UK wireless specialist to head 5G project
UK firm Anite, a specialist in wireless equipment testing technology, has been appointed to lead part of a large scale European initiative into 5G research.
Called METIS, the project is being funded by the European Commision and involves 28 key wireless industry players. Its main objective is to lay the foundation for 5G, which is expected to help bolster in the Internet of Things (IoT).
"Anite's participation in the METIS project clearly demonstrates our technology leadership and will enable us to continue to drive the industry forwards into the next stage of wireless communications", sad Paul Beaver, products director at Anite.
Anite has been chosen to lead the radio channel modelling task group within the METIS project. As the only test equipment vendor involved in the initiative, the company is working to define five 5G scenarios which it believes reflect the future challenges of wireless communications standards.
The results of the findings are due to be published in April 2014.
