reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, researchers found that electromagnetic waves can be manipulated
- The research has been conducted by engineers led from the University of Glasgow
Research engineers have established a potential solution to the one of the main problems faced in the development of 6G: electromagnetic interference, or EMI. Using reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (referred to as “RIS”), they have been able to control, divert, magnify, and generally manipulate signals, promoting 6G data and dampening EMI.
Intended to deliver networking speeds up to 100 times faster than 5G, development of 6G has encountered various stumbling blocks, not least the electromagnetic interference presented by almost every connected device in the world.
When it is finally rolled out, 6G is expected to revolutionize connectivity, from standard Wi-Fi connectivity to smart home and Internet of Things, and beyond.
