What is SmartNets4E?
Smart Networks for Everything (SmartNets4E) is the experimental research infrastructure resulting from the evolution of the original SN4I platform at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). It brings together the resources deployed through the SN4E project funded under UNICO I+D 6G 2022 (TSI-064X00-2022-0022), its subsequent extension through the SN4E+ project (TSI-064X00-2023-0024), the IKUR initiative, and additional resources acquired through complementary funding sources. Integrated into the ESFRI SLICES-RI ecosystem, SmartNets4E provides an advanced environment for research, experimentation, and knowledge transfer in 5G Advanced and 6G, combining support for basic research and pre-commercial validation. The infrastructure is designed as a multidisciplinary, multi-user platform serving multiple verticals, including advanced manufacturing, health, education, transportation, and mobility, through its distributed nodes.
