Imagine a giant digital playground where companies can test super-fast internet tools before selling them to the public. It's like a flight simulator for the next generation of mobile networks, making sure things like virtual reality work perfectly in the real world. This helps businesses avoid costly mistakes by trying their ideas in a safe, controlled environment first.
Companies struggle to test advanced 5G and 6G applications in real-world settings without spending millions on their own infrastructure. This creates a gap between laboratory prototypes and successful commercial deployment.
A set of 3 testbeds and 3 large-scale infrastructures, along with an AI-as-a-Service tool for network optimization and a library of security controls.
If you are an emergency response agency dealing with communication lags during crises — this project developed large-scale test infrastructures that allow for the validation of high-capacity networks. This ensures critical data reaches first responders without delay.
If you are an XR content creator dealing with laggy virtual experiences — this project developed a system for Extended Reality (XR) using edge computing. This allows for seamless merging of physical and virtual worlds for the end user.
If you are a network provider dealing with the complexity of 6G transition — this project developed reusable Network Applications and AI-driven management. This simplifies how new services are created and deployed across different network environments.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the testbeds is not mentioned, although the project is designed to be open and accessible to 3rd party experiments.
Yes, the project focuses on large-scale field trials and the deployment of 3 testbeds and 3 large-scale infrastructures across Greece, Norway, and Spain to ensure industrial viability.
Based on available project data, the project promotes open architectures and reusable components, but specific licensing terms for the resulting IP are not detailed.
It builds on the 5G Service-Based Architecture and uses AI-driven network management and enhanced slicing to ensure interoperability.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-06-30, aiming to cultivate the ground for 6G through the validation of Evolved 5G technologies.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with a 70% industry ratio comprising 14 companies, including 10 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, spread across 8 countries, suggests that the project is focused on market adoption and practical utility rather than purely academic research.
