Welcome to 6G OpenLab, the open infrastructure at UPC
designed for cutting-edge research in 6G, AI, and beyond,
available to researchers, innovators, and industry.
Deploy, test, and evolve with a standalone 5G+/6G
private network with FR1 and FR2 frequency bands.
Experience ultra-fast fiber optics with cutting-edge DWDM systems,
delivering high-capacity links over 40 km.
The platform integrates multiple AI systems to automate,
optimize, and adapt key network processes
from resource management to intelligent orchestration.
Leverage multi-access edge computing and cloud platforms with GPU acceleration
for real-time processing.
Connected via Wi-Fi 6E, 10 GbE, and 5G+/6G
for ultra-fast, low-latency communication across the entire infrastructure.
At the core, a high-performance and AI-prepared data center
with 3 specialized clusters.
Kubernetes for container orchestration,
OpenStack for cloud experiments,
and HPC for intense computation.
With time-sensitive networking,
6G-OpenLab delivers microsecond-level synchronization,
vital for industrial automation, robotics, and real-time systems verticals
A diverse and distributed sensor network captures real-time data across environments.
Power your AI models, test IoT applications,
and build smarter systems using a rich mix of sensor and robotics technologies.
Comprehensive monitoring and automation tools
to control all the elements in a centralized and automated mode.
Advanced 5G system simulation and emulation
using both commercial tools like Amarisoft and open-source platforms
such as Open Air Interface and SRS.
A key focus in 5G and 6G systems is improving energy efficiency
in radio access networks by enhancing power amplifier linearity,
which is being studied using specialized equipment like an arbitrary
waveform generator and a real-time oscilloscope
operating in the relevant frequency bands.
