On the second day of the 5G Forum conference, Vicomtech researcher Dr. Sergio Cabrero, coordinator of the project, presented 6G DIFERENTE with his presentation ‘Researching the future of mobile communications’.

6G DIFERENTE is an approach to the design of a comprehensive 5G network architecture, evolvable to 6G technologies, bringing together the experience and capabilities of 3 leading technology centres with extensive experience in 6G: Vicomtech, i2cat and Gradiant. Moreover, 6G DIFERENTE is developed thanks to the support and funding of CDTI Innovation.

A great opportunity for both Vicomtech as a centre and 6G DIFERENTE as a project to showcase their capabilities in 5G and 6G network innovation environments, taking a step further into the future of telecommunications.
