A comms breakthrough solves a key issue for 6G: engineers at the University of Glasgow have brought AI-native 6G networks a step closer, cutting through electromagnetic interference. The engineers have found a way to help wireless signals redirected by reconfigurable intelligent surfaces cut through the omnipresent electromagnetic interference caused by the ultra-connected modern world. The research, recently published in a new paper, could help to ensure that the next generation of communications technologies is reliable and secure.
