IMDA, SUTD launch first physical 6G lab in Southeast Asia

The lab will accelerate cutting-edge research of future communications technologies.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have launched the first physical 6G lab in Southeast Asia.

According to IMDA, the Future Communications Connectivity (FCC) Lab will accelerate cutting-edge research on future communications technologies.

The lab will also look to “unlock breakthroughs in 6G research and support emerging technologies such as holographic communications and intelligent sensing capabilities to support the next generation of self-driving cars and drones,” said IMDA.

IMDA Chief Executive Lew Chuen Hong said the lab’s launch marks the start of Singapore’s efforts “to tap into the promise of future communications tech and become a global node of excellence.”

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
