6G-SANDBOX DEMOS in 5G FORUM 2024

The 7th edition of the 5G FORUM, titled “Where 5G Leaders Meet,” started today, 6th of May, in Sevilla, Spain. Our partners TelefónicaUniversidad de Málaga, and Nokia invite you to visit their booths and attend the demos! 👇

𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗳𝗼́𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮 will showcase a demo using Data Analytics using NWDAF combined with LLM technology for human interaction with network data. This technology will be available to Experimenters using 6G-SANDBOX platforms for running network experiments.

𝗡𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗮 will showcase the Owl, which is an immersive communication application developed by Nokia that teleports people from any place on Earth. The owl is involved within the 6GSandbox EU project activities as a eXtended Reality (XR) use case. This use case features is representative of most of the XR high requirements in terms of network connection that are dealt in 6GSandbox: bidirectional real time communication, high bandwidth, strong uplink, low end-to-end delay, multi-modal streams and even edge processing.

𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗮 will run demos to reflect the work at Victoria Network from 5G towards the future of 6G.
