Expected Outcome:
The main outcome will be the availability of an evolvable 6G telco cloud and service provision experimental infrastructure for the duration of the SNS programme that covers relevant capabilities to:
- Develop a multi-provider and multi-technology system that hosts and manages network functions, considering key 6G features like deterministic networking, as well as functions beyond connectivity (e.g., AI as a service, Compute as a Service, Security as a Service, ISAC as a service, etc.), integrated into the telco system or independent from the telco system, and any other application or capability as a service.
- Validate/demonstrate 6G telco cloud and 6G architecture (as developed or under development in the scope of the SNS JU), 6G technologies for service provision and systems as part of a representative end-to-end infrastructure, building open-source principles with a high potential to be used by European commercial and operational networks.
- Take advantage of and extend results/outcomes from past and ongoing European Initiatives e.g. the IPCEI-CIS, the Cluster 4 activities on advanced computing and big data and the anticipated potential Cluster 4 initiatives on large scale pilots, with the clear target to provide 6G solutions for telco cloud and service provision; Develop synergies with other European and national projects.
- Validate/demonstrate feasibility of
