Greek ICT SME specializing in 5G/6G network solutions with cross-sector deployment in transport, food safety, health, and smart infrastructure.
WINGS ICT Solutions is a Greek technology SME specializing in 5G/6G network architecture, wireless communications optimization, and IoT-enabled smart systems. They build software platforms for network slicing, radio access management, and data analytics that enable vertical industries — healthcare, transport, aquaculture, smart cities — to run over next-generation mobile networks. Their technical work spans from low-level network planning and orchestration to application-layer solutions like food quality sensing systems and intelligent aquaculture management. They are a consistent technology provider in large-scale EU 5G validation and cross-border corridor trials.
Core contributor across FANTASTIC-5G, SPEED-5G, Flex5Gware, ONE5G, 5G EVE, 5G-TOURS, 5G-HEART, Hexa-X, DEDICAT 6G, and multiple cross-border corridor projects (5G-MOBIX, 5G-CARMEN, 5G-ROUTES).
5G-TOURS, 5G-HEART, DEDICAT 6G, and InterConnect demonstrate deployment of network slicing across healthcare, tourism, transport, and smart buildings.
PhasmaFOOD (food quality sensing with NIR spectroscopy), DAWN4IoE (data analytics for IoT), PROTEUS (water quality sensing), iKaaS (knowledge-as-a-service), and IMPAQT (aquaculture management).
5G-MOBIX, 5G-CARMEN, 5G-ROUTES, and MyCorridor — all focused on cross-border connected vehicle corridors and mobility-as-a-service.
PhasmaFOOD (portable photonic food sensing), DiTECT (digital food safety transformation), and FUSILLI (urban food systems).
SecureGas (European gas network security) and SAFETY4RAILS (combined cyber-physical security for rail and metro systems).
From 2014 to 2018, WINGS focused broadly on foundational wireless and IoT technologies — early 5G radio interface design (FANTASTIC-5G, SPEED-5G, Flex5Gware), heterogeneous computing (PHANTOM), and smart sensing for water and food quality (PROTEUS, PhasmaFOOD). From 2019 onward, their work sharpened dramatically toward 5G/6G deployment in real-world vertical sectors: they became fixtures in large-scale 5G validation trials (5G EVE, 5G-TOURS, 5G-HEART) and cross-border connected mobility corridors, while stepping into 6G research (Hexa-X, DEDICAT 6G where they coordinated). The trajectory shows a clear move from building network components to orchestrating full 5G/6G solutions for specific industries.
WINGS is positioning itself at the 6G frontier (Hexa-X, DEDICAT 6G coordination) while deepening its ability to deploy mobile network solutions into non-telecom sectors like health, transport, and food — making them a strong partner for any project needing next-generation connectivity applied to real industry problems.
WINGS operates overwhelmingly as a technology partner rather than a project leader — 34 of 36 projects as participant, with only 2 coordinator roles (including the notable DEDICAT 6G). They work in large consortia, having collaborated with 623 unique partners across 39 countries, which signals they are comfortable integrating into complex multi-partner setups and delivering defined technical components. Their breadth of partners suggests they are a trusted, interoperable contributor rather than a closed-circle player — a good sign for new consortia seeking reliable ICT expertise.
With 623 unique consortium partners spanning 39 countries, WINGS has one of the broadest collaboration networks among Greek ICT SMEs in H2020. Their partnerships are densest in Western and Southern Europe but extend globally through MSCA and IoE research links.
WINGS stands out because they bridge the gap between deep telecom-network R&D and practical industry applications — few SMEs can credibly work on 6G radio architecture AND food quality sensing or aquaculture management in the same portfolio. Their 36-project track record with EUR 15.2M in funding gives them an execution credibility rare for an SME of their size. For consortium builders, they offer a combination of wireless/network engineering depth and cross-sector application experience that larger telecom players or pure-research labs typically cannot match with the same agility.
