As 5G becomes more commercialized, the industry is keen to start discussing 6G, making it a hot topic in recent years. This is especially the case with the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war, as low-orbit satellites have strengthened the resilience of basic communications in different countries and brought various possibilities for 6G in terms of wireless network coverage and stability. Therefore, on October 27 this year, Auden held the SmartLife for Next Generation Seminar: Toward 6G Era - Bridging Key Innovative Technologies, inviting experts from the industry, government, and academia to conduct comprehensive and extensive discussions on the millimeter wave, Open Radio Access Network (ORAN), and biomedicine.From left to right: Dr. Li-Fung Chang (President of Atayalan Taiwan), Professor Ruey-Beei Wu (Convener of the Taiwan Electromagnetic Industry-Academia Consortium), Ms. Pei-Ti Hu (Deputy Director-General of the Administration for Digital Industries, MODA), Mr. Yu-Pin Chang (Chairman of Auden Techno Corp.) and Professor Tzong-Lin Wu (National Taiwan University).Photo: Auden TechnoIn the post-pandemic era, domestic industries, government, and academia gather to explore 6G technologyDuring his welcome speech, Mr. Yu-Pin Chang, Chairman of Auden Techno Corp., indicated that this was the 6th SmartLife for Next Generation Seminar. Due to the pandemic in the past two years, the event had to be suspended in 2021. Although the pandemic has improved this year, it was still difficult for many foreign scholars to join the event because of the epidemic prevention policies and other factors. For the discussion topics of the seminar this year, from 5G to 6G, information security to private networks, and low-orbit satellites, these issues are all interconnected, and they play vital roles in future technological developments. The agenda for this event was also quite extensive, with many major technological developments and research being discussed. Mr. Chang believes the event would enhance Taiwan's development prospects immensely, ranging from technology to application.During her speech, Ms. Pei-Ti Hu, Deputy Director General of the Administration for Digital Industries, MODA, anticipated that applications for 5G private networks would begin next year. With the launch of 5G private networks, smart manufacturing, smart healthcare, and smart transportation would undergo further enhancement. In other words, Ms. Hu's anticipation also echoed the aforementioned views, whereby social development and social inclusion would have more room for development. When private networks are launched, the development of next-generation communication technologies has to be considered. This is also why the seminar has a special significance.Dr. Pei-Zen Chang, Executive Vice President of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, commended Auden who has been a collaborative partner of ITRI for many years. Dr. Chang is currently responsible for overseeing three departments of the ITRI, namely optoelectronics, information and communications, and biomedicine, which are three areas closely linked to the agenda of the seminar. Dr. Chang also talked about 5G-related technological developments. In the past, millimeter wave was generally used in national defense and aerospace. However, in the last five years, it has been gradually utilized in telecommunication base stations. The technological advancement has been truly impressive. Nevertheless, as the world embarks on the 6G era, in addition to millimeter waves, the inclusion of low-orbit satellites and ORAN technology is expected to give rise to much technological complexity. On the other hand, the application of electromagnetic waves in biomedicine should also be considered. Currently, the ITRI is involved in the development of these technologies, and Dr. Chang hopes for deeper cooperation between both parties in the future.Professor Ruey-Beei Wu, Convener of the Taiwan Electromagnetic Industry-Academia Consortium, pointed out that the three main aspects of 5G are generally known to be "high capacity, low latency, and multiple connections". In the 6G era, there are three additional aspects. The first is full coverage. With the advent of the metaverse, video applications online will change our lives immensely. Meanwhile, the internet service for one-third of the world's population still requires improvement. With the commercialization of 6G, the problem is expected to be alleviated to a certain extent. The second aspect is intelligent automation, such as unmanned vehicles, which include drones and autonomous cars. The last aspect concerns energy conservation and environmental protection. The industry must contemplate how it can respond to ESG issues while implementing 6G technological developments.5G ORAN will bring the next wave of industry opportunities and Taiwan should seize the key opportunitiesDr. Li-Fung Chang, President of Ataylan Taiwan, indicated that there is an extremely important part of 5G, which is the vertical applications. Broadly speaking, rural area, education, and industrial IoT applications can all be included in the purview of corporate private networks. However, they must first apply for the spectrum. As for ORAN, which has been a popular topic recently, Dr. Chang believes that Taiwan still needs time before it can seize the opportunities of the ORAN market. Currently, the interest of the US market is relatively mild towards ORAN. Nevertheless, in general, it is still focusing on system integration. At present, Auray Technology (a subsidiary of Auden Techno Corp.) is providing authentication and testing services for ORAN, of which Ms. Chang looks forward to these services being utilized in real applications in Taiwan's 5G private networks and the company expanding operations in the global market.Professor Tzong-Lin Wu, convener of MOST's R&D Program for Key Technologies of the Next Generation Communication System, agreed with Dr. Chang's views, and noted Taiwan used to hold the leading position in hardware manufacturing and design capabilities in the past. As such, ORAN is a relatively important market opportunity for Taiwan. Moreover, 6G will be rather helpful to the development of digital twins. As 6G drives the implementation of ultra-broadband technology, many AR and VR applications discussed in the past will be realized in many application settings.The SmartLife for Next Generation Seminar: Toward 6G Era - Bridging Key Innovative Technologies has gathered experts from the industry, government, and academia. Photo: Auden TechnoFor future developments of 5G, testing requirements will undergo corresponding changesThe keynote speech in the morning session brought forth important information shared by professionals from the industry, government, and academia. Dr. Niels Kuster, Director of IT'IS Foundation and Professor of Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH Zürich), gave his speech on the topic, "Compliance Testing of 5G & 6G Devices: New Requirements & Instrumentations", explaining SPEAG's current development of many testing projects for testing equipment (Schmid & Partner Engineering AG (SPEAG) is one of the main strategic members of Zurich43. ETH Zürich is also a member of Zurich43). Dr. Kuster indicated that the testing of SPEAG's solutions under multiple spectrum ranges is expected to be completed in the third to fourth quarter of this year (2022). Under the current planning for 5G FR2 (Frequency Range 2), as opposed to FR1, the frequency will be increased from 7.1GHz to 71GHz. The frequency range of FR2 falls between 24.2GHz and 71GHz. In the future, the bands of 6G frequency range will be divided further into different ranges for the use of different applications.Furthermore, Dr. Kuster specifically mentioned the IEEE 63195 standard, which was published in May 2022. The standard mainly involves methods for the assessment of power density of human exposure (such as the head and body) to radiofrequency fields (frequency range falls between 6GHz and 300GHz). At the same time, regarding the phase retrieval function of SPEAG's DAYS8 Module solution, he further explained the main differences between plane-to-plane phase reconstruction (PTP-PR) and equivalent source reconstruction (ESR).Prof. Dr. Niels Kuster / IT'IS Foundation & ETH Zurich.Photo: Auden TechnoQualcomm will build Connect Smart Edge via comprehensive solutionsMr. Paul Chen, Qualcomm's Senior Director of Product Management, indicated that Qualcomm not only provides chip solutions but also comprehensive system-level solutions. With the help of partners in the ecosystem, Qualcomm is able to satisfy the development needs of customers for various applications. For 5G, in addition to smartphone applications, the more important aspect is the concept of the Internet of Everything (IoE). These "things" can be viewed as smart edge, and Qualcomm offers relatively comprehensive solutions to satisfy the needs in these fields. Mr. Chen also quoted data from research institutions and pointed out that in the future, it is conceivable that the amount of data generated by terminals will be rather astounding. In the 5G era, Qualcomm's terminal devices will be equipped with AI functions and able to improve data transmission stability of the devices. Of course, for AI computing, if CPU processing is used, the computing efficiency will be sub-optimal. However, if a specific neural computing engine is utilized for processing, the efficiency can be improved tremendously. Qualcomm has accumulated extensive technologies and experience in this field, and therefore, it is able to simplify the intellectualization of terminal devices.Paul Chen / Senior Director, Product Management, Qualcomm.Photo: Auden TechnoActual standards for 6G have yet to be determined. Rel.19 should start the formulation processDr. Zhong-Yong Jia, Vice President of the Chunghwa Telecom Internet Technology Branch, first reviewed the development of 5G in Taiwan. Currently, Taiwan's 5G telecommunications network is still in the non-standalone (NSA) stage and must rely on support from 4G base stations to provide 5G services. In terms of version, Chunghwa Telecom has only developed the system to half of Rel.15 specifications, and the main definition for Rel.16 is high speed, low latency and multiple connections. In other words, Chunghwa Telecom still has a long way to go to get to Rel.16. The so-called 5G Advance (also known as B5G) is generally deemed to be a version of Rel.18 by the industry. Whereas, Rel.17 is extended from the definition of Rel.16, with content and definition of low-orbit satellites added in. As for 6G, 3GPP has not further formulated the related standards. However, Chunghwa Telecom predicts that the demand for 6G will begin to emerge in the next three years. In other words, the formulation of 6G standards will probably begin with Rel.19. Chunghwa Telecom also predicts that Rel.19 to Rel.22 will be covered by the formulation of 6G standards.Furthermore, Dr. Jia thinks that the advent of 6G era will occur in the next five to six years. For the division of 6G frequency bands, the low-frequency band will fall between 7 and 20 Ghz, while the high frequencies will fall between 100GHz and 300GHz. The demand for 6G must be driven by consumers. From 5G to 6G, in addition to high speed, low latency, and multiple connections, Chunghwa Telecom hopes to give 6G "full connectivity, ubiquity, and security everywhere", which means that all devices can be connected, everyone can enjoy the services, and the network will have a certain level of security. The networking model for 5G is divided into standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA). The industry is still discussing the models for 6G and it requires future observations.Dr. Zhong-Yong Jia/Vice President of the Chunghwa Telecom Internet Technology Branch.Photo: Auden TechnoDr. Ching-Kuang Chuang, Professor Emeritus of National Taiwan University, talked about large-scale antenna arrays and shared the future technological trends of the arrays. Dr. Chuang cited 72 to 78GHz beamformers as an example. The beamformers are 2 x 1 square meter in size and consist of several antenna modules in an array. He indicated that future antenna module composition will be divided into three parts. In this regard, in addition to the lens, he mainly discussed the structuring technology of specular reflection in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Meanwhile, semiconductor products for pure digital and hybrid radio frequency signals are also vital parts of the antenna array.Dr. Ching-Kuang Chuang, Professor Emeritus of National Taiwan University.Photo: Auden TechnoDr. Yongxin Guo, Professor of National University of Singapore, gave his speech on "Efficient Wireless Power Transfer for IoTs and Biomedical Applications" remotely. He explored the related technological developments and shared the development trends of energy harvesting in IoT nodes. For example, when the transmitter is 1.5 meters away from the receiver, the receiver can finish charging within 35 minutes. The second half of his speech focused on the information and communications technologies (ICT) derived from smart healthcare.Prof. Dr. Yongxin Guo / National University of Singapore.Photo: Auden TechnoFor the seminar agenda of Auden Techno Corp., important guests from the industry, government, and academia were invited to share industry and technology trends in the morning sessions.

Two years ago, a unique baby monitor that used artificial intelligence (AI) to accurately determine the cause of a baby's crying – whether the infant may be hungry, sleepy, or needs a diaper change – was launched in the childcare market. This baby monitor could even actively play soft, soothing music to immediately calm a baby. This product was called "Pixsee AI Smart Baby Monitor" and it was built by Shennona, a Compal subsidiary.What's special about Pixsee is that it was the world's first consumer product to be certified by Microsoft's Azure IoT Hub. By utilizing the Azure IoT Hub at its core, Pixsee links the cloud, the monitors, and cell phones to integrally manage all Pixsee devices. It also realizes high-speed and safe services by utilizing Azure's encryption technology and multiple information security solutions, thereby allowing parents to safely use Pixsee AI smart baby monitor and various app services.Shennona, a Compal subsidiary, has created "Pixsee AI Smart Baby Monitor" and has achieved high-speed and safe service design by integrating Pixsee and peripheral Internet of Things (IoT) products by using Azure IoT Hub; credit: Shennona Co., Ltd.Integrates cloud and local encryption to achieve a worry-free and secure experienceHaving had many years of experience in the medical industry, Shennona is expanding to cater to consumers of all ages. After developing smart medical solutions for the elderly, Shennona is currently striving to build the Pixsee brand to cater to newborns by utilizing its existing competencies in AI and IoT technology as well as strengths in product design, which have helped it to win the iF Design Awards from Germany in the past.The purpose of Pixsee is to provide 24/7 care for babies while storing all precious memories, which could, for example, then be provided to the babies and their families. Pixsee's AI can gradually learn about and understand the people and objects found in the babies' environments. The Pixsee team focused on AI-enabled voice recognition in the first stage, but recently the team has moved into the large-scale introduction of AI-enabled image recognition technologies. These are the fruitful results of the Pixsee AI team's collaborations with Microsoft. Looking forward, Shennona will launch more peripheral equipment for Pixsee. Its features will gradually move from the basic requirement of providing "care" to a more well-rounded "edutainment" goal by introducing "learning" and "play" functions.Pixsee's comprehensive collaborations with Microsoft include the following three aspects: First, to build a comprehensive encryption system for the cloud and local AIoT products in order to ensure total privacy protection for audio and video information, for both individuals and entire families. Second, to achieve a high-speed and safe service design by integrating Pixsee and peripheral IoT products by using Azure IoT Hub. Third, as information security laws become more stringent all over the world, Pixsee can accelerate its global expansion plans by relying on Microsoft's highly compliant information framework to fulfill the requirements of personal information protection laws throughout the world.Acquires more market opportunities by riding on the shoulders of giantsGiven Microsoft's strong AI team and its years of experience in AI research and development, Pixsee has made repeated efforts throughout the development process to utilize Microsoft's AI platform to augment the competencies of its own internal AI development team. For instance, in terms of safety, the covered face detection on a child requires an immediate response, and should therefore be deployed locally and directly built into the Pixsee device. On the other hand, the music scheduling service does not require immediate attention, so this function may be split up between different devices. Some of its features may be cloud-based and could take advantage of the AI derivative applications developed over several decades by Microsoft. This would help the Pixsee AI team to overcome its manpower constraints. By riding on the shoulders of the Microsoft giant, Pixsee can achieve faster deployment to win more market opportunities.In addition, Pixsee uses financial institution-grade encryption for its baby monitor, which utilizes irreversible encryption alongside Azure's industrial encryption computing technology. Furthermore, in order to fully satisfy consumers' requirements for privacy protection, Shennona has also extended the length of encryption keys from 128 bits to 256 bits.Pixsee's brand positioning is not only limited to baby monitors. Going forward, it will also strive to build a record of the most touching moments of all family members and record them through an AI-enabled, smarter day-to-day life. It is expected that Microsoft's continued support will be crucial to the Pixsee brand in the foreseeable future as Shennona moves toward more diverse developments.Builds expandable core solutions to increase user loyaltyAccording to Terry Chang, Microsoft Asia-Pacific IoT Solution Specialist, there are three main types of assistance provided by Microsoft's services to Pixsee.A. Device management - By using the Azure IoT Hub as a global device management platform, Pixsee was able to comprehensively realize device deployment and setup, remote data collection, firmware version control, device life cycle management, and edge-to-cloud safety management.B. Information analytics - By using Azure Log Analytics in its backend, Pixsee could enhance the user experience and optimize the contents of its app by performing multi-dimensional information queries from different data sources, including the Pixsee app, remote device monitoring data, and consumer data.C. Information management - Azure Data Lake Storage helps Pixsee implement big data management; by using Azure Data Lake's built-in data life cycle management function, hot and cold data could be automatically separated to not only reduce the cost of data storage but also allow Shennona's staff to focus on developing their core businesses.Pixsee has made repeated efforts throughout the development process to utilize Microsoft's AI platform to augment the competencies of its own internal AI development team. For instance, in terms of safety, the covered face detection on a child requires an immediate response; credit: Shennona Co., Ltd.Going forward, it is expected that there will be even more close-knit collaborations between Microsoft and Shennona's Pixsee. Microsoft's Senior Manager of Device Partner Sales Department Jimmy Huang has compiled three major directions. The first is "innovating quality solutions", in which Azure's AI, machine learning, and slew of tools and the Microsoft team's experience and technical support can facilitate Pixsee's team's development of more innovative solutions compatible with end users' usage environment, thereby helping them to cater to the users' lifestyles. The second is "strengthening information safety and transparency". Microsoft has always been committed to information security; it can integrate edge-to-edge protection, AI, and automated functions to tackle safety concerns from all angles. Since privacy is a key issue for all of Pixsee's various services, the company may use Microsoft's diverse information security services including Defender, Sentinel, and Purview to provide comprehensive information security protection and data governance.Finally, in terms of "digital transformation", Microsoft will help the Shennona team build an expandable and repeatable core solution founded on Pixsee. This will benefit the further development of Shennona's terminal equipment, facilitate users' loyalty to its services, and finally help the company to create a broader living and caring platform with even more enriched solutions.
