Next Generation Communications

Samsung Research America, Standards and Mobility Innovation (SMI) Team, have been pushing the boundaries of technology and making significant contributions to the rapid growth of wireless industry. We led 5G technology incubation from pre-commercial hardware prototyping, field tests to standardization, and successfully contributed to the commercialization of 5G mmWave and Full-Dimension MIMO (FD-MIMO/massive MIMO) products. Today, we are working on a wide range of cutting-edge technologies related to Beyond 5G, 6G, AI network, RF sensing, and more.
