By embracing this proactive approach, researchers and stakeholders take joint efforts to harness the transformative potential of B5G/6G technologies to address pressing global challenges, paving the way for a future where advanced connectivity not only enhances efficiency but also serves as a powerful tool for positive environmental, societal and economic impact.
Enhancement of infrastructure to support B5G/6G applications
The enhancement of infrastructure to support B5G/6G applications is a strategic goal of AMAZING-6G. This initiative involves a comprehensive and systematic upgrade of existing network or deployment of new infrastructures to accommodate the unique demands of B5G and 6G technologies. The focus lies not only on expanding network capacity and increasing data speeds but also on ensuring robustness, low-latency communication, and seamless connectivity for a diverse range of enablers with reference to requirements from selected verticals. This infrastructure development includes the deployment of advanced hardware components, such as communication equipment, servers, edge computing facilities, as well as software.
By investing in the enhancement of infrastructure, stakeholders such as vendors, operators, technology providers etc. aim to create a resilient foundation capable of supporting the unprecedented demands of B5G/6G applications, thereby fostering a more connected, responsive, and technologically advanced global communication ecosystem.
Introduction of technologies towards key societal benefits including sustainability and trustworthiness in different verticals
The introduction of technologies towards sustainability and trustworthiness in different domains represents a pivotal view in shaping a responsible and resilient technological landscape. This multifaceted initiative entails the integration of advanced technologies across diverse sectors, emphasizing their capacity to drive positive societal outcomes while upholding principles of sustainability and trust. From healthcare and energy to transportation and public safety, this strategic approach seeks to deploy innovative solutions that not only optimize efficiency but also prioritize sustainability, environmental responsibility and trustworthiness.
The project will aim to harness the power of cutting-edge technologies to address global challenges, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable, trustworthy, and inclusive future across various domains.
Deployment of large scale B5G infrastructure for trials and pilots with verticals
AMAZING-6G will deploy large-scale B5G/6G infrastructures for trials and pilots in the domains of Healthcare, Public Safety, Energy and Transport (including Rail). As a result the project is establishing extensive B5G/6G network infrastructures and technology enablers capable of accommodating trials and pilots on a grand scale. The deployment encompasses the installation of advanced hardware components, such as edge functionality, servers, end-user devices, drones, collaborative robots etc. (depending on the use case). These large-scale trials serve as critical testing grounds for B5G applications, enabling researchers and industry stakeholders to assess performance, identify challenges, and refine the technology for optimal functionality.
By undertaking this comprehensive deployment, the industry seeks to gain invaluable insights, accelerate technological advancements, and pave the way for the seamless integration of B5G networks on a larger scale.
Contribution to business models, standards and SNS programmatic actions related to sustainability, in connection to 6G-IA and SNS Working Groups
The contribution to business models, telecom standards and the SNS-JU programmatic actions related to sustainability, in connection to 6G-IA (6G Infrastructure Association), underscores a collaborative effort towards advancing sustainable practices among different stakeholders. This initiative involves active participation in standardization processes and the SNS-JU program to align technological developments with sustainability goals. AMAZING-6G will work closely with the 6G Infrastructure Association, engaging in discussions and actions that prioritize environmental responsibility, energy efficiency, and social considerations in the deployment of 6G technologies.
