SINGAPORE, February 21, 2025 – Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) is strengthening Europe’s 6G research and innovation landscape by participating in two cutting-edge projects under the European Union’s (EU) 6G Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS-JU). These initiatives are set to accelerate the development of next-generation wireless technologies, with a strong focus on AI-driven management systems and sustainability.
Advancing 6G Innovation with AI and Sustainability
Keysight has long been at the forefront of 6G, AI, and metrology research in Europe, collaborating with service providers, technology vendors, research institutes, and universities. Through these partnerships, the company actively contributes to EU and government-funded research, innovation, and trial programs aimed at shaping the future of communication networks. By integrating AI-powered solutions, the new initiatives seek to enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon footprints, and optimize network operations for sustainability.
Participation in Key 6G SNS Projects
Keysight is involved in two major 6G SNS projects:
- UNITY-6G – Focused on developing an AI-native architecture that seamlessly integrates diverse network domains while prioritizing energy efficiency, scalability, and sustainability.
- 6G-VERSUS – Aimed at implementing sustainable technologies across six environmentally conscious industries, leveraging innovative 6G platforms to optimize data management and decision-making processes.
These projects, set to run for three years, expand Keysight’s role in European 6G initiatives, complementing its ongoing participation in four other SNS-JU projects: IMAGINE B5G, CENTRIC, 6G-SANDBOX, and 6G-SHINE. Keysight’s laboratories in Aalborg, Denmark, and Malaga, Spain, will play a crucial role in these efforts, providing cutting-edge solutions across multiple technology domains.
Driving Research, Development, and Industry Leadership
By offering advanced design, emulation, and test solutions, Keysight will help develop smart communication components, systems, and networks essential for the evolution of 6G. The participating academic institutions, research organizations, and commercial partners will rely on Keysight’s expertise in prototyping, proof-of-concept development, and testbed creation. This collaborative approach is expected to drive industrial leadership in 5G and 6G networks and services across Europe.
Commitment to Future-Proof Innovation
Giampaolo Tardioli, Vice President, 6G and Next Generation Technology at Keysight, highlighted the importance of these initiatives, stating: “We are excited to announce our participation in these two new groundbreaking projects, which aim to develop a highly sustainable and scalable AI-native architecture for 6G networks. Our advanced solution expertise will empower stakeholders to ignite significant and sustainable innovation. We are committed to fostering transformation, driving research and development, and promoting knowledge exchange across various sectors and disciplines. Through these partnerships, we will leverage a wealth of expertise and resources to tackle complex challenges and advance cutting-edge technologies.”
As Europe continues to lead in 6G research and innovation, Keysight’s involvement in these pioneering projects reinforces its dedication to shaping the future of wireless communication with AI-driven, sustainable, and scalable solutions.
