On October 28th, a delegation from the State Secretariat for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructures visited the “José María Troya Linero” Institute of Software Technology and Engineering at the University of Malaga. The aim of the visit was to show the research infrastructure Victoria Network and the 5G+Tactile and 6G-SANDBOX projects. Our project coordinator Michael Dieudonne guided them through the new Keysight room in the Ada Byron building, and they also visited the Keysight facilities at the University of Málaga, gaining a close-up view of the research advancements.

On the 30th-31st of October , the 𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝟲𝗚-𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗢𝗫 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 took place at the Universidad de Málaga in Málaga, Spain.
We extend our thanks to all partners for their insightful presentations and contributions to the discussions, which have been instrumental in progressing the project.
On the 15th-17th of October 2024, the IEEE Future Networks World Forum was held in Dubai. in this context. Isaam Maaz from Keysight, presented during Symposium on 6G Communications their research portfolio, focusing, among others, on 6G-SANDBOX testbeds, Digital twins and experimentation opportunities.
‘6G networks are expected to capitalize on high-performance computing, quantum computing, AI/ML, etc. Resource management will be crucial within 6G, and the network complexity will pose a challenge due to the very diverse applications and services, such as ultra-low latency, the growing demand for high positioning accuracy, dense heterogeneous architectures, machine-to-machine communication, the embodiment of sensing in communication systems, and contactless exchange of data, etc.’
On the 21st – 23rd of October, the IEEE CAMAD 2024 was successfully held in Athens. 6G-SANDBOX, technically sponsored the conference, along with other projects. Additionally, 6G-SANDBOX co-organised a workshop titled ‘Empowering 6G Networks: First Workshop on Advancements in Research Infrastructures, Adaptive Frameworks and Global Architectural Evolution (Athena 2024). This workshop was chaired Dr. Harilaos Koumaras from NCSR Demokritos – Future Communication Networks – FRONT Research Group. The workshop had announced Call for Papers, and 19 papers were accepted and presented. Our partners, INFOLYSiS, NCSR ‘DEMOKRITOS’, OTE and LENOVO actively participated supporting the project with the following actions:
1. Demo Booth – NCSR “DEMOKRITOS”, INFOLYSiS and OTE Group of Companies (HTO) held a demo booth, where the B5G Athens Experimentation Platform was presented by George Makropoulos and Dr. Harilaos Koumaras.
2. Conference papers: The following conference papers were accepted and presented:
On October 24th, our partner, the Centre for Wireless Innovation (CWI) | Queen’s University Belfast will host their Annual Symposium. This event will showcase the future of hashtag#Antennas and hashtag#Propagation and their pivotal role in advancing 6G technologies. Topics will cover a wide range of applications, including Wireless Communications, Sensing, Imaging, and the Internet of Things (IoT). During session Session 1, ANTENNAS & PROPAGATION, Dmitry Zelenchuk, will present RIS and antennas and QUB’s work in 6G-SANDBOX.
