Centre for Wireless Communications - Networks and Systems Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering University of Oulu
Organisation type:
University
Country:
Finland
Short name:
CWC-NS
Description:
Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC) at Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE) was established in 1995 and provides high quality bachelor, master and doctoral level education in wireless communications and RF engineering. CWC – Networks and Systems (CWC - NS) Research Unit (RU) employs a personnel of roughly 70. CWC-NS operates in the heart of the strategic focus area of digitalization and smart society and contributes partly to all others, in particular to lifelong health. CWC-NS is heavily involved in the university profiling area 6G solutions for data driven society and the first and largest national science Flagship program on Sixth Generation (6G) wireless technology, 6G Flagship.
Future society in 2030 is data-driven and enabled by near-instant, unlimited wireless connectivity. The role of 5G/6G for us is to cognitively connect every feasible device, process, and human to a global information grid. We are therefore only now at the brink of an information revolution, and new digitalization markets will offer significant revenue expansion possibilities for those who react fastest to new opportunities. 5G and beyond-5G (B5G) network technology offers numerous opportunities for various verticals, and new value chains and business models are introducing a paradigm shift to the old communications service provider market in transforming toward digital services. However, important efforts are still required prior to making 5G a success and growth story for the industries developed around the 5G-beneficial vertical sectors.
Considering the different development cycles of each vertical too, a full trolley of the potential advances and vertical transformations will also continue to be deployed in the 6G era. Given the expansion potential of factories (including worksites), they are a natural choice for a vertical to be researched. Furthermore, logistics and transport (ground air, sea), energy, and health are among the biggest beneficiaries of the productivity increase with digitalization. Smart Cities and its’ digital services are obviously an opportunity-rich environment to do wireless research. The agri-food sector is another domain, where wireless connectivity can enable a major boost. Further to the business verticals listed above, public safety (critical communications) has been singled out. Based on these, the fundamental research at CWC-NS is divided into wireless networking and wireless systems.
