Comms tech and services provider Ericsson has established a research unit as part of a multi-million-pound investment to boost the country’s future wireless connectivity capabilities.
In all, Ericsson has committed to investing tens of millions of pounds over the next 10 years in a UK-based program focused on 6G research and breakthrough innovations. The company 6G merges the digital and physical world, contributing to an intelligent, sustainable, and efficient society, and helping to deliver a new use case that includes multi-sensory extended reality, precision healthcare, smart agriculture, collaborative robot, and intelligent autonomous system.
These are all thought by Ericsson to be key construction blocks of the world’s future digital infrastructure for society, industries, and consumers. Ericsson has been uniting the UK for more than 120 years, and this new investment underlines our ongoing commitment to ensure the country stays a global leader in the technologies and industries of the future, said Katherine Ainley, Ericsson UK & Ireland CEO.
Our vision is connected, safer, and the sustainable world share by the UK government, look forward to working together with network operators, industries, and academia to develop international standards that move us ever close to achieving seamless global connectivity and truly groundbreaking innovation.
The research program will employ 20 dedicated researchers and support additional Ph.D. students working alongside leading academics, CSPs, and industry partners to lead 6G research tasks that donate to the international development of technology, network innovation, and new product services. Study areas will have network resilience and security, artificial intelligence, cognitive networks, and energy efficiency.
Ericsson is at the vanguard of international research, innovation, and developing open standards that will underpin a lot of unlimited connectivity and new technologies, said Magnus Frodigh, vice president and head of Ericsson Research.
Establishing a research program in the UK means the country is positioned utilized to exist a high international level of knowledge in wireless systems and technology to produce groundbreaking 6G research that can help shape the future of global standards and deliver a connected, efficient, and sustainable society.
Ericsson is to invest tens of millions of pounds development of 6G in the UK over the next decade.
The investment in research areas includes network resilience and security, artificial intelligence, cognitive networks, and energy efficiency.
The company has confirmed it will employ 20 dedicated research, part of the 6G mobile research, and work to support additional Ph.D. students who will work alongside leading academics, CSP, and industry partners to lead 6G research projects.
6G is not expected to become available until the 2030s, but the race is already on for mobile vendors to develop the next-generation technology.
Ericsson has been connecting the UK for more than 120 years new investment underlines our ongoing commitment to ensure the country remains a global leader in the technologies and industries of the future, said Katherine Ainley, CEO of Ericsson UK & Ireland.
Our vision connected a safe, sustainable world shared by the UK government looks forward to working together with network operators, industries, and academia to develop international standards that move us ever closer to achieving seamless global connectivity and truly groundbreaking innovation.
Meanwhile, the government of the UK called the investment a huge vote of confidence in the UK’s innovative telecoms sector.
Ericsson currently invests 18.1 percent of its global annual turnover in R&D, company boasts 21 R&D bases across Europe, including Finland, Germany, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Sweden.
Ericsson is putting up a 6G-focused investigation unit in the United Kingdom as part of a 10-year, multi-million-dollar buy into that country’s wireless technology future, which has been gaining significant attention.
The Swedish vendor said it employs 20 dedicated researchers and supports additional doctoral students to work on the project. Their work will focus on network resilience, security, artificial intelligence, cognitive networks, and energy efficiency.
Ericsson is at the vanguard of international research, innovation, and developing open standards that will underpin a future of limitless connectivity and new technologies, Magnu Frodigh and head of Ericsson Research, said in a report. Establish a study schedule in the UK. country, position utilizes its existing high global level knowledge in wireless systems and technologies to produce ground-break 6G research that not can help shape the future of global standards but deliver a more connected, efficient, and sustainable society.
The activity could be necessary for Ericsson, which has so far been quiet on pushing 6G initiatives. The vendor has been a leading player in the 5G space, but it continues to struggle with cloud and virtualization innovation that analysts note is key to 6G technologies.
Ericsson CFO Carl Mellander vendor multiple currents making calls acknowledged that Ericsson has underperformed in this area for a long time and is not happy at this level.
We need to fix this. It should be a profitable company. With our call position and the technology we deliver, this has all the possibility to be profits, Mellander said.
