Thermal efficiency for advanced 6G digital infrastructure

Purpose and goal

For RISE Data Center Systems unit to establish a long-lasting collaboration with the National University of Singapore and their Sustainable Tropical Data Center Testbed in the area of digital thermal management. The goal of the project is to develop energy-efficient, scalable cooling solutions for next-generation digital infrastructure driven by the requirements of 6G communications and artificial intelligence across diverse climates using advanced thermal management technologies.

Expected effects and result

The project is expected to enable the sharing of mutually beneficial knowledge and laboratory capabilities in addition to the exchange of researchers between the partners. Expected results includes collaborative publications and relevant technical outputs. The long term effect is to bring a strong focus to this important research area and enable stronger international engagement both through future academic projects and business opportunities.

Planned approach and implementation

Ensures effective project execution through strategic management and communication among partners. Hosting staff exchanges, lab facilities sharing, internal reporting, risk management, and defining post-project actions. RISE will ensure alignment with TRL tracking and sustainability goals enabled by virtual and face-to-face workshops, and the development of internal guidance documents for future thermal management technology developments.
