In this episode, we delve into the highlights of the recent co-creation event held at the 5G Techritory forum 2023 in Riga, Latvia. Titled "5G for verticals: from large-scale trials to adoption, driving economic value in Europe," the event brought together key players from the 5GPPP and the SNS Joint Undertaking to discuss the development and practical implementation of mobile technologies. Listeners will gain insights into the experiences shared by members of the 6G-IA regarding trials aimed at validating vertical use cases. Additionally, industrial players provide valuable perspectives on their practical experiences in bringing 5G technology into the real world. Tune in to discover how 5G technology is shaping various sectors and driving economic growth in Europe. Moderators: Raffaele de Peppe , 6G-IA Governing Board Vice-chair, Vertical TF Chair, TIM Carles Antón-Haro, SNS-JU Governing Board Member, Trials WG Chair, CTTC
In this podcast episode we discuss with Manuel Lorenzo, Head of the Technology & Innovation of Ericsson (Spain), the “Innovation Trends in I4.0 enabled by 5G and Beyond Networks”. Manuel has been very active over the past 30 years (since 1994) in the development of wireless networks technology, while currently is leading research and innovation activities associated with the application of wireless networks in industry vertical sectors and the creation of the associated ecosystem to deliver more innovations. On this topic, Manuel recently led the preparation of a White Article under the auspices of the 5G PPP Technology Board, entitled “Innovation Trends in I4.0 enabled by 5G and Beyond Networks”. In the postcast, Manuel discusses with Prof. Ioannis Tomkos (University of Patras, Greece) the key findings of the studies that are reported in this White Article, focusing on the major trends of I4.0 evolution in the near and mid-term future, what makes 5G/6G so relevant for I4.0, concrete cases of I4.0 initiatives embracing 5G technologies, the role of Non-Public 5G Networks, the most impactful 5G networks innovations for I4.0, what can be expected more as we proceed towards 6G and which specific aspects of the foreseen evolution from 5G to 6G are expected to further propel I4.0 innovations.
In this podcast, we have the pleasure to discuss with Dr. Dan Kilper who is a Professor of Future Communication Networks at Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) and the Director of the CONNECT Centre (since 2021). In the past, among other positions, he was a Member of Technical Staff, at Nokia Bell Labs (USA). In his current role at CONNECT, he is also serving as coordinator of the “6G-XCEL” project that belongs to the group of 27 new research & innovation projects, funded under the SNS JU EC Program, Phase-2 and started running on Jan 1st 2024. It is worth emphasizing that 6G-XCEL is the only project that engages partners from both EU & USA on a collaboration about 6G networks and in particular the use of AI across the end-to-end 6G networks that include the RAN, the optical x-haul and the Core network. In this episode, the discussion between Prof. Kilper and Prof. Ioannis Tomkos (of University of Patras, Greece), focused around the role of AI in future 6G networks, the objectives and targets of 6G-XCEL Project, the importance of such EU-US cooperation on 6G, the partners that comprise the consortium, the ways that this project is planned to engage with other organization and projects and on how the outcomes of the project can have a long-lasting impact.
In this podcast, Mr. Barani and Dr. Mohr, explain how provide information about European R&I activities for 5G networks have been designed, their original objectives, and how the collected experience from these activities has led to the creation of the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU). They explain what are the key goals of the SNS JU, discuss the current progress of the Programme, how it should be evaluated after its completion and what could be future steps following the SNS JU. Their significant experience for over 30 years, serving in R&I activities in the public and the private sector, provide key insights related to European research priorities in the domain of connectivity and service provision.
Hear from Prof. Eric Burger how North America is pursuing a leadership role in 6G wireless technology over the next decade, with a strong emphasis on research and development, standardization and technology commercialization. Recent collaboration activities between USA & EU on the topic of 6G networks as well as future prospects are also discussed.
