6G-RIC at the IEEE 6G Summit Dresden: A Resounding Success!


May 14–15, 2025 | Dresden, Germany

The 6G-RIC team made a strong impact at this year’s IEEE 6G Summit in Dresden, Germany, with exciting demos and insight into next-generation communications technologies. Our experts provided live demonstrations of the cutting-edge research and innovation within the 6G-RIC project:

  • O-RAN Mobility Demo
  • Sub-THz Demo on D-Band Sensing and Communication
  • Energy Monitoring for Multi-Agent AI
  • Digital Twins for Connected Mobility

The @Fraunhofer HHI team also organized two highly engaging sessions:
AI for RAN — led by Dr. Jochen Fink with Rafael Schäfer (TU Dresden), Zoran Utkovski & Daniel Schäuffele
Green Communication for 6G — hosted by Prof. Slawomir Stanczak, with Dr. Ehsan Tohidi and Dr. Heiko Lehmann (Deutsche Telekom)

Prof. Slawomir Stanczak delivered a visionary talk:
“Task-Oriented 6G: Semantic Communication and Distributed Intelligence with Applications to Collaborative Robotics” and he also contributed to the Panel Discussion on Physical Layer Security, reinforcing 6G-RIC’s leadership in secure and intelligent network design.

A big thank you to our incredible team on-site:
Prof. Slawomir Stanczak, Sven Wittig, Tano Bischoff, Elena Kempf-Loeck, Abishek, Ralf Lindstedt, and Dr. Martin Kasparick.

The xG-Incubator was proudly showcased with airpulsOpen RAN Made in Germany, further underlining our commitment to sovereign and open communication systems.

6G-RIC and the xG-Incubator are funded by the @Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF).

Welcoming a New Milestone: Launch of xG-ALOE!
We are excited to announce the first public appearance of xG-ALOE (Alliance for Open Enterprise Networks)! Built on the success of #CampusOS, xG-ALOE represents the next chapter in building open, modular, and sovereign digital infrastructure in Europe.

In partnership with Innovation Cluster 5G Berlin e.V., Fraunhofer HHI proudly launches xG-ALOE — driving innovation in Open RAN and 5G Campus Networks through openness, modularity, and vendor-neutral design.
