Partners from across Europe convened at Goldney House, Bristol, for the annual plenary meeting of the ECO-eNET project – Efficient Confluent Edge Networks – co-funded by the European Union’s Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU). The two-day event provided an important opportunity for consortium members to review progress, address technical challenges, and plan upcoming experimental demonstrations in the drive toward more energy-efficient and sustainable 6G network architectures.
