TechBridge: Transforming Disability Employment through Smart Factories
Objective of Project Idea:
1. Creating Inclusive Employment Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities The primary objective of this smart factory project is to integrate individuals with disabilities—such as those with cerebral palsy (CP), wheelchair users, individuals with intellectual disabilities, and the deaf—into sustainable employment. This project will focus on providing accessible, meaningful job roles that empower people with disabilities to work in a factory setup, preparing them to transition to the open labor market. By designing the factory to meet their specific needs, this project aims to eliminate employment barriers, offering a supportive and productive environment where workers with disabilities can excel. 2.

Smart and Fast AI-Driven WiFi Test Automation
Objective of Project Idea:
The objective of this project is to revolutionize WiFi testing by integrating AI-driven automation to optimize test execution, enhance anomaly detection, and ensure seamless device interoperability. Traditional WiFi testing methods are slow, labor-intensive, and fail to adapt dynamically to real-world network conditions. As WiFi networks become more complex with 5G, IoT, and high-density deployments, current approaches struggle to detect and resolve performance issues efficiently. This project aims to develop an AI-powered test automation system that enables: Intelligent Test Case Generation – AI dynamically adapts test scenarios based on network behavior. Automated Device Classification – Machine learning categorizes devices for optimized[...]
Wi-Excellence
Objective of Project Idea:
A framework for quantitatively measuring application QoE using application vendor information, crisscrossing them with wireless edge issues, and proposing cures. Also finding root cause of bad experience in the networking pipeline (i.e., Wi-Fi & FWA). For an end goal of improved end-user Internet experience, improved end-user QoE on QoS-sensitive applications.

Next Generation AI-native Mobile Network Architecture for Emerging AI Agents.
Objective of Project Idea:
The rapid development of AI, including emerging AI devices, AI applications and services, is driving the need for an AI-native architecture that integrates intelligence into network functions, procedures and operations. This proposal explores next-generation system architecture to support the needs emerging AI agents - intelligent systems capable of real-time decision-making, adaptive learning, and human-like interaction. By embedding AI agents directly into the communication infrastructure, this approach enhances efficiency, autonomy, and user experience across various domains, from human-machine collaboration to autonomous network planning and design. Unlike conventional AI-driven optimizations, a native AI-based network architecture treats AI as an intrinsic component rather[...]

Next-Gen Open RAN Solutions: Targeting cm-Waveband
Objective of Project Idea:
This project focuses on creating and testing a cutting-edge Open RAN platform built for future 6G networks. We will target the emerging “cm-wave” frequency ranges (6–8 GHz and 14–15 GHz) to demonstrate how next-generation wireless solutions can deliver ultra-fast data rates, low latency, and advanced features like joint communication and sensing (JCAS). On the hardware side, we aim to design high-performance radio front ends—power amplifiers, antennas, and filters—that are both efficient and adaptable to new bands. We will also explore “gigantic” MIMO configurations to boost capacity and coverage. On the software and algorithm side, we plan to incorporate sophisticated AI/ML techniques (implemented[...]

Secure and intelligent Access control system for industrial Machinery
Objective of Project Idea:
This project aims to improve industrial workplace safety by developing an intelligent access control system integrating biometric and facial recognition technology. In high-risk industries like manufacturing, where machinery such as roll forming machines is prevalent, safety is crucial. Unauthorized personnel or improper equipment handling can lead to accidents, misuse, and downtime. To address this, the project introduces a software solution that restricts machinery access solely to authorized operators, reducing accident rates and ensuring compliance with safety standards. The project includes cloud-based data analytics and communication among the distributed manufacturing machines to predict and enhance safety measures. By analyzing biometric data[...]

European Mobile Cyber Protection (EMCP)
Objective of Project Idea:
This project aims to create a comprehensive cybersecurity solution for personal mobile devices, addressing common threats like phishing, grayware, and MITM attacks. Our goal is to reduce data leaks and improve the user experience while strengthening European data sovereignty. The EMCP will reduce the number of individuals suffering of high-sensitive data leakage, improve the UX of built-in-mobile-devices cybersecurity facilities and increase the individual's ability to self cyber-protection, in addition to increased protection from cyberthreats and cybercrimes for personal mobile-devices and a strengthened European data sovereignty by improved resilience and safety.
Project AEGIS (Advanced Efficient Generative Intelligence Simulation)
Objective of Project Idea:
Developing innovative solutions within the telecommunication domain is becoming increasingly challenging, particularly for AI and machine learning-based approaches. A major hurdle is the lack of access to realistic data. There is not only a scarcity of publicly available, large-scale, and realistic telecom network data, but telecom operators also face significant limitations in utilizing their data due to privacy and security regulations. This project aims to overcome these barriers by creating synthetic yet realistic telecom traffic data using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) approach. Our goal as H3M and Turkcell is to develop a live sandbox platform that telecom operators can[...]

Post Quantum 6G Networks and Services
Objective of Project Idea:
Securing mobile communication in a Post-Quantum world is of strategic importance for nation states. With the help of our research and development partners in academia and industry, our aim is to achieve two objectives, namely: (1) make 6G mobile networks secure using post-quantum cryptography i.e. come up with approaches to address PKI and secure messaging, and (2) explore the use of quantum computing to optimise existing networks (e.g. error correction in messages). To this end, we would like to build and test proof-of-value solutions using in-house testbed facilities at Digital Catapult (UK) and also deploy these on a partnering mobile[...]

Using Augmented Reality as a Digital Assistant for Aphasic Patients
Objective of Project Idea:
In this project, we are combining Augmented Reality (AR) and Machine Learning (ML) to create a personalised digital solution for patients with Aphasia. Aphasia is a communication disorder caused by damage to the brain's language and comprehension areas, usually on the left side. In the UK, more than 350,000 people live with Aphasia. About one-third of stroke survivors experience some form of Aphasia, with 12% still affected after six months. Between 30-43% of those people remain severely aphasic long-term. Many patients are referred to therapists for treatment, which can be short or long-term depending on the severity of their condition.[...]
