The Jio and University of Oulu collaborative effort will also aid in developing 6G-enabled products in consumer goods, automotive, and white goods space. It will also create novel personal smart device environments as well as experiences such as urban computing and autonomous traffic settings. Other key areas impacted by the Jio 6G research will include industrial machinery, defense, and efficient manufacturing.
“6G promises to build upon 5G capabilities to deeply integrate technology as a digital twin in our daily lives. Cutting-edge areas such as the internet of nano-things and pervasive AI have tremendous business potential. Early investments in 6G research and capabilities with the University of Oulu can complement Jio Lab’s capabilities in 5G and bring 6G to life,” says Aayush Bhatnagar, Senior Vice President of Jio Platforms.
Speaking of the technology itself, 6G is built on top of 5G and aims to bring cell-free MIMO, intelligent surfaces, and higher capacities through Terahertz frequencies along with faster speed and better connectivity. The network will co-exist with 5G and cover a broad range of consumer and enterprise use cases. Jio Starting 6G Research.
