TII, Greenerwave demonstrate first end-to-end RIS multi-reflector trial to boost 6G development

Abu Dhabi-UAE – The AI and Digital Science Research Center (AIDRC), at the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a leading global scientific research center and the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), has collaborated with Greenerwave, a pure Deeptech startup in the field of antennas, to carry out the first end-to-end 6G Reflective Intelligent Surface (RIS) multi-reflector trial at 27 GHz. The trial utilizes multiple RIS units that are optimally distributed to ensure the seamless streaming of an HD video with a mobile receiver.

A first-of-its-kind initiative to leverage multiple RIS units, the trial aims to cultivate a dynamic environment for the proliferation of new generation networks, as RIS is a key enabler of 6G. While trials to illustrate the potential of RIS in improving the performance of communications have been conducted in the past, this is the first trial facilitated with multiple, uncoordinated RIS units, making it a significant and historic event.

The trial is well aligned with strengthening the country’s advanced technology landscape and positioning Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE as a serious frontrunner of 6G technology in the region.
