galileomartel — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 10:18:18 +0000

On the 20^th of October 2022, Affordable5G conducted an in-person dissemination workshop on the premises of project partner National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) at the Evripos Campus, Psaxna, Dirfies Messapies, Greece. Here below, a brief report on the event:

After an introductory speech of Prof. Panagiotis Trakadas (Technical Manager of Affordable5G and Associate Professor in the Department of Port Management and Shipping), who outlined the project’s key pillars and technical novelties, all of the project outcomes were discussed within five thematic sessions (click on each session title to read/download the slides presented):

5G Key Enabling Technologies
Prof. Panagiotis Gkonis (NKUA, Department of Digital Industry Technologies)

Enabling 5G/6G Wireless Communications for Supporting Maritime Applications
Dr. Nikolaos Nomikos (NKUA, Department of Port Management and Shipping)

The Architectural Approach of Affordable 5G
Prof. Lambros Sarakis (NKUA, Department of Digital Industry Technologies)

Machine Learning Techniques for Private 5G Networks
Dr. Sotirios Spantideas (NKUA, Department of Port Management and Shipping)

Potential Use Cases for Private 5G Networks
Prof. Panagiotis Gkonis (NKUA, Department of Digital Industry Technologies)

Students from the Departments of Port Management and Shipping and Digital Industry Technologies of NKUA were invited, resulting in a remarkable and significant engagement opportunity, as the outcomes of Affordable5G are directly related to various applications in the scientific areas of 5G private deployments in smart ports, Industry 4.0 applications and other connected topics/sectors.

The workshop counted 100 students attending, getting the opportunity to be informed on all key technical points of Affordable5G and discuss the aforementioned related applications – Certificates of attendance were issued to all students present to the sessions.

Workshop on Novel Antenna Designs and Manufacturing Challenges for 6G Communications

gabrielemartel — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Recently, the research community and the standardisation bodies have started to discuss what the Sixth-Generation (6G) of wireless communications should be. It is envisioned that 6G mobile communications revolution the communication sector by proposing novel communication paradigms, and novel uses to connect not only people or devices -as in 5G- but providing the network with intelligence able to identify, localise or sense their environment.

Novel antenna designs should be envisioned for 6G systems, as they should operate at higher frequencies and different environments. Besides, they should interact with a great diversity of materials and should be low-cost and sustainable for massive production. In this line, novel antennas using low-cost materials and advanced manufacturing techniques have been investigated in the last years, and some interesting solutions have been recently proposed. Metasurfaces, intelligent reflective surfaces (IRS) and smart lenses can be found as promising candidates for the next generation systems at the 6G radio interface. Additive manufacturing techniques like inkjet-printing or 3D printing in novel materials, together with advanced technologies for wave guiding in 6G have recently attracted increased interest for the new systems. As the systems increase their operating frequency, several challenges arise from the fabrication and the antenna design. In this context, the availability of materials whose complex permittivity can be engineered for an optimal design of 6G devices and applications pays also an important role.

EuCNC & 6G Summit

gabrielemartel — Mon, 06 Jun 2022 22:00:00 +0000

The 2022 EuCNC & 6G Summit builds on putting together two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC (European Conference on Networks and Communications), supported by the European Commission, and the 6G Summit, originated from the 6G Flagship programme in Finland, one of the very first in its area. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society and by the European Association for Signal Processing, and focuses on all aspects of telecommunications ranging from 5G deployment and mobile IoT to 6G exploration and future communications systems and networks, including experimentation and testbeds, and applications and services. It brings together cutting-edge research and world-renown industries and businesses, globally attracting in the last years more than 1 300 delegates from more than 40 countries all over the world, to present and discuss the latest results, and an exhibition with more than 70 exhibitors, for demonstrating the technology developed in the area, namely within research projects from EU R&I programmes.

Affordable5G will be present with a booth on the event’s exhibition floor, in collaboration with fellow EU-funded project FUDGE-5G – Come visit us at booth 39!

one6G Summit

gabrielemartel — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 08:45:00 +0000

The first edition of the one6G Summit aims at establishing a platform that will address the latest 6G progress by presenting valuable viewpoints of policy makers and top experts from industry and academia. The event will shed light on some of the latest research on 6G enabling technologies, such as integrated sensing and communication, THz, AI, cloud computing, IIoT, etc.

5G IA Webinar ‘Smart Networks and Services for Verticals’

gabrielemartel — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 12:30:00 +0000

The 5G PPP partnership has been a successful collaborative research effort to create and apply 5G technology with a European footprint. in this partnership, Large industry, SMEs and Academia have collaborated to shape the 5G building blocks, influence standardisation and trial meaningful use cases for society and the economy. A central part of the 5G PPP was working closely together with vertical industries and Memorandum of Understandings have been set in place with vertical industry associations such as 5GAA, ERTICO, ESA, PSCE, ECSO and others to ensure participation and dialogue.

Looking forward, a new private partnership is about to start to drive 5G evolution and create 6G technology. This partnership is again an initiative bringing together industry and the European Commission and will be called “Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU)”. Almost 1 Billion euro will be made available to a large set of players, including all economic sectors, to shape network technologies and services of the future serving digital transformation of our society and economy. In this new partnership, vertical industries will play a central role and with this webinar we would like to concentrate on the opportunities for Verticals in smart networks and services.

This webinar is intended to inform all interest parties of the benefits of participation in Smart Networks and Services, the likely structure and scope of the first Work Program and engage interested parties in an interactive discussion about the benefits of new mobile technologies and services.”
