The Polytechnic University of Valencia, through its Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM<\/a>), is a partner of METIS-II<\/a><\/strong>, a new European project, funded by the EU H2020 program, which will be key to the future of 5G networks<\/strong><\/a>. The project has ushered in the next phase of research on the 5th generation of mobile and wireless communications (5G)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to researchers from the iTEAM-UPV, among whom are professors from the Campus Gandia<\/strong> Undergraduate Department of Telecommunication Systems<\/strong><\/a>, 5G is expected to significantly improve current, mainly human-type, wireless communications, and enable a wide range of machine-type communication applications<\/strong>, such as, eHealth, vehicular safety, industry automation and augmented reality.<\/p>\n

Ericsson is the project coordinator and Nokia Networks the technical coordinator<\/strong>. METIS-II brings together a very strong and international consortium with partners from EU, US, China, Japan, and Korea, comprising most of the major international vendors, several major operators and key research organizations. UPV is one of three European universities integrating the consortium, and the only Spanish participants.<\/p>\n
