5G/6G MAESTRO

Roadmap Focus

iNEMI, along with several industry and academic partners, is developing the 5G/6G mmWave Materials and Electrical Test Technology Roadmap (5G/6G MAESTRO) as part of the NIST Advanced Manufacturing Technology (MfgTech) Roadmap. The goal is to create a foundation of knowledge and expertise in the U.S. to support the development and manufacturing of leading edge 5G and 6G products. 

MAESTRO will be a comprehensive 10-year hardware roadmap for mmWave materials characterization and testing. It will focus on the top two gaps in 5G materials development and testing as defined in various industry reports: high-speed/ultra-low loss materials (availability, testing and characterization) and electrical testing and standardization. The technology scope includes:
  • Characterization
  • Materials development
  • Electrical test
  • Manufacturing scale-up
  • Workforce development
This 18-month roadmapping project https://thor.inemi.org/webdownload//5G-6G-MAESTRO/2023/WP2-Roadmap_Matls_Test.pdfbegan on May 1, 2022 and will be completed by September 30, 2023.

Roadmap Partners

A cross-functional team of partners brings together large and small manufacturers, materials companies, university-based research institutions, and consortia to ensure that the roadmap accurately captures technology requirements over the next 15 years and reflects the views of all stakeholders.
