The New Team Will Concentrate on Creating Several Unique 6G Technologies

The new research endeavour will be headquartered in Staines-upon-Thames at the Samsung R&D Institute U.K. It will focus on new areas like communication networks, data intelligence, and on-device artificial intelligence; combined with the already well-established experience in Samsung’s speciality areas of visual development, security, IoT, and telecoms, it is at the vanguard of technology. Multiple positions at Samsung Research UK will be created as a result of the increased funding; applications are currently being accepted.

“We envision that 6G will provide ultimate experiences for humans and everything through the next level of hyper-connectivity, and this idea serves as the foundation of our 6G vision,” said Sebastian Seung, president and head of Samsung Research. “We believe that it is the right time to start preparing for 6G. Shaping 6G will require many years, as we have seen with previous generations, and will need lots of discussion and collaborations among players in industry and academia.”

“The preparation for 6G will be a long and sweaty journey. Considering the long history of collaboration in other areas, including 5G standardisation, I am very happy to have SRUK as a member of Samsung’s 6G R&D. We will work together to deliver the next hyper-connected experience to every corner of our customers’ lives in the 6G era,” said Sunghyun Choi, head of the advanced communications research centre at Samsung Research.
