Objective of Proposal Idea: The goal is to initiate standards and framework activities to develop a technical reference architecture framework for an open 6G device ecosystem which provide all the capabilities of current smartphones, together with a fully secure digital wallet, trustworthy AI, and potentially also a router (e.g. for neighbourhood floating hotspots), all enabled from open trusted hardware modules in the devices and using open source applications. The motivation is to move away from closed device ecosystems controlled by individual companies by enabling a new governance structure based on open source development on the new 6G connectivity platform. The consumer use case for[...]
