6G-EARN, is a winning proposal from Open Call 2, submitted by EC BESSARION. G-Energy Learning (6G-EARN) is a research project developed by Energy Community Bessarion in the context of 6G-SANDBOX.
The project demonstrates how Federated Learning improves the forecasting accuracy of energy consumption and generation.
🌍 6G-EARN leads to more efficient and fair sharing of renewable sources, higher renewable energy utilization, and greater trust in shared-economy models.

6G-SANDBOX Announces Large-Scale RIS Trials in 2026! The announcement was first made today by Carles Navarro Manchón (Keysight Technologies) during WSA2025, at the closing of his keynote speech “Overview of past and future 6G Technologies trials.” For more details, read the full Press Release and read all the relevant infromation here
he 6G-SANDBOX project is proud to welcome the ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications as a partner in advancing the future of 6G connectivity – across Europe and into space! ESA brings unique expertise and hardware, developed under its Space for 5G/6G and Sustainable Connectivity Strategic Programme Line of the ARTES programme, strengthening our large-scale testbed infrastructure.
Together, we aim to:
ESA and 6G-SANDBOX project are inviting research groups, companies and operators engaged in NTN R&D to participate in the upcoming trials. For details, reach out to email 5G@esa.int or go to https://6g-sandbox.eu/6g-sandbox-large-scale-ntn-experimentation/ .

In June 2025, a Journal paper was issued in IEEE Network.
This study compares the performance of three multipath protocols:
• Multi-connection Tactile Internet Protocol (MTIP)
• Multipath TCP (MPTCP)
• Multipath QUIC (MPQUIC)
The tests were conducted using the 6G-SANDBOX hashtagMalaga platform, leveraging its advanced multi connectivity capabilities.

At EuCNC & 6G Summit, Filip Ivanovic from Keysight Technologies) presented the 6G-SANDBOX paper “Developing Adaptive Calibration and Benchmarking Methods for 6G Performance Measurement”, building on insights from Deliverable 5.3 ‘Intermediate Report on KPI and KVI Validation’.
This paper explores the development of an Adaptive Calibration methodology, which can be used to provide context to results in the 6G space so that to ensure platform agnosticism. Exemplary results of its application in the 6G-SANDBOX project, exploiting four (4) different and geographically dispersed experimentation platforms, are presented hereby.

The paper “Developing Adaptive Calibration and Benchmarking Methods for 6G Performance Measurement – Implementation and Conclusions from 6G-SANDBOX” presented by Filip Ivanovic (Keysight) at EuCNC 2025 & 6G Summit during the OPE1 – Measurements and Management of 5G/6G Networks session, is directly derived from insights in the 6G-SANDBOX Deliverable 5.3: Intermediate Report on KPI and KVI Validation. In 6G, the use of virtualized and Service-Based Architectures (SBA) makes performance results harder to interpret compared to previous generations. To ensure meaningful experimentation, unbiased by the limitations of specific B5G/6G platforms, 6G-SANDBOX developed an Adaptive Calibration methodology. This approach enables platform-agnostic performance assessment and has been validated across four geographically distributed testbeds.
