  • The aim of this technology is to improve governance in urban ecosystems at European level.

Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) participates in a European consortium that will carry out large-scale experiments to implement innovative 6G applications based on different technologies, such as the metaverse, cobots (collaborative robots) or the Internet of Senses. “These applications could have a significant impact on the management and development of Europe’s urban ecosystems,” the university announced.

“In recent years, the implementation of 5G technology allows us to achieve higher speeds, reduce latency (the time it takes for data transmission) and improve reliability. But at the same time, the needs and applications of 6G networks have begun to be defined, and at this stage the current technology does not have sufficient performance to support the planned applications and applications. 6G” highlighted by UC3M. From this need arises the European research project TrialsNet, which will carry out large-scale use cases that can improve quality of life in urban environments. It will use advanced network technology to achieve progress in three areas: infrastructure, transport, safety and security. eHealth and emergencies; and culture, tourism and entertainment.

“Our goal is to test this state-of-the-art technology at the network infrastructure and application level, at scale and with a broad base of real users. We will implement it in museums, airports, hospitals and sports arenas to assess both the social benefits and effectiveness of this technology,” said Marco Gramaglia, professor at UC3M’s Department of Telematics Engineering and researcher on the project. “These advantages will allow developers to make the most of current technology and provide operators and manufacturers with a clear direction for future research in the evolution towards 6G. The result will be useful for researchers working in industry and academia, as it will allow them to understand what is needed for the next generation of mobile networks.
