Hexa-X
Hexa-X is the European flagship 6G research initiative, working to connect the physical, digital, and human worlds through next-generation wireless. Qamcom contributes research on localisation, sensing, and network optimisation alongside Nokia, Ericsson, and partners across the continent.
Challenges
Connecting intelligence: AI/Machine Learning (ML) technologies need to be a vital and trusted tool for significantly improved efficiency and service experience, serving humans.
Network of networks: multiple types of resources need to be aggregated to create a digital ecosystem that grows more and more capable, intelligent, and heterogeneous, eventually creating a single network of networks.
Sustainability: energy-optimized digital infrastructure for a reduced global ICT environmental footprint, as well as delivering effective and sustainable digitization tools for global industry, society and policymakers.
Global service coverage: efficient and affordable solutions for global service coverage, connecting remote places.
Extreme experience: extreme bitrates, extremely low (imperceptible) latencies, seemingly infinite capacity, and precision localization and sensing.
Trustworthiness: ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of communications and delivering data privacy, operational resilience and security.
Value
Improve efficiency and resilience of the economy, promoting sustainable growth and creating meaningful jobs, supporting the transformation of Europe to a strong circular economy.
Solutions
Support future advances in artificial intelligence, machines that can transform data into reasoning and decisions that will help humans understand and act better in our world.
Objectives
Align and address UN and European Sustainable Development goals.
Expand the fundamental network design paradigm from mainly performance-oriented to both performance- and value-oriented.
