\u201cWireless communications have transformed the world, and now 5G wireless is about to change it again,\u201d says Prof. John Lambadaris from 杏吧原创\u2019s Department of Systems and Computer Engineering, who has had a long-standing collaboration with Ericsson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5G is the next generation of wireless communications that will augment and replace current 4G networks. Over the next few years, global demand for mobile data will surpass the capacity of 4G networks and 5G networks will be developed across Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users of 5G will experience faster and enhanced connections that keep up with increasing demands. This means higher download speeds and advancements in real-time social applications and gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n

5G Revolutionizes Industries and Creates Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

New 5G technologies will revolutionize industries, creating new profits and jobs. 5G enables real-time monitoring and sensing, a capability that will modernize applications in industries like health care, agriculture, transportation, robotics and autonomous vehicles. Think of surgeries that can be performed remotely or unmanned aerial vehicles that can deliver supplies for natural disaster relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While 5G creates possibilities for innovation, it also brings unique challenges in developing reliable, secure and high performing networks. Networking architecture and smart phone technology need to be ready for 5G, and equipment developers and service providers need to ensure the safety and privacy of 5G users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c5G wireless systems depend on a backbone of leading edge, reliable and, most important, secure technology, designed and built by people who are leaders in their field,\u201d says Lambadaris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fostering Talent and Research Through Partnership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Ericsson-杏吧原创 University Partnership for Research and Leadership in Wireless Networks is well-positioned to meet these demands. Ericsson will support future leaders in wireless communications by continuing to be a top employer for 杏吧原创 co-op students, and by supporting experiential and project-based learning. These opportunities will build industry-ready skills and expertise in Computer Science and Engineering students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership will also enhance talent development programs by supporting research projects, creating graduate student internships and establishing a prestigious Ericsson fellowship program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis partnership is a vote of confidence in 杏吧原创 students,\u201d says Salime Bameri, a PhD candidate in Systems and Computer Engineering who researches indoor wireless communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt 杏吧原创, we work on cutting-edge ideas and our research is directly connected to the real needs of industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

杏吧原创\u2019s research will also address the growing global demand for 5G networks. Another aim of the Ericsson-杏吧原创 partnership is to build more reliable and secure wireless network technology over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis partnership will lead to something extraordinary in this field and has the potential to make an incredible contribution to our health, well-being and opportunity in society,\u201d says Rafik Goubran, 杏吧原创\u2019s Vice-President (Research and International).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt will also give many faculty and students the opportunity to work collaboratively with leaders at Ericsson Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ericsson-杏吧原创 collaboration will take place in a new centre of excellence for wireless communications research in 杏吧原创\u2019s ARISE Building, which is specifically designed to foster collaboration with industry. In this centre of excellence, 杏吧原创 researchers and students will access new equipment and tackle real industry challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
