- The initiative is a part of the European Union’s Important Project of Common European Interest on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies (IPCEI-ME/CT) program
- European Microelectronics and Communication Technologies (EMCT) Program to provide EUR 8.1 billion to help research and development projects
Ericsson has recently shared that it will receive five-year funding from Germany’s Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action for its European Microelectronics and Communication Technologies for 6G (EMCT) project.
This project aims to develop semiconductor technology and set up the foundation for energy-efficient and sustainable microelectronics and communication technologies for 6G Massive MIMO radios with European companies.
Ericsson Antenna Technology Germany will handle the project at the Rosenheim R&D site in Germany. The program plans to provide up to EUR 8.1 billion in public funding to help research and development projects throughout the microelectronics and communication technology ecosystem.
This effort is part of the European Union’s Important Project of Common European Interest on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies (IPCEI-ME/CT) program, developed collaboratively by 14 EU member countries.
Ericsson aims to extend the current radio microelectronics development by establishing early technology development of 6G radio microelectronics.
The focus is on the early technology development of 6G Massive MIMO radios, which will enhance the European semiconductor ecosystem and contribute to the establishment of a complete European value chain in this critical field of European interest.
The company highlights the energy-efficient communication for upcoming 6G networks, meeting the huge demand for human-to-human, human-to-machine, and machine-to-machine interactions.
