LG Uplus, Samsung join forces on 6G sensing technology

LG Uplus and Samsung Electronics are joining forces to test technologies that could redefine what mobile networks do in the 6G era, turning communications infrastructure into systems capable of sensing and interpreting the physical world around them. LG Uplus said Friday that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Samsung Electronics to jointly research integrated sensing and communication technology (ISAC), along with artificial intelligence (AI)-linked 6G applications. The partnership brings together Samsung Research, Samsung Electronics’ advanced research and development division, and LG Uplus’ commercial network operation capabilities to test whether next-generation technologies developed in laboratories can function reliably in real-world telecommunications environments. The companies said the collaboration would focus on base station-based sensing technologies and AI-connected 6G systems, with the longer-term goal of contributing to future 6G standards and new commercial services. ISAC technology allows telecommunications infrastructure, including mobile base stations
