Imagine a world where drones don't just fly and talk, but also charge their batteries and process data through the air. This technology turns the wireless signal into a multi-tool that handles communication, sensing, and power all at once. It's like upgrading a simple walkie-talkie to a system that acts as a radar, a power bank, and a supercomputer simultaneously.
Current wireless networks struggle to provide simultaneous high-speed data, precise location tracking, and power delivery, especially for mobile drones. This forces operators to rely on heavy batteries and separate, expensive hardware for sensing and communication.
A unified radio platform that combines communication, computation, sensing, and wireless power transfer. This includes intelligent reconfigurable surfaces and optimized waveforms tested in UAV corridors.
If you are a drone fleet operator dealing with short battery life and signal loss in urban areas — this project developed a system that provides wireless power transfer and better positioning. This allows drones to stay in the air longer and navigate aerial corridors more safely.
If you are an emergency response agency dealing with chaotic disaster zones where infrastructure is destroyed — this project developed a JCCSP platform for Public Protection and Disaster Relief. It provides situational awareness and edge computing to coordinate rescue missions in real-time.
If you are an urban network provider dealing with the high cost of installing thousands of wired sensors — this project developed intelligent surfaces and wireless power transfer. This enables a network of IoT devices that can be powered and managed remotely without cables.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided.
The project tests the technology in large-scale Proof-of-Concepts and testbed facilities, including outdoor venues with UAVs and IoT devices, suggesting a path toward industrial scaling.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified, though the project involves 12 partners across 8 countries.
The project uses 5G waveforms as a basis for its JCCSP capabilities and aligns with the open radio access network (O-RAN) architecture for integration.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, meaning commercial readiness would likely follow the conclusion of these tests in late 2026.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with a 58% industry ratio comprising 7 industrial partners and 3 SMEs. This strong private-sector presence, combined with 4 universities and 1 research center across 8 countries, indicates a high drive for commercialization rather than purely academic research.
