Five Fraunhofer Institutes are cooperating to conduct research activities on “6G” technology under the leadership of Fraunhofer IIS. With the project, called 6G Sentinel, the research institutes aim to develop key technologies for the future 6G mobile communications standard.
The focus of their work will be on terahertz technologies and solutions for flexible networks.
The institute noted that future 6G technology will bring about another stride forward in the performance capability of mobile communications as regards peak throughput, user data rate, reliability, latency, energy efficiency and positioning accuracy. Overall, this increase in performance with 6G will be accompanied by much higher connection density.
