UNITY-6G was actively represented at the EuCNC & 6G Summit 2025, held on June 3–6 in Poznań, Poland. The project hosted a dedicated poster booth, where attendees had the opportunity to learn more about UNITY-6G’s overarching ambition and explore the project’s architecture. In addition to engaging with visitors at the booth, several project partners contributed to the conference’s rich technical program, participating in many sessions, including:
- Special Session 12: Building Blocks for Autonomous Networks chaired by UNITY-6G project partner, Rimedo Labs
- NVS1 – Visions for resilience and sustainability with the presentation of “Advances in Network Orchestration for Security, Scalability, and Sustainability”
- NET3 – Network & Service Orchestration with the presentation of “Exploiting 6G RAN and Core Network Information for Intelligent Edge-Cloud Service Orchestration”
- NVS3 – Sustainability, regulation, and business models with the presentation of “UNITY-6G: UNified archITecture for Open RAN-Enabled Distributed, Scalable and SustainabilitY-Enhanced 6G Networks”

The Project Coordinator also organized a Special Session AURA-6G: Towards an AI-native, service-oriented, ubiquitous and verifiable 6G integrated fabric focused on the integration of terrestrial, non-terrestrial, and non-public networks, highlighting the role of AI-driven orchestration and semantic communication in building scalable and sustainable 6G architectures. The session provided a platform for stakeholders to discuss innovative approaches and strategic priorities crucial to Europe’s leadership in next-generation connectivity.
Furthermore, several project partners, including Keysight, Martel, Rimedo, SRS, and imec, hosted corporate booths where they displayed UNITY-6G materials.
In addition to displaying informative materials about the project, imec demonstrated advanced Wi-Fi technologies applied within UNITY-6G. Originally released in 2019 as the outcome of the H2020 ORCA project, openwifi has matured into a robust research platform. Today, it incorporates Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) features—such as time synchronization, time-triggered scheduling, and real-time telemetry—to meet the needs of critical applications requiring low latency, minimal jitter, and high reliability. This enhanced version of openwifi is being used in UNITY-6G to investigate the convergence of Wi-Fi and TSN with 3GPP and O-RAN technologies, especially in the context of non-public networks for industrial automation. A live demonstration of this capability was available at the imec booth throughout the whole event. On the other hand, SRS showcased their commercial CU/DU implementation, featuring live deployments of srsRAN Enterprise 5G. Visitors had a chance to explore demos, equipment, and presentations highlighting the latest advancements in open, high-performance 5G RAN solutions for private and non-terrestrial networks.
UNITY-6G’s presence at EuCNC & 6G Summit 2025 marked an important opportunity to share progress, exchange ideas, and connect with the wider 6G research community.
