Project Goals:

The HiPer-RAN project (“Highly Intelligent, Highly Performing RAN”) set out to develop an open, flexible platform capable of hosting diverse software-based intelligence across the entire Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture, from higher-layer orchestration down to the physical layer.

The purpose of this webinar is to share current Horizon collaborative opportunities in the UK for advanced communications.

Executive Summary

The Dorset Open Networks Ecosystem (DONE) project undertook R&D across two strands of Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) enablement - RAN intelligent controller (RIC) applications plus processors and RAN/Radio Frequency (RF) hardware.

Cambridge Tech Week 2025 is set to return from 15 – 19 September, with a focus on global collaboration and a bold ambition: to showcase Cambridge as the deep tech capital of Europe and a driving force behind some of the world’s most transformative technologies. 

The growing demand for data and applications such as deep learning has led to a surge in network traffic and energy consumption.
