Ericsson Invests In 6G Network Research

Telecoms network operator Ericsson is to establish a new research unit in Britain as part of a multi-million-pound investment to boost the country’s future wireless connectivity capabilities. The 10 year programme will include research into Artificial Intelligence (AI), network resilience and security, cognitive networks and energy efficiency.

Ericsson will be investing millions of pounds into this 6G mobile research activity and will be working with universities on hardware security, AI and cognitive networks and quantum computing.

The Swedish company, which supplies 5G gear to all four British mobile networks, said the 10-year initiative would help to drive development of next-generation 6G networks, which are expected to be commercially available about 2030. 

It is anticipated that 6G will merge the digital and physical world, with new use cases including multi-sensory extended reality. 

The program will employ 20 dedicated researchers and support additional PhD students who will work alongside leading academics, CSPs and industry partners to lead 6G research projects that contribute to the development of global technology, network innovation and new product solutions.

Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Michelle Donelan, welcomes investment in technology and innovation in support of the UK’s vision to be a leader in the global development of 6G. “Ericsson's investment is a huge vote of confidence in the UK's innovative telecoms sector. This pioneering research unit will create new jobs, support students and bring together some of our country's finest minds to shape the future of telecoms infrastructure in the UK and across the globe... 

Ericsson's UK and Ireland CEO Katherine Ainley said that British universities are performing world-beating research in some of the technologies that would underpin next-generation networks. Possible partner universities include Surrey, Bristol and Manchester.

The British government, which has been working to protect funding for scientific research after Brexit, said Ericsson's investment was a "huge vote of confidence" in the country's telecoms sector, adding that it would soon publish a strategy on 6G technology.
