The Open Source 6G Networks for Connecting the Unconnected Workshop belongs to the international Open Research Infrastructures and Toolkits for 6G (OpenRIT-6G) initiative, which was established in 2023 to support the vision of an Open 6G for all.
Our Open6GNet activity focuses on connecting the unconnected, as outlined in the IMT-2030 vision, by leveraging accessible, low-cost, open-source technologies and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. The aim is to enable ecosystem players from academia and industry to create self-sovereign, customized end-to-end networks for diverse application domains. These networks will be based on a rapidly growing suite of open, modular 5G and 6G components and related toolkits.
This workshop is supported by the German 6G Hubs Open6GHub and 6G-RIC, funded by German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
