QUOBIS NETWORKS SL

Their core work

Quobis Networks is a Spanish telecom software SME specializing in WebRTC, real-time communications protocols, and enterprise communication platforms. In H2020, they contributed as a technical partner in next-generation network architecture projects — first in decentralized web communication frameworks, then in 5G network service development and validation. Their commercial work centers on SIP/WebRTC gateways and unified communications solutions for enterprise clients. They sit at the intersection of telecom standards and software product development, which makes them a rare bridge between research consortia and commercial deployment.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Quobis entered H2020 through the angle of communication identity and trust — reTHINK focused on decentralized, hyperlinked entity frameworks for dynamic networks, a foundational protocol-layer challenge. By their second project they had shifted toward applied 5G infrastructure: building development and validation platforms for real-world industry deployments. This is a coherent progression from "how do we make communications trustworthy and decentralized" to "how do we build and certify 5G services at scale." No keyword metadata was available in the source data, so this evolution is inferred from project titles and dates alone.

Quobis is moving from protocol research toward applied 5G service infrastructure, suggesting future collaborations in telecom-adjacent verticals like connected industry, telemedicine, or smart infrastructure where 5G connectivity is the enabling layer.

How they like to work

Quobis has participated exclusively as a consortium partner — never as coordinator — across both projects. Their 27 unique partners across 9 countries over just 2 projects indicates they integrate into large, diverse consortia rather than tight recurring groups. This profile is consistent with a specialist technology SME that joins projects where their specific communications expertise is needed, rather than building and leading their own research agenda.

Quobis has worked with 27 unique partners across 9 countries in only 2 projects, reflecting participation in large European consortia typical of ICT Research and Innovation Actions. Their network is broad but shallow — many partners, no evidence of repeated collaboration with the same institutions.

What sets them apart

Quobis is one of very few Spanish SMEs with demonstrated hands-on experience in both WebRTC protocol-layer research and 5G service platform development — a combination that is commercially valuable but rarely found in the same organisation. As a product company (not a consultancy or university spin-off), they bring deployable technology into research consortia, which accelerates the path from project output to market. For consortium builders in ICT, this means they can contribute both technical depth and a commercial exploitation route.

Highlights from their portfolio

• 5GTANGO
  Their largest-funded project (€288,375) and most recent, targeting the high-priority 5G network services space with an industry validation platform — directly relevant to any consortium working on connected industry, smart cities, or telecom infrastructure.
• reTHINK
  An early-stage RIA focused on trust and decentralized identity in dynamic networks — notable as foundational protocol research that predates mainstream interest in decentralized communications by several years.
