InterDigital Innovation at MWC 2026
- AI-enabled Teleoperation: InterDigital will demonstrate the potential of AI-enabled services, as a remote vehicle operator uses real-time video to navigate complex environments. The operator's job is complemented by AI agents that maintain consistent quality of video delivery, despite degraded network conditions, to safely navigate the remote vehicle.
- Collaborative Sensing: InterDigital and Türk Telekom will reveal the world's first implementation of collaborative sensing using preliminary 6G architecture. Collaborative sensing is the fusing of sensing data from cellular and Wi-Fi signals to support real-time, continuous results for sensing services in applications like manufacturing, healthcare, situational awareness, and more.
- Leading 6G Research: This display of InterDigital's future-looking research will introduce the enabling technologies that will expand network capacity, natively integrate communication and computing capabilities to support emerging high-demand use of Gen AI, and significantly improve quality of user experience for an array of services in the 5G-Advanced and 6G era.
- Haptic-enabled Streaming: InterDigital and Razer will showcase the latest in delivering haptic-enabled content at scale, alongside collaborative efforts to popularize and encourage adoption of haptics through innovation, education, and standardization.
- Interactive AR Experiences: Step into an augmented reality-enhanced interactive world enabled by InterDigital's contributions to 3GPP and MPEG's Scene Description, Avatar, and Haptic standards that enhance immersivity, realism, and sensory feedback to foster engagement in AR environments.
InterDigital will also participate in and contribute expertise to industry events and dialogues at the show.
- InterDigital is a partner of the AI Telco Troubleshooting Challenge, launched by GSMA, ETSI, IEEE GenAI Net, ITU, and TM Forum. The global competition invites teams to submit AI models developed to identify practical solutions that lead to more resilient, efficient and automated networks.
