Citypassenger offers comprehensive expertise in software-defined edge networking infrastructure tailored for 6G research, standardisation, and experimental validation. Our capabilities support both technology development (Stream B) and experimental infrastructure deployment (Stream C) within the SNS JU framework.
Programmable Edge Infrastructure: We provide proven L2-L7 networking capabilities through uCPE platforms enabling flexible PoC development, technology integration, and experimental validation. Our solution supports dynamic network configuration, programmable service provisioning, and granular traffic management essential for 6G architecture concepts and KPI/KVI validation.
Secure Network Slicing and Tunneling: Leveraging Wireguard protocol, our platform delivers end-to-end secured network slicing and site-to-site tunneling, providing isolation and QoS capabilities required for multi-tenant experimental scenarios. This enables researchers to create independent experimental environments with configurable network parameters on shared infrastructure.
Multi-Connectivity and Resilience: Our expertise includes intelligent management of multiple connectivity links with load balancing, failover, and multi-path optimization—critical for 6G ultra-reliable low-latency communications and resilient network architectures.
AI-Native Architecture Support: Our platform architecture facilitates integration of AI-based network optimization, energy efficiency algorithms, and self-healing mechanisms.
Security-Hardened Foundation: our platform provides minimized attack surface and trustworthy operation essential for experimental infrastructure requiring secure, reliable operation across distributed research activities.
Remote Orchestration: centralized management, monitoring, and zero-touch provisioning supporting community-accessible experimental infrastructure and reproducible experiments.
Citypassenger is a technology provider specializing in software-defined enterprise networking solutions, headquartered in Courtaboeuf, France, with offices in Montreal, Casablanca, and Montpellier. Founded in 2001, we develop programmable network infrastructure platforms combining secure edge computing, advanced connectivity management, and cloud-based orchestration. Our core expertise spans L2-L7 networking, VPN technologies, multi-site interconnection, SD-WAN, and security-hardened system architecture. We serve enterprise customers across multiple verticals including automotive networks, smart cities, restaurants, and territorial connectivity, providing flexible, secure, and remotely manageable network infrastructure at the edge between LAN/WLAN and WAN environments. Our R&D team of engineers and PhDs maintains close relationships with universities and research centers, actively participating in European collaborative research projects. We are currently a technical partner in the CELTIC-NEXT RAI6GREEN project, contributing to the development of robust, AI-native, and energy-efficient 6G networks. Citypassenger holds Wi-Fi Alliance certification and contributes to open-source communities, demonstrating our commitment to standardization and collaborative innovation in next-generation telecommunications infrastructure.
