Next Generation Communications

Overview

The communication technology provides the infrastructure needed to enable people and things (i.e., devices, places, etc.) to connect and interact with one another across physical and virtual spaces. It is the foundation of a smarter age in which AI and robots will become a common part of our daily lives. The communication technology will continue to evolve fast to connect people with machines and things through more and faster exchange of information.

Today, 5G technology is being applied to the core infrastructure of various industries, and is used to support everything from high-quality communication services to smart factories, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and a raft of other new services. In addition, ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, which can safely and accurately measure distances, is emerging as a next-generation connectivity technology that connects various devices and provides location-based services.

The communication technology, which is the foundation of the future society, is evolving to prepare for the future ahead of any other technologies. In response to the rapidly changing generational change of mobile communication technology every 10 years, major countries around the globe have already launched 6G research and introduced it into fierce leadership competition.

Samsung Research will continue to focus on advanced communication research to strengthen 5G competitiveness, prepare core technologies for the 6G era 10 years later, and lead global standards based on them.

Our Vision

Our vision is to combine the expertise in communication technology with Samsung Research's software and AI capabilities to strengthen 5G businesses and create new business opportunities in the 6G era by shaping the future communication technology.

In order to strengthen 5G business competitiveness, we are currently researching advanced technologies that overcome technical limitations by combining software capabilities and AI technologies. We are also developing location-based services through UWB technology development and standardization.
In addition, we will develop core technologies in preparation for the 6G era that will come in 10 years down the road, and will lead the global standard based on them.

Research Topics

Samsung Research secures 5G core technologies to lead product innovation, new service development, and evolution of 5G radio & network technologies
We also research on 6G technologies for the next decade including Terahertz, advanced duplexing, native AI, communication-computing convergence, etc.
In addition, we develop and standardize UWB technology for the creation of location-based service platforms.
