5G+/ 6G

Shaping international standards for advanced technologies.

Overview

The European Task Force on 5G+/6G (5G+/6G-ETF) are specialised groups of 5G+/6G standardisation experts, integrating technical and industry expertise, dedicated to facilitating robust knowledge exchange and influencing the development of international 5G+ and 6G standards in line with EU policies.

Objectives

The European Task Force on 5G+/6G (5G+/6G-ETF) convenes leading European stakeholders involved and impacted by the development of 5G+ and 6G standards to build a 5G+/6G high-level standardisation framework (a standardisation roadmap) that can then be pursued and agreed with selected international partners, namely Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Canada, and the USA.

This Task Force brings a unique value to the 5G+/6G standardisation landscape through its focus on direct person-to-person exchanges and the development of comprehensive frameworks tailored to the 5G+ and 6G sectors.

This approach ensures effective alignment with common visions and applications, differentiating them from existing standardisation working groups.

Task Force results

The Task Force has developed the first version of the INSTAR Cybersecurity/eID ETF - Roadmap Factsheet.

This INSTAR factsheet is a concise, visually engaging document designed to serve as practical reference for the INSTAR stakeholders (EU and international policymakers, EU-funded projects, SDOs, and industrial players) to provide a clear summary of the European standardisation priorities identified by the Task Force.
