5G: A key technology for a connected world

Covestro develops material solutions for 5G network infrastructure and smartphones

· Close cooperation with Deutsche Telekom and Umeå School of Design in Sweden

· Cooperate with China Southeast University to develop RF signal transmission optimization technology

As a new generation of mobile communication technology, 5G network will meet the communication needs of end users and economic development after 202 With the support of this technology, the Internet of Everything, including mobile phones, tablet computers, automobiles, home appliances, and factory production facilities, will be realized, forming the Internet of Things (Io.

In the 5G era, the demand for equipment such as base stations and active antennas will increase significant.

Covestro, Deutsche Telekom and the Umeå Institute of Design in Sweden are collaborating on sensor technology and the digital communication environme.

New telecom infrastructure

Polycarbonate and its blends have been widely used in electrical and electronic fields because of their excellent properties, and can also be an ideal material for 5G technolo.

With the further deployment of 5G networks, the layout of antenna base stations will also become more and more den.

Flexible Antenna Design

In this project, Covestro will enter this market by using its branded product range in a hypothetical scenar.

As 5G technology evolves to higher frequencies, such as the millimeter wave band, signal penetration will become a design challen.

Developing new thin-film solutions for 5G smartphones

The high transfer rates of 5G technology will also have a major impact on smartphone desi.

Through the Makrofol® SR multilayer co-extruded film solution from Covestro, combined with a new manufacturing process, the back cover of the mobile phone produced has a glass-like texture, but is not fragi.

        This 3D formable transparent film for 5G mobile phones is specially designed to provide mobile phone brands with a higher degree of design freedom, which can be achieved by mobile phone manufacturers using decoration technologies such as UV nanoimprinting and non-conductive vacuum coating (NCV.
