The future of global connectivity is being forged now, not in distant labs, but in collaborative projects pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. A key player in this evolution, emnify, is deeply involved in ORIGAMI, a groundbreaking EU-funded initiative designing the very architecture of 6G mobile networks.
ORIGAMI isn’t just about faster speeds; it’s about building a smarter, more sustainable, and globally interconnected communications infrastructure. This ambitious project unites leading European institutions – including Telefónica Research, NEC Laboratories Europe, and the University of Würzburg – all focused on overcoming the limitations of current 5G systems.
At the heart of ORIGAMI lies a vision for a new network blueprint. The project aims to create a Global Service-Based Architecture, a Zero-Trust Exposure Layer, and a Compute Continuum Layer. These innovations promise ultra-low latency, massive scalability, and seamless integration between terrestrial and satellite networks – unlocking possibilities previously beyond reach.
emnify’s role within this consortium is critical. The company provides real-world use cases for global operator scenarios, drawing on its extensive experience in cloud-native IoT connectivity. This ensures that the theoretical advancements of ORIGAMI are grounded in practical application and address the challenges faced by global IoT providers.
The company recently hosted the ORIGAMI consortium in Würzburg, showcasing a powerful observability platform. This platform provides globally distributed latency and availability monitoring of roaming partners, dramatically enhancing visibility and reliability in complex international network environments.
This demonstration wasn’t just a presentation; it was a glimpse into the future of network management. It highlighted how emnify’s technology can proactively identify and resolve issues, ensuring seamless connectivity for IoT devices across the globe – a vital capability for the success of 6G.
Building on this momentum, emnify has secured funding for a new research initiative, NaSA-OMI, in collaboration with the University of Würzburg. This project delves into the potential of Network Intelligence and Non-Terrestrial Networks, including the integration of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.
NaSA-OMI will leverage advanced AI techniques to detect network anomalies, bolster security, and improve overall reliability. This research isn’t confined to theory; it’s directly informing the evolution of emnify’s platform, preparing it for the demands of a hyper-connected future.
The University of Würzburg brings invaluable academic expertise to the partnership. According to Prof. Tobias Hoßfeld, emnify’s practical experience with a diverse range of IoT use cases provides crucial insight, accelerating the development of next-generation connectivity solutions.
Through ORIGAMI and NaSA-OMI, emnify isn’t simply adapting to the future; it’s actively shaping it. This commitment to innovation, sustainability, and collaboration is driving the creation of a more intelligent, accessible, and secure connected world.
