French IT services firm Capgemini has announced the launch of a 6G research lab in Gurugram, India.
In a release, the company explained that the new lab will build advanced test beds and simulators to explore use cases for next generation wireless networks, 6G ideation and the creation of energy saving solutions.
“The 6G lab will enable us to prototype, simulate and test solutions, leveraging next-generation connectivity and silicon technologies along with advanced AI to address the wireless communication challenges presented by 6G,” said Shamik Mishra, chief technology and innovation officer at Capgemini. “We will also contribute to harmonizing efforts for 6G technology across the industry. An ecosystem for collaboration and knowledge sharing among enterprises and academia will be key to realize numerous opportunities and applications for the future.”
Capgemini also noted that the new facility will use high-performance compute infrastructure to construct advanced simulation environments to develop and verify novel network frameworks that meet the demands of future 6G systems.
The lab will also create comprehensive simulations to analyze the performance of emerging 6G capabilities. This will include mesh networks, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) and non-terrestrial networks designed specifically for 6G.
Capgemini’s lab will also utilize advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to solve wireless communication challenges presented by 6G, which has yet to be standardized and is in the early research and development phase.
