WILMINGTON, DE — InterDigital, Inc., a global leader in wireless technologies, this week announced its partnership with Princeton University’s NextG Initiative, signaling a significant stride toward the future of wireless, cloud, and network technologies. The initiative, led by Princeton’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, seeks to lay the groundwork for future intelligent networks across multiple systems.
As part of Princeton’s NextG program, InterDigital will contribute to crucial research surrounding the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in wireless technology. The company’s research will focus on developing high quality, realistic, and usable channel models for native AI, enhanced MIMO, integrated sensing and communications, and other future wireless applications.
Rajesh Pankaj, EVP and Chief Technology Officer at InterDigital, expressed his excitement about deepening the company’s research partnership with Princeton University. “Princeton University’s prestige and reputation for leading-edge wireless research and policy influence complements InterDigital’s forward-looking research to make our networks and modes of communication more efficient, secure, and impactful,” said Pankaj.
The NextG Initiative aims to foster collaborations between academia, industry, and government to advance networks of the future. It focuses on cross-disciplinary approaches that utilize new algorithms and AI strategies to make networks scalable, secure, and accessible.
Andrea Goldsmith, dean of Princeton’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, emphasized the importance of these collaborations. “Our NextG program aims to foster those deep collaborations around wireless technology, as well as policy, that are required to drive meaningful innovation and global leadership in an era of rapid change,” she said.
Kaushik Sengupta, co-director of Princeton’s NextG Initiative and a professor of electrical and computer engineering, welcomed InterDigital’s participation. “Given its experience in wireless, mobile, and networking technologies, we expect this collaboration will be highly productive,” Sengupta said.
InterDigital’s partnership with Princeton’s NextG program opens the door to potential public-private partnerships, policy shaping, and graduate research support. This collaboration represents a significant step in advancing technology and policy related to future networks, reinforcing InterDigital’s commitment to driving innovation in wireless and networking technologies.
