Slow wireless information transfer may be a thing of the past, if the thesis of Taneli Riihonen's award-winning doctoral work holds water. Engineering organisations predict that the Finnish innovation could be worth billions of euros if incorporated into new 5G networks.
The doctoral thesis of researcher Taneli Riihonen was awarded the 7,500-euro prize for best engineering thesis of the year on Thursday. The award was given out by the Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland (TEK) and its Swedish counterpart (TFiF). The jury declared that Riihonen's idea may revolutionise global telecommunication and net hundreds of billions of euros.
