The new research project VICTOR6G started its work in January 2026. In this three-year project with a total budget of 5.4 million Euros (of which 4.3 million Euros are publicly funded), industrial partners and research institutions are working closely together to develop real-time virtualization solutions for industrial 6G applications. The goal is an integrated solution of wired and wireless networks that can reliably and with low latency operate applications such as robots controlled from the local cloud or inspection drones in the Industrial Metaverse.
Partners in the consortium include Ericsson (lead), SEW-EURODRIVE, Adaept Engineering, IKADO, Fraunhofer IPT, RWTH Aachen University, TU Dortmund University, TU Dresden University, and, as an associated partner, Airbus. The partners bring together expertise from telecommunications, mechanical engineering, and IT. The project is financially supported by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) as part of the funding guideline “Bringing 6G into Application.”
The partners in this research project are investigating future 6G communication networks for industrial applications and developing a close integration of network and IT technology with the applications.
Core components being researched include:
Digital Twins: Interaction of application and communication networks for precise virtual representation in real time.
Flexible Frequency Use: Dynamic use of different frequency bands. The focus will…
