December 2, 2025 SUNRISE-6G 4th Plenary Meeting Highlights Month 24 Progress On December 2-3, 2025, the SUNRISE-6G consortium met in Barcelona, Spain, for its 4th Plenary Meeting, hosted by IQU. The two-day event marked Month 24 of the project, offering partners a key opportunity to review progress, share updates, and plan the next phase of activities. Discussions focused on project management, architecture design, development of the 6G experimentation framework and 6G library, platform interconnection and federation, updates on exploitation, dissemination, and standardisation and the execution of the SUNRISE-6G use cases such as the Cross-domain Metaverse and Collaborative Robots for Mining, reflecting the project’s hands-on progress and readiness for real-world experimentation. Partners also reviewed feedback from the mid-term review to ensure the project remains on track and continues to deliver high impact. eBOS, represented by R&D Project Manager Gianna Avgousti, played a central role in both technical and communication activities. Beyond leading dissemination, communication, and hackathon efforts, eBOS designed and developed the SUNRISE-6G Experimentation Portal and upgraded and integrated our own state-of-the-art 5G/6G testbed across 14 sites in Europe. We also deployed our AI-driven mitigation framework against cyberattacks on the eBOS testbed. The portal and testbed functionalities, including our AI-driven cyber-attack mitigation framework, will be openly accessible via the SUNRISE-6G Experimentation Portal through the SUNRISE-6G website, enabling broader use and collaboration across the 6G community. Additionally, eBOS oversees Quality Assurance to ensure the project delivers high-quality, impactful results. The meeting concluded with renewed momentum, strong collaboration, and clear plans for the next milestones, reinforcing the project’s commitment to open, federated, and AI-native 6G experimentation.

October 29, 2025 ENVELOPE – Evaluation and Validation of Connected Mobility in Real Open Systems Beyond 5GS On October 21st and 22nd 2025, the project ENVELOPE, entitled Evaluation and Validation of Connected Mobility in Real Open Systems Beyond 5GS’, held its 5th physical plenary meeting in Athens, Greece, hosted by COSMOTE. This 36-month EU-funded Innovation Action, funded under the HORIZON Europe SNS programme, officially started on January 1st, 2024. The meeting was chaired and hosted by Mrs. Fotini Setaki, representing Cosmote. The meeting was attended by the project’s 23 partners and featured partners’ presentations on the project’s progress, technical developments and future plans. Partners also discussed the project’s work plan, challenges, and implementation schedules. 5G Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) services include a wide range of digital solutions enabled by 5G networks. Yet, certain vertical sectors still have unique requirements that are not fully met. Although considerable progress has been achieved, configuring both the network and the end devices to meet the needs of each vertical remains a complex, time-consuming process that requires close coordination at both technical and business levels. The ENVELOPE project aims to advance the 5G-Advanced architecture by shifting it toward a vertical-oriented approach, introducing dedicated interfaces tailored for CAM use cases. These interfaces are designed to (i) make network capabilities accessible to verticals, (ii) feed vertical-specific data back into the network, and (iii) allow verticals to dynamically request or adjust certain network parameters in an open, transparent, intuitive, and semi-automated way.
