6G-flag­ship

The sixth gen­er­a­tion is launched in 2030

The 6G flag­ship will focus on the future chal­lenges of wire­less sys­tems, such as future radio and net­work tech­nolo­gies, arti­fi­cial­ly intel­li­gent dis­trib­uted com­pu­ta­tion meth­ods that these tech­nolo­gies require as well as devel­op­ment of appli­ca­tions. The aim is to be an active nation­al net­work among future 6G play­ers and to influ­ence the reg­u­la­tion of the telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions indus­try nation­al­ly and inter­na­tion­al­ly.

Future wire­less tech­nolo­gies are need­ed to deliv­er pro­duc­tion automa­tion, decen­tral­ized pow­er gen­er­a­tion, dig­i­tal health, and smart trans­port. The sixth gen­er­a­tion 6G is expect­ed to be in use by 2030. Oulu has been an inter­na­tion­al pio­neer in devel­op­ing pre­vi­ous net­work gen­er­a­tions, and it test­ed the world’s first inter­con­ti­nen­tal pub­lic 5G net­work con­nec­tion in Feb­ru­ary 2018 at South Kore­an Win­ter Olympics. 6G flagship’s oper­a­tions com­bine high-qual­i­ty sci­en­tif­ic research with effec­tive inno­va­tion in part­ner­ship with ICT com­pa­nies. The exist­ing open 5G test net­work is used as research envi­ron­ment. The test net­work is devel­oped into a future 6G test net­work that can be uti­lized by the whole Finnish net­work of oper­a­tors.
