Polish 5G provider joins Dutch consortium to lay the groundwork for 6G in Europe.

October 17, 2023: IS-Wireless, a Polish 5G solutions provider, has joined the Dutch consortium Future Network Services (FNS) to research and develop the sixth generation of mobile networks (6G).

At least 61 million EUR backs the FNS project in Dutch National Growth Fund funding.

The consortium aims to lead in shaping the global development of 6G, set the foundation for 6G standards, and develop a solid Dutch 6G ecosystem.

Why it matters:

• 6G is expected to be faster, more reliable, and more efficient than 5G, enabling new and innovative applications in artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and augmented reality.
• Europe lags behind China and the United States in 6G research, so the FNS project is a significant step forward.
• IS-Wireless’ expertise in Open RAN 5G solutions will be a valuable asset to the consortium.

What’s next:

• The FNS consortium will begin its work immediately to develop a prototype 6G network by 2025.
• The project is expected to run for five years and involve close collaboration with industry partners and government agencies across Europe.
