The European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC) and the 6G Summit are returning after the challenging period of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s conference holds significant importance under the motto “6G for a Green and Digital Transition.” It will showcase visions and early technologies related to 6G, following the launch of several regional 6G initiatives. We are pleased to witness Europe’s prominent position in mobile communications research, exemplified by the Smart Networks and Services (SNS) joint undertaking. The emergence of multiple projects focusing on radical technological advancements for 6G is truly rewarding.

 

The 6G era will be driven by four crucial factors: trustworthy systems, sustainability, accelerated automation and digitalization, and limitless connectivity. With each generation of mobile communications technology, the focus has shifted beyond mere connectivity to prioritize the development of essential infrastructure, energy efficiency, and positive societal impact. Our goal is to design mobile communications technology and systems that prioritize the well-being of both humanity and the planet.

YTTEK is pleased received the invitation from Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to participate in EuCNC & 6G Summit, which will be held in Sweden from June 9 to June 11. YTTEK will launch the “Y.RIS” product, which utilizes exclusive LCD panel processes and technology. Combining YTTEK’s expertise in millimeter-wave system design for over a decade, we have developed a liquid crystal RIS that offers a wide adjustable range of 120 degrees while operating at low power consumption. The panel provides a minimum controllable resolution of 1 degree per step and is fully compatible and controlled by YTTEK’s “Y.FORCE” SDR series instrument. Paired with YTTEK’s globally first-released “Y.CUBE R” comprehensive RIS testing solution to measure the characteristic and performance of RIS, it provides a powerful tool to assist in formulating 6G specifications. Within the potential opportunity frequency bands of millimeter waves, the solution addresses techniques such as scene-based beamforming, interference and coexistence with cellular signals, and successfully completes prototype system testing and verification.

 

Stay tuned for more updates, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet you at these remarkable gatherings. We hope you enjoy the conference and your stay in Gothenburg. Let’s work together to shape the future of our connected world!
