Samsung Research America (SRA) has recently partnered with Princeton University in their NextG Corporate Affiliates program, a collaboration between industry and academia focused on advancing research in 6G wireless networks and related technologies.
This collaboration aligns with Samsung's ongoing efforts to establish itself as a leader in 6G technology. As a founding affiliate member, SRA will work closely with Princeton faculty to provide valuable insights into real-world needs and applications, guiding academic projects.
The partnership between Samsung Research America and Princeton University's NextG Corporate Affiliates program underscores the importance of collaboration between academia and industry in advancing cutting-edge technologies and shaping the future of wireless networks.
Driving Innovation in 6G Wireless Networks
Princeton University's NextG Corporate Affiliates program, launched by the School of Engineering and Applied Science, aims to drive innovation in networking, sensing, and other areas crucial for the development of next-generation data infrastructure.
By joining this program, Samsung Research America joins other major telecom players such as Ericsson, Nokia, and Qualcomm in fostering collaborations between academia and industry technology leaders.
Andrea Goldsmith, Dean of Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science, emphasizes the importance of close interactions between faculty and industry leaders in driving meaningful innovation and global leadership in wireless technology and policy.
Samsung's Commitment to 6G Technology
Samsung's partnership with Princeton University is part of the company's ongoing efforts to establish itself as a leader in 6G technology. In 2020, Samsung's Advanced Communications Research Center published a significant whitepaper on 6G, followed by another paper in 2022 focusing on future spectrum needs.
Dr. Charlie Zhang, Senior Vice President at SRA, encourages Princeton's researchers to continue innovating and developing potentially disruptive 6G technologies. With Samsung also chairing key 6G standardization groups, the collaboration with Princeton University positions the company to quickly translate research insights into wider ecosystem development.
Ushering in a New Era of Wireless Connectivity
Together, Samsung and Princeton University aim to usher in a new era of wireless connectivity with 6G, promising significantly higher speeds, lower latency, and expanded capabilities to enable innovative mobile applications.
This collaboration follows Samsung's inaugural 6G Forum conference held in May, further solidifying the company's commitment to driving the development of 6G technologies and shaping the future of wireless communication.
