6G Telco Cloud and Service Provision Enablers
Funds one project to build an evolvable 6G telco-cloud experimental infrastructure that hosts and validates network functions and AI/Compute/Security-as-a-Service.
The full proposal is capped at 70 pages under a page-limit exception for RIAs submitted in Stream B and Stream C. Beyond the standard Excellence, Impact and Implementation criteria, the Impact section here also carries two extra sub-criteria: how much the proposal contributes to the overall SME objective, and how much it contributes to the IKOP objectives (industrial know-how and operational pract…
This topic wants a multi-provider, multi-technology infrastructure that hosts and manages 6G network functions and a range of "as a service" offerings — AI, compute, security and sensing-and-communication among them — going beyond plain connectivity, and validates 6G telco cloud architecture end to end. It should extend past European initiatives like IPCEI-CIS and integrate IoT/device, connectivity and service-delivery experiments across multiple providers.
