Capgemini Launches 6G Research Lab In Gurugram

Tech and consulting major Capgemini has launched its 6G research lab in Gurugram.

The company said that the lab will build advanced test beds and simulators to explore use cases for next generation wireless networks, 6G ideation and the creation of energy saving solutions.

Last year, Capgemini announced an innovative joint research project with King’s College London to explore the possibilities opened up by 6G, focusing on developing new architecture frameworks to enable ultra-large coverage, AI native and sustainable 6G Networks. The new lab in Gurugram will build on this initial work by taking a step towards developing and showcasing the extensive possibilities of 6G, as a key lever of energy efficient and data-driven ‘Intelligent Industry’.

The 6G research centre is expected to contribute to Capgemini’s R&D capabilities. It will also support usage of high-performance compute infrastructure to construct advanced simulation environments to develop and verify novel network frameworks that meet the exacting demands of 6G.

The 6G lab will help devise advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to solve wireless communication challenges presented by 6G.

The lab will also help with creation of comprehensive simulations to analyse the performance of emerging 6G capabilities, including mesh networks, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), and non-terrestrial networks designed specifically for 6G.
