European Hexa-X project begins development of 6G technology

The European Hexa-X project has started to develop 6G technology, which, in addition to faster and lower latency, also plans to realize various concepts such as information and communication technology (ICT), building a digital ecosystem of Network of Networks, and integrating artificial intelligence connectivity to bring users a new generation of communication experience.

The project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, will involve a number of companies and academic institutions, including Nokia, Ericsson, France Telecom Orange, Siemens, Telefonica, Telecom Italia, and Aalto, Finland. Telecom Italia, as well as Aalto University (Finland), Università di Pisa (Italy), Polytechnic University of Turin (Italy) and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain). Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, among others.

One of the participants, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, said that Hexa-X will face six major challenges, such as how to integrate with artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, and how to create a “digital ecosystem” that will connect all data resources, also known as a multi-network aggregator, to develop a digital infrastructure that fits perfectly into the future ICT framework. Digital infrastructure that fits perfectly into the framework of future ICT.

The term “information technology” is often referred to as the name of various technologies used to manage and process information, mainly referring to various information systems and applications. Optical communication, satellite communication, and other such technologies. Now these two fields are two different categories, but with the development of technology, the two fields will become closer and closer in the future, and gradually merge into one category, which will become “information and communication technology”.

The project will also discuss how to create effective and affordable network solutions with global coverage in a secure and reliable manner. Of course, the next generation of 6G has to achieve faster transmission rates and very low latency than the previous generation of technology.

Hexa-X will be carried out in three phases. The first phase defines the direction, finds the fallout and uses case and requirements analysis to find the required technologies; the second phase defines the framework of the project and develops the first solutions; the third phase will develop and demonstrate the final version of the solution, architecture and new technologies, and conduct some conceptual tests.

Hexa-X was launched on January 1 of this year and is scheduled to be completed in two and a half years. 6G devices will be available on the market probably in 2030.
