Peter STUCKMANNHead of Unit

Future Connectivity Systems

~1000 Participants, 14 Sessions, 67 Papers and 17 Posters

Keynotes• Matti Latva-aho: "Key drivers and research challenges for 6G“• Dan Kilper: "Intelligent Optical Systems for a 5G World“• Nicolas Demassieux: "6G. Why?“• Wen Tong: "6G: The Next Horizon“

Panels• CyberSecurity in 5G, including Verticals• OpenRAN, including Interoperability/Interworking with Vendor solutions• 5G for Verticals: building and exploiting synergies

Programme Highlights

5G global roll-out ongoing, but many challenges still ahead• Cybersecurity and European sovereignty• Verticals heterogeneity and the needs for strong business cases • Decoupling HW/SW, OpenRAN and synergies between vendors’ solutions

COVID-19, the key role of networks and the European recovery plan

The emergence of 6G with new performances / environmental efficiency / “intelligence”, transforming the value chains

The Smart Networks and Services partnership (2021-2027)building the path towards 6G while tackling these technological, societal and economical challenges
