6G‑Bridge

Professor Song Han, a leading expert in deterministic networks and edge intelligence at the University of Connecticut, will visit Mid Sweden University and STC for two months. The project aims to build a bridge between Sweden and the United States to promote reliable and energy-efficient 6G solutions.

About the visit

6G-BRIDGE – Strengthening Sweden’s Competence for Future Wireless Systems

Between 1 May and 1 July 2026, Mid Sweden University (MIUN) and STC will host Professor Song Han, an internationally leading expert in deterministic wireless communication and energy-efficient edge intelligence from the University of Connecticut (UConn). His visit is part of 6G-BRIDGE, a Vinnova-funded exchange initiative designed to strengthen Sweden’s long-term capability in next-generation wireless systems.

By connecting MIUN with UConn, the project builds a strategic bridge between Swedish and U.S. research communities. This collaboration is vital as Sweden prepares for 6G, where ultra-reliable communication and low-energy intelligent devices will play a central role in industry, infrastructure, and society. Professor Han’s visit provides a unique opportunity to bring world-class expertise directly into Sweden’s research and innovation ecosystem.

More information

During his stay, Professor Han will collaborate closely with researchers at MIUN and with Swedish industry to transfer proven methods for:

Highly reliable and predictable wireless communication, enabling precise timing and extremely low delays—crucial for automated production, robotics, and industrial control.
Energy-efficient edge AI, where sensors and small devices can process information intelligently while using minimal power.

This knowledge exchange strengthens MIUN’s ongoing work within the Communication Systems and Networks (CSN) group and supports national efforts to develop future 6G technologies. It also helps Swedish companies explore new ways to build smarter, safer, and more sustainable industrial systems.

By integrating Professor Han’s methods into MIUN’s 6G testbeds and through workshops and outreach activities, the project ensures that results are shared widely across both academia and industry. In this way, 6G-BRIDGE contributes to building Sweden’s long-term competence and global competitiveness in wireless communication.
