Imagine a city where the internet is so fast and reliable that doctors can perform remote surgery or robots can manage traffic in real-time without any lag. This project tests these futuristic 6G tools in real streets across Europe to see what actually works for people. It is like a massive dress rehearsal for the next generation of mobile networks before they are rolled out to everyone.
Current mobile networks cannot support the extreme low latency and high capacity required for advanced applications like the metaverse or remote surgery. Businesses lack real-world data on how these 6G services perform with actual users in diverse urban settings.
A series of 13 large-scale trial deployments including Rel 16 and Rel 17 mmWave networks and a technical assessment system to measure user value perception.
If you are a telemedicine provider dealing with connection delays during remote consultations — this project developed eHealth and Emergency use cases that use high-capacity, low-latency 6G networks to ensure stable medical data flow.
If you are a museum operator dealing with low visitor engagement — this project developed metaverse and Internet of Senses applications that create immersive digital experiences for tourists in urban environments.
If you are a city manager dealing with inefficient traffic and safety monitoring — this project developed 13 use cases involving cobots and massive twinning to improve urban liveability and security.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost models are provided; the project focuses on the sustainability and affordability of the deployed systems.
Yes, the project implemented full large-scale trials across 4 geographical clusters in Italy, Spain, Greece, and Romania using real users.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing agreements are not detailed, though the project involves a consortium of 29 partners including 16 industry members.
The project integrates commercial 5G infrastructures with advanced private systems, including Rel 16 and Rel 17 mmWave setups.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31, aiming to identify product/market fits for next-generation services.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 16 industrial partners (55% ratio) and 6 SMEs, suggesting a strong focus on commercial viability. Led by Ericsson, the group balances corporate power with 11 research and university entities across 6 countries, ensuring that the 13 use cases are grounded in both academic rigor and market needs.
