- Swedish scientists create new wireless test platform for 6G.
- This platform successfully operated 256 digital antennas simultaneously.
- This technology performs data transmission, signal control in real time.
- Fast networks are vital for future smart technologies.
6G: Where on one hand the 5G network is expanding. On the other hand, scientists have taken a big step towards 6G, leaving 5G behind. In fact, scientists at Sweden’s Lund University have prepared one of the world’s most advanced wireless testing platforms in which 256 digital antennas were successfully operated simultaneously in real-time. This discovery will help in making the 6G network faster and more advanced in the future.
How does the LuLIS system work?
According to the report, this system is made up of a total of 16 programmable panels and 16 antennas have been installed in each panel. In this way, there are a total of 256 antennas in the entire system. AMD’s special hardware has been used in it and its design has been kept modular. This means that if the need arises in the future, new panels and extra hardware can be easily connected to it.
How was this system prepared?
According to media reports, the team of Engineering Department (LTH) of Lund University has prepared a system named Lund University Large Intelligent Surface (LuLIS). The purpose of this system is to test the new wireless technology in real time and see how it is working.
According to the research team, despite being in different places, 256 antennas were successful in working as a network. The most special thing about this technology is that with its help, data transmission and signal control could be done simultaneously in real-time, which proves that this technology is not limited only to computer simulation but can work very effectively in the real world also.
Why is this technology needed?
For your information, let us tell you that the number of internet users around the world is continuously increasing rapidly. The whole world is digitally active today. In such a situation, in the coming times, technologies like self-driving cars, smart factories, smart cities and connected public services will require faster and stable networks. This new technology will help a lot in fulfilling this need.
However, it also faces a big challenge which is limited radio spectrum. The ever-increasing number of devices operating on the same frequency is putting more load on the network. In such a situation, scientists are busy in creating such technology which can use even less spectrum in a smarter way.
