Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) are being heralded as a potential key emerging technology in the RF industry, with wide ranging implications, not just as an infrastructure level enabler for 6G, but as a tool to enhance radio propagation for many other wireless technologies, including 5G and Wireless Power Transfer. Large scale commercial deployment may still be some way over the horizon, but pre-standardisation activity, field trials, & pilot projects are taking place in many countries already, and Horizon are tracking developments.
Review our report ‘Horizon Scanning – Emerging Technologies & Future Regulatory Landscapes - Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS)’ for insights and on how the regulatory landscape for this critical new technology is being shaped now.
