Objective of Proposal Idea:
The idea is to use 5G/6G, Satellite, Wireline telecommunications systems, and sensors in conjunction with the Meteorological services to develop an alert system that uses AI to assist citizens caught up in a weather emergency. For example, in the case of a heat wave, a fire or a severe drought, data would be sent to the emergency services, first responders, civil defence and the fire brigade. The AI system would be used with drones, GPS/GNSS and sensors to predict where the casualties are located and would assist paramedics to predict and anticipate what injuries they might have and help the[...]
Objective of Proposal Idea:
The idea is to design and test an innovative and more modern type of telecommunications network. Agentic AI and front-end wireless modules integrated with fixed or moveable modular data centres located at the core and the edge of the network would enable newer cutting edge applications to be developed while at the same time preventing network outages in the event of lack of power, a cyber security attack or from unfavourable weather conditions. In this case data would be disaggregated across the data centres and base stations. These data centres would have energy storage capabilities and be connected to and[...]
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[...]
