New technologies for information connectivity of objects and territories

Strategic goal of this project is to gain a position in the integrated functional system of TOP-5 R&D + production clusters in the global NewRadio|6G market. LETI input is the development of new principles and structural components for NET-2030 networks of ultra-broadband high-speed communication, including cognitive, hybrid, adaptive reconfigurable, heterogeneous systems to meet the challenge of introducing new frequency ranges, and subTHz.

To deliver high-tech solutions to key infocommunication market sectors. Their cumulative average annual growth rate is planned together with the consortium members and industrial partners.

Objectives of the strategic project

• Research and development of devices to generate, receive and transmit signals, novel antenna solutions and methods for controlling electromagnetic field in the mm- and subTHz-bands for NET-2030 systems and networks.
• Construction of new radio access technologies (NewRadio | 6G) of NET-2030 networks based on the efficient signal-code structures and advanced multiple access methods.
• Search for new principles of construction and development of cognitive reconfigurable heterogeneous geolocation and navigation systems.
• Development of Internet of Everything (IoE) hardware and software systems for the NET-2030 network ecosystem.
• Ensuring safety and security of data transmission in NET-2030 networks, study of the electromagnetic compatibility of nodes and structural elements of megasensor networks.
