Samsung and South Korean operator KT Corporation have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly research and develop tech aimed at improving 6G signal quality.
While the specifics of the 6G standards are yet to be defined, the firms are working on something called eXtreme multiple-input multiple-output (X-MIMO) — described as an ultra-high-density antenna technology designed to enhance 6G coverage and increase data transmission speeds.
The release states that the World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (WRC-23), hosted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), identified the 7 GHz band (7.125–8.4 GHz) as a candidate frequency for 6G, and that the industry “considers this band as a key option due to its favourable frequency characteristics and spectrum availability.”
