NGI Sargasso is proud to announce one new member of our InnoConnect Hub: 6G-REFERENCE, the European project developing 6G hardware enablers for cell free coherent communications and sensing in urban areas.
As usual, this collaboration has been signed through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), in which NGI Sargasso, represented by our coordinator, European Science Foundation (ESF), and 6G-REFERENCE, represented by theirs, Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC), will provide visibility and promotion to the outreach activities of both projects around efforts and contributions to ICT Standards to the projects’ extensive network of stakeholder communities and main digital channels and outlets. We can also cooperate on joint webinars or any other event of mutual interest to keep building a more digital Europe under the Next Generation Internet (NGI) values of trust, security and inclusion, with a human-centric approach.
6G-REFERENCE: Developing Integrated Circuit and Antenna Component Solutions and Deploying 6G Hardware Enablers
6G-REFERENCE envisions a future where urban areas are equipped with sustainable solutions that can cope with the ever-increasing traffic demands and population densification, while providing disruptive capabilities like the materialization of the internet of sense. 6G-REFERENCE will develop integrated circuit and antenna component solutions, including dynamic frequency filtering and modulated radiation, to enable efficient spectrum coexistence schemes. The project will also deploy practical hardware enablers in terms of low complexity, cost and power consumption that could end up constituting a reference design for future 6G-distributed radios.
Part of the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU), 6G-REFERENCE is formed by ten research and industrial partners from eight European countries coordinated by Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC): University of Twente, CEA Leti, imec, ETH Zürich, University of Birmingham, Ericsson, Anteral, AUSTRALO and ACP AG.
NGI Sargasso: Building Bridges Across Continents for the Future of the Internet
NGI Sargasso promotes the developing of a unique collaborative ecosystem to harvest Europe-United States and/or Europe-Canada technology breakthroughs that aim to revolutionize the Next Generation Internet (NGI) technologies, services and standards. We also aim to contribute to the evolution of the Internet according to a human-centric approach of the Internet commons, following to the NGI initiative values of openness, inclusivity and sustainability.
We have funded +50 projects of NGI Sargasso Innovators with a total budget of €4.8 million in the following topics:
- Trust.
- Data sovereignty.
- Digital identity.
- Internet architecture & renovation.
- Decentralized technology.
- Interoperability & standardization.
- New internet technology.
The NGI Sargasso InnoConnect Hub
The InnoConnect Hub is NGI Sargasso’s collaborative space where we proudly present a series of strategic partnerships with leading Open Source organizations.
Our aim is to foster knowledge-sharing, and build a stronger network within the global tech community. In doing so, we commit to cross-disseminating important updates, trends, and developments across our respective platforms, while also seeking opportunities to co-host webinars and events. By converging our expertise and outreach, these alliances will open the door to innovative endeavors, ushering in a more inclusive and forward-thinking digital ecosystem.
Our members are: StandIC.eu, FORGING, CrabNebula, MyData, 2DXCEL, CO-INVESTIN, FIERCE, and the NGI-funded projects NGI Search, NGI Local for Local and NGI Enrichers.
