Every year, InterDigital attends MWC in Barcelona to showcase the cutting-edge innovation and technological leadership fostered within our Research and Innovation Labs. InterDigital’s MWC showcase is the culmination of months of work and collaboration to provide tangible, interactive examples of the impact of InterDigital’s wireless, video, and AI expertise.
This year’s show was anchored in InterDigital research and innovation that is shaping 6G and empowering more devices, more AI-enabled services, and richer, immersive experiences at scale. Dive in to explore what we showed:
Demos
Leading 6G Research: Our experts previewed some of InterDigital’s future-looking research, including the ways Extreme MIMO and Near Field will expand network capacity, Service Aware Radio Access can significantly improve quality of experience for an array of services, and GenAI Convergence can natively integrate communication and computing to support more Gen AI in the 6G era.
