Imagine a network that thinks for itself, automatically fixing problems before they happen. Instead of one giant brain in a distant data center, it spreads intelligence across every device and tower. It's like upgrading from a remote-controlled car to a fleet of self-driving vehicles that coordinate with each other in real-time.
Current 5G networks cannot meet the extreme requirements of future apps like holographic presence or massive industrial robot swarms. They rely too heavily on centralized control and manual management.
A programmable 6G architecture featuring AI-driven management, secure crowdsourcing AI, and Non-Terrestrial Network connectivity. It includes 6 total deliverables focused on these architectural shifts.
If you are a factory operator dealing with lag in robotic coordination — this project developed a distributed AI architecture that enables collaborative robots and drones to communicate instantly. This ensures high reliability for Industrial IoT services.
If you are a provider dealing with the high cost of manual network tuning — this project developed zero-touch operations that automate every aspect of the network. This reduces the need for human intervention in maintenance.
If you are a delivery company dealing with connectivity gaps in remote areas — this project developed Non-Terrestrial Network connectivity. This allows drones to stay connected via satellite or high-altitude platforms.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not provided as this is a research and innovation project.
The project is currently validating innovations through 3 representative extreme use cases in lab settings and 5 upgraded 5G testbeds, indicating a path toward industrial scale.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not listed, though the project focuses on an open and programmable architecture.
The project uses 5 existing 5G testbeds and upgrades them to support 6G architectural elements, ensuring a transition path from 5G to 6G.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-06-30, with 6G deployment generally expected in the next decade.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with an industry ratio of 62% (8 industry partners, including 4 SMEs). With 13 partners across 10 countries and a history of participation in 44 previous 5G-PPP projects, the group possesses significant technical maturity and market reach in the EU and Israel.
