BeammWave AB joins the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) with the intention to contribute with BeammWave’s world class expertise in FR2 (mmWave) for future releases of the global 3GPP standards.
The 3GPP unites seven telecommunications standard development organizations, known as “Organizational Partners” and provides their members with a stable environment to produce the Reports and Specifications that define 3GPP technologies. The project covers cellular telecommunications technologies, including radio access, core network and service capabilities, which provide a complete system description for mobile telecommunications. The 3GPP specifications also provide hooks for non-radio access to the core network, and for interworking with non-3GPP networks.
Stefan Svedberg, CEO of BeammWave
We are firm believers and heavily invested in 5G but also in future generations of the global cellular standard. We are equally convinced that we, with our unique digital beamforming technology for the mmWave frequency range (FR2), can bring new perspectives to the standard and even further enhance and strengthen 5G as THE innovation platform for the next decade.
Per-Olof Brandt, CTO of BeammWave
FR2 is sometimes considered just another frequency range, nothing could be further from the truth. FR2 is a new paradigm, not only because of its very specific technical properties but also because it is not isolated to the radio parts of the 5G standard but touches on all aspects of the standard and its implementations. BeammWave also has extensive experience contributing in 3GPP so we expect to be off for a running start.
