Ericsson announced Tuesday a ten-year investment initiative in the UK focused on 6G research and development. The company said it will invest tens of millions of British pounds in research areas including network resilience and security, artificial intelligence (AI), cognitive networks and network efficiency.
Ericsson plans to hire 20 dedicated researchers to aid in the efforts, the company said, along with “additional PhD students who will work alongside leading academics, CSPs and industry partners” to further the company’s 6G research projects in the country.
While much of 6G’s emerging functionality and features are yet to be written, Ericsson has grand ambitions to support the technology.
