Experimental B5G/6G Network

The 6GLabnetUPC infrastructure, developed through the 6G OpenLab and ELEGANT projects led by UPC, aims to revolutionize connectivity with the deployment of an advanced 5G infrastructure towards 6G.

This setup constitutes a large-scale testbed for designing, validating, and monitoring components, services, applications, AI tools, and 5G/6G technology protocols.

The network is end-to-end multi-technology, including 5G/6G radio access, FR1 and millimeter-wave bands, FR2, Wi-Fi6, WDM, TSN, MEC, and geo-redundant 5G cores. It is equipped with data centers with AI/ML capabilities, measurement equipment, and simulators/emulators, and connects UPC’s Castelldefels and North campuses via a WDM optical network of more than 25 km.
