Identifying Key Technologies to Shape the Future of 6G: A Case Study
Value Delivered
Leveraging GreyB’s in-depth patent landscape analysis, the client gained early insights into three key 6G-enabling technologies—Terahertz Communication, Massive MIMO, and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS). This gave the client a strategic advantage in preparing for future 6G developments and positioning themselves ahead of competitors.
Problems Solved
As 6G technology development is still in its early stages, the client faced uncertainty regarding which innovations would become central to the 6G standard. Without an established framework or industry standards, focusing their R&D efforts on the right technologies was challenging.
Furthermore, the competitive landscape of patent filings was complex, with research institutes and major corporations filing across various domains.
Solution Offered
GreyB conducted an extensive analysis of over 35,000 patent filings to identify the leading 6G technologies and their contributors. Focusing on Terahertz Communication, Massive MIMO, and RIS, GreyB identified key players and emerging opportunities within these areas. With 1,480 patents filed in Terahertz technology, 299 in Massive MIMO, and 2,278 in RIS, GreyB provided the client with a clear view of the technology landscape.
This helped them align their R&D strategy, focus on acquiring relevant patents, and prioritize key technologies for future investments.
