The event, held in Paris, France, attracted more than 4,000 participants, 1,600 conference delegates and more than 300 exhibitors to explore the most advanced technologies in a variety of sectors, from automotive, 6G, aerospace to defense.

At European Microwave Week, there were several major trends in the future of wireless communications and technology development, particularly concerns about high frequency and high power requirements.

A technology called Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) is getting a lot of attention at the conference, which can help solve signal propagation problems and increase the density of the network.

 
For example, Nokia demonstrated a full-duplex point-to-point link working in the D-band, achieving 10Gbps transmission speeds on the 300GHz band for the first time, showing the great potential of D-band technology in future applications.

At the same time, the concept of joint communication and perception technology has also been proposed, which can find applications in many fields such as intelligent transportation, industrial automation, environmental monitoring and medical health, and has broad market prospects.

With the promotion of 5G technology, the industry has begun to focus on the research of 5G advanced features and 6G technology. These studies cover from the lower FR1 and FR3 bands to the higher millimeter wave and terahertz bands, pointing to the future direction of wireless communic
