Greenerwave has taken a major step forward by commercializing its reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) for use in public and public-private research laboratories. By offering RIS in the 5G FR1, FR2, and FR3 bands, Greenerwave provides a unique RIS offering to advance research in this future-oriented field and unlock new use cases in telecommunications. With its low-energy reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, the company aims to play a key role in addressing tomorrow’s connectivity challenges — connectivity for Industry 4.0, large-scale event networks, and low-power Beyond 5G and 6G technologies.
Greenerwave offers RIS technology that is efficient, cost-effective, and delivers high-performance for mobile operators. By developing passive repeaters capable of directing wave beams toward connected devices, Greenerwave enables real-time adaptation of local networks to connectivity needs. These technologies, seen as a key advancement for 5G+ and 6G networks, promise enhanced network coverage while significantly reducing energy consumption.
Greenerwave designs metasurfaces comprising elements that “shape” electromagnetic waves, enabling directional beams to be generated and controlled. These metasurfaces consist of a group of centimeter-sized elements called pixels that act as micro-mirrors. Each pixel can modify the sign of the reflected wave. The interactions between pixels and microwaves are controlled by algorithms derived from the world of physics that direct waves after their reflection on the surface. Passive, low-cost and easy to manufacture, this technology aims to optimize the use of electromagnetic waves while drastically reducing the antenna energy consumption and production costs.
Capable of covering all frequency bands, including FR3, these intelligent surfaces, which can reconfigure wave propagation in real-time, are the perfect tool for institutes seeking to deepen their research on wireless technologies and develop new use cases. Greenerwave RIS technology aims to democratize electromagnetic wave control technologies while reinforcing Europe’s leadership in more stable, optimized, and energy-efficient telecommunications.
Recent advances in telecommunications, such as future 6G standards or IoT, rely on increasingly efficient connectivity infrastructures. For industries, the use of new frequencies for private networks and the reduction of energy consumption in communication systems are also crucial challenges. In the near future, Greenerwave aims to become a key partner in the telecommunications ecosystem by bringing RIS technology into commercial use cases and future networks.
