Purdue University and the Purdue Research Foundation have launched the “Lab to Life” in the Discovery Park District. The university says the digital innovation platform will work to advance the development of next-generation wireless networks as the nation evolves from 5G to 6G.
Mung Chiang, executive vice president for strategic initiatives and dean of the College of Engineering at Purdue, says the university wants to be at the forefront of 6G research.
“6G will go from a domain to a foundation to many vertical domains, from one network to a heterogeneous network of networks. From dynamic sharing and new spectra to edge intelligence and open architecture, 6G research needs to be accelerated through deployment in the U.S.,” said Chiang. “This group of prominent industry partners and their leaders will turn Purdue’s Discovery Park District into the country’s first at-scale 6G deployment zone, and, along with other essential elements like learning and the arts, create a work-live-play connected community.”
