Regarding this cooperation, 6G-IA and ETSI jointly stated that their cooperation reflects the integration of European research results on 5G, 6G and related technologies into the wider field of standardization.

In addition, ETSI said that the first phase of 5G/6G research projects is being launched, many of which will play a key role in defining next-generation networks. ETSI will hold a meeting at its headquarters in Sophia Antipolis this February, which will also provide the perfect platform for these new projects to present their purpose and plans, and discuss their standardization with standards experts. exchange roadmaps.
