History
2024: Product Announcement
Scientists of Kazan National Research Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev created a compact device that can increase the speed of data processing in fifth-generation networks tenfold. This became known on December 20, 2024.
According to CNews, the development is based on a combination of optical technologies and radio electronics, converting radio waves into optical signals. The device can operate in the frequency range up to 40 GHz.
Artem Kuznetsov, Head of the Department of Radiophotonics and Microwave Technologies at KNITU KAI, emphasizes that the use of optical technologies for processing radio signals provides exceptional accuracy and speed with minimal energy consumption.
The technology is applicable not only to 5G networks, but also to the sixth generation networks under development. The device also helps to reduce the power consumption of base stations and can be used in navigation systems of sea vessels, aircraft and railway infrastructure.
The developers plan to further miniaturize the device by creating an integrated circuit and using photonic integrated circuits instead of discrete optoelectronic components.
In November 2024, specialists from St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and ITMO University also presented a device for improving the quality of 5G and 6G communication, capable of reducing the required number of base stations.
The construction of 5G networks in Russia is planned in 16 million-plus cities by 2030. The development of technologies for sixth generation networks has been underway since the summer of 2021, their implementation is expected by 2035.
At the moment, only experimental sections of the fifth generation networks of a short range operate in Russia. In the summer of 2021, 5G test zones were deployed in the Kazan metro.
Unlike Russia, in the USA, China and many other countries, fifth-generation networks have been actively developing since 2019, which creates a potential market for the introduction of Russian development.[1]
