6G Devices

Expected Outcome: The primary outcome of this work is a widely endorsed European roadmap outlining options based on device complexity, target markets, and connectivity capabilities, accompanied by a strategy to revitalize European industrial capabilities in 5G/6G devices, which: • Address in priority part of the end device market, notably that related to vertical specific use-cases with the objective of generating huge downstream production volumes, beyond the sole infrastructure segment. • Support the telecom industry, through evidence-based recommendations and requirements, towards the provision of end-to-end capabilities serving key vertical markets with comprehensive EU offers across the value chain. • Support to the SNS JU and the EC to define and implement measures aiming at strengthening the position of Europe’s industry in the global 6G devices value chain. • Support the microelectronics industry through evidence-based recommendations and requirements on how to achieve the volumes it needs from an economic perspective. • Support the emergence of a complete European device-network ecosystem fuelling the deployment of 5G SA solutions towards 6G, as examples like 5G Redcap come with SA connectivity requirements. • Identify key and priority vertical use cases which could be early adopters of such device capabilities, in particular looking into novel 6G potential markets. These use-cases will have to be characterized in terms of key device requirements (storage,…
