EuCNC & 6G summit in Grenoble to explore pathways to 6G applications
Summary
The hybrid conference, “Connectivity for a Sustainable World”, will accommodate both in-person and remote attendance for four days of keynotes, panels, work sessions and exhibits. The event is sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society and the EU Association for Signal Processing and will be held in the WTC Grenoble Convention Centre. “The telecom sector is an enabler for a sustainable world,” said Emilio Calvanese Strinati, New-6G Program Director at CEA-Leti, which organised the conference. “Designed to be energy efficient, with low carbon footprints, telecoms will be a key enabler to reduce CO2 emissions in the ICT sectors. For example, 6G targets multi-sensorial virtual reality, e.g., the metaverse, and remote work and telepresence, which enable people to interact without travelling.” The conference also will explore new smart network technologies and architectures needed to dramatically enhance the energy efficiency and sustainability of networks to manage major traffic growth, while keeping electromagnetic fields under strict safety limits.
