World's first experimental 6G research environment is being built in Finland

Markus Allén and Joonas Säe study the properties of radio signals using a signal and spectrum analyzer. The wireless networks of the future will utilize very high frequencies, even over 100GHz, for data transmission, positioning and sensing the environment.

The research infrastructure for future wireless technologies “6G-FUWIRI”, which just received funding from the Academy of Finland, raises basic radio technology research in Finland to a new level - to very high sub-THz frequencies. The experimental environment and expert service will deepen the pioneering research on next-generation wireless systems launched by the Finnish 6G Flagship programme in 2018. The funding serves as a starting point for the joint development of far-sighted research and testing environments and, at the same time, strengthens collaboration between University of Oulu, Tampere University, Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.
