Greenerwave offers 6G RIS material to research labs
Greenerwave in France is commercializing its reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) for public and public-private research laboratories for 6G applications.
By offering RIS in FR1, FR2, and FR3 bands, Greenerwave provides a tool to advance 6G research and develop new use cases in telecommunications.
The low-energy reconfigurable intelligent surfaces can be used to boost connectivity for Industry 4.0, large-scale event networks, and low-power B5G and 6G technologies.
The passive repeaters are capable of directing wave beams toward connected devices and enables real-time adaptation of local networks. These technologies, seen as a key advancement for 5G+/6G networks, promise enhanced network coverage while significantly reducing energy consumption.
€15m for the next generation of RIS reconfigurable intelligent surfaces
The RIS metasurfaces comprise elements that “shape” electromagnetic waves, enabling directional beams to be generated and controlled. These metasurfaces consist of a group of centimetric-sized elements called pixels that act as micromirrors. Each pixel can modify the sign of the reflected wave.
The interactions between pixels and microwaves are controlled by algorithms derived from the world of physics that direct waves after their reflection on the surface. Passive, low-cost and easy to manufacture, this technology aims to optimize the use of electromagnetic waves while drastically reducing the antenna energy consumption and production costs.
Greenerwave is offering its RIS 2.0 to the research community just months after their official unveiling. This initiative aims to support the development of knowledge and expertise that will shape the future of telecommunications, IoT, and network infrastructure.
Capable of covering all frequency bands, including FR3, these intelligent surfaces, which can reconfigure wave propagation in real-time, are suitable for institutes seeking to deepen research on wireless technologies and develop new use cases.
Recent advances in telecommunications, such as future 6G standards or IoT, rely on increasingly efficient connectivity infrastructures. For industries, the use of new frequencies for private networks and the reduction of energy consumption in communication systems are also crucial challenges. In the near future, Greenerwave aims to become a key partner in the telecommunications ecosystem by bringing RIS technology into commercial use cases and future networks.
Greenerwave was founded in 2015 by researchers Geoffroy Lerosey and Mathias Fink, spin-off from the Langevin Institute, part of the CNRS and ESPCI-PSL (École supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles de Paris) and has a deal with satellite firm Intelsat.
