On October 14–15, Giovanni D’Amore from Keysight Technologies participated in the 6G-RIC (Research and Innovation Cluster) project meeting held in Berlin. The 6G-RIC initiative brings together 32 research groups from 20 universities and research institutions, supported by over 60 associate partners from academia, industry, and the public sector. This collaborative effort is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under the “Souverän. Digital. Vernetzt.” research program.
During the event, Giovanni delivered a presentation titled Is Wireless Layer Testing Dead? How 6G Will Change the Way We Test Networks. He highlighted the 6G-SANDBOX trial network as a robust framework for cross-layer, AI-driven, system-wide validation. The presentation also showcased the 6G-SANDBOX advancements in digital twin technology, artificial intelligence, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), along with a preview of the upcoming large-scale trials involving RIS and non-terrestrial networks (NTN).

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.
