USA and Sweden Partner to Accelerate 6G Wireless Technology Development

The United States and Sweden have announced a significant partnership to advance the development and deployment of 6G wireless technology. Recognizing the vital role of wireless communications in modern society, both nations are committed to enhancing this technology as a critical component of their infrastructure, according to a joint statement from the US Department of State and Sweden’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs. 

New Memorandum of Understanding 

This collaboration follows a meeting in early July between US President Joe Biden and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, where both leaders emphasized the importance of joint research in 6G telecommunications. Building on this discussion, a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the US National Science Foundation, the Swedish Research Council, and the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova) to collaborate in research-intensive areas, including 6G. 

Key Focus Areas 

The partnership will focus on key areas such as harmonizing frequency bands for future wireless services, developing open and interoperable architectures, and addressing the economic, environmental, and social impacts of wireless networks. Both countries are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive 6G ecosystem, supporting long-term research collaboration, and promoting the development of technologies that bridge digital divides, according to the joint statement. 

Future Plans and Global Impact 

The partnership will also explore opportunities for joint experimentation with large-scale 6G testbeds and promote policies to build a resilient and skilled workforce in the telecommunications sector. This initiative will operate within the framework of the 2006 US-Sweden Agreement on Science and Technology Cooperation. The partnership aims to not only benefit both nations but also contribute to global advancements in next-generation communications.
