About this report
The development of intelligent wireless networks is entering a phase in which communication and sensing functions are no longer separate but coexist within the same physical structures. A new class of programmable materials, known as space-time-coding metasurfaces (STCMs), makes this convergence possible.
These ultra-thin electronic sheets can actively manipulate electromagnetic waves, allowing them to transmit data and perceive environmental information at the same time. The principle combines communication reliability with radar-like spatial awareness, enabling more efficient, adaptive, and secure wireless environments.
Key questions this report answers
- What are space-time-coding metasurfaces (STCMs) and how do they let communication and sensing functions coexist within the same physical structures?
- How do these ultra-thin electronic sheets actively manipulate electromagnetic waves to transmit data and perceive environmental information at the same time?
- How does combining communication reliability with radar-like spatial awareness enable more efficient, adaptive, and secure wireless environments?
- What dual-use potential does the convergence of wireless communication and environmental sensing in intelligent surfaces offer?
Who it's for
Strategy, corporate-development and investment teams that need an ecosystem-level view — budgets, industrial capacity and technology landscapes — before committing capital or capacity.
