TrialsNet

TrialsNet has contributed to the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) White Paper on support to Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR), developed in collaboration with other SNS JU-funded projects. The paper explores how 6G technologies can strengthen societal resilience and support first responders through enhanced connectivity, AI-driven intelligence, integrated sensing, and hybrid terrestrial/non-terrestrial networks. TrialsNet contributed through three key use cases: 🔹 Smart crowd monitoring and anomaly detection (Madrid/Iași) 🔹 AI and drones for infrastructure asset management (Athens) 🔹 XR-based control rooms for emergency training and coordination (Turin) Together, these innovations demonstrate how #6G can help build safer, more resilient communities across Europe.

A new paper is out: “Towards Sustainable 6G Compute Continuum: Energy-aware Zero-Touch Network and Service Management used for Dynamic Vehicular Service Deployments.” This work demonstrates how energy-aware, zero‑touch orchestration can make future 6G infrastructures more sustainable. Using real data from the Smart Highway testbed in Antwerp, the study shows how vehicular traffic patterns can drive autonomous adjustments in compute and network resources—reducing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining strict latency requirements for mobility services. This publication marks an important step toward sustainable, intelligent, and autonomous network management for future mobility systems.

The paper “Zero-touch Cross-Domain Orchestration in the 6G Compute Continuum: A Framework Evaluation in Real Life Scenarios” has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society. This work introduces a modular, technology agnostic ZSM Framework that enables autonomous orchestration across heterogeneous edge and cloud infrastructures. It was validated in real world deployments across Belgium, Italy, and Romania, achieving significant improvements in latency, resource efficiency, and sustainability for future 6G compute and network environments. A big thank you and congratulations to the amazing team and partners who made this possible: Raúl Cuervo Bello, Gabriele Scivoletto, Giada Landi, Răzvan MIHAI, Christian Catalin Petrache, Miguel Camelo, Johann M. Marquez-Barja, Nina Slamnik - Kriještorac. This achievement is part of the joint efforts between imec IDLab (UGent - imec), Nextworks, and Orange Romania within the TrialsNet project under the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) program.

TriaslNet is delighted to invite you to the World Tour Première of Black Cats & Chequered Flags, the first multiplayer Mixed and Virtual Reality immersive experience inspired by the life of Alberto #Ascari. Presented in competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival – #Biennale Cinema 2025, the experience will be showcased as part of the first exhibition entirely dedicated to Alberto Ascari, hosted at the Museo Ferrari in Maranello from 24 December 2025 to 5 January 2026. Visitors will be immersed in a unique narrative journey exploring Ascari’s legacy beyond the racetrack—his discipline, superstitions, family ties, and the personal dimensions that shaped one of motorsport’s greatest legends. 📍 Where: Museo Ferrari, Maranello 📅 When: 24 December 2025 – 5 January 2026 We look forward to welcoming you to this premiere and guiding you through an immersive experience dedicated to the extraordinary world of Alberto Ascari.

Between November 12–13 and December 10–11, 2025, visitors at the @Pietro Micca Museum and Museo Nazionale del Risorgimento Italiano enjoyed fully immersive #XR experiences powered by #B5G networks. Guided journeys through the underground tunnels of Pietro Micca and interactive virtual games on Risorgimento history attracted strong engagement and validated key social and commercial value indicators — from accessibility enhancements to scalable platform readiness. This achievement highlights how R&D investments translate into market-ready services that can be replicated in other cultural cities, reinforcing Turin’s recognition as European Capital of Innovation and Smart Tourism 2025.  We are now focusing on commercial adoption and broader exploitation of these XR solutions to bring engaging digital experiences to cultural heritage sites across Europe.

We are pleased to share that TrialsNet was featured at Ericsson Imagine Italy, one of the country’s leading events for the telecom and digital innovation ecosystem. Held on 7 November at the MEET cultural center in Milan, the event gathered operators, industry leaders, institutions, and technology partners to discuss how next-generation infrastructures will shape Italy’s competitiveness. In a dedicated experience room, Ericsson and the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) presented the TrialsNet project through a live demonstration of an advanced 5G-powered AI prosthetic hand. The demo highlighted how real-time #AI processing can be offloaded to high-performance servers via #5G, allowing the prosthesis to stay lightweight, responsive, and energy-efficient—without bulky onboard hardware. Visitors had the opportunity to see the prosthesis in action, using AI-based object segmentation and adaptive grip control developed at the Ericsson–IIT labs in Genoa and validated in Pisa (UC9). The presentation generated strong interest from participants, including representatives of all major Italian telecom operators, who engaged actively with the IIT and Ericsson teams on the technology and its potential impact. A big thank you to the presenters—Giancarlo Sacco (Ericsson), Federico Vasile, Giulia Caserta, and Lorenzo Natale (IIT)—for bringing TrialsNet’s innovation to the forefront of such a high-profile event. Together, we continue to demonstrate how 5G and Beyond can enable transformative applications in healthcare and beyond. Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU)
