Podcast #5 of CTN is proud to present Alessandro Guidotti, Senior Researcher, CNIT, Italy discussing Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) from the perspective of standardization activities and how the technology fits with the Terrestrial Networks (TN) evolution towards 6G. Since its inception, 3GPP has been focused on the standardization and evolution of terrestrial wireless networks and specifically cellular networks. In the most recent release of 3GPP, and for the first time in its history, NTN networks appear as part of study and work items being taken up by 3GPP. Along with this, as the definition of 6G is starting to take shape, a number of objectives set forth by ITU will have to take advantage of a multitude of network types to support the growing number of services, applications and social objectives.

Podcast #4 of CTN is proud to present Professor Davide Dardari from the University of Bologna where he discusses the use of metaprism materials and smart skins in wireless communication. Metaprism, a concept rooted in metamaterials science, allows for the manipulation of electromagnetic waves depending on their frequency (frequency selectivity properties) and it is promising to revolutionize how we think of non-reconfigurable smart surfaces. Smart skins continue to advance how we are able to attach sensors to humans and things that surround us, bringing to the forefront a wide array of possible applications. What could happen if a smart skin made out of metaprism material is used to manipulate the electromagnetic environment? What type of applications can it serve and what are the challenges that still exist to exploit these concepts? And listen to how they plan to utilize metaprism based communications to celebrate Marconi’s original 1895 experiment. Join us in this informative discussion between Professor Dardari and Professor Kaushik of this very promising research domain.…
