- IDLab-Wireless at IPIN 2026! Last week, our team attended the International Conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN), where we presented two papers and one poster. Our contributions focused on two key technologies for indoor positioning and navigation: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Channel Sounding. It was great to see both topics strongly represented throughout the conference program and discussions. 🏆 A special congratulations to Jorg Wieme, whose poster on BLE Channel Sounding
- Great to see how research can grow into real-world impact. Proud to see Lopos, an IDLab (UGent - imec) spinoff, taking this next step with Boplan. Congratulations to everyone involved! 👏
- With inspiring talks by our professors Jeroen Hoebeke and Eli De Poorter ! Be sure to register fast, as places are limited... IDLab (UGent - imec)
- At EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026 we showed our IDLab (UGent - imec) demo on O-RAN compliant Wi-Fi Access Points for Programmable and Intelligent Multi-RAT Networks, developed within the UNITY-6G project. Our work demonstrates how extending the O-RAN architecture beyond cellular networks to include #openwifi Access Points enables a unified control plane across multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs). This approach allows Wi-Fi and cellular networks to be managed as a single programmable and intelligent system, paving the way for: ✅
- The future of connectivity isn't just terrestrial—it’s a seamless blend of earth and space. 🌍 Building further on the insights shared by everyone at the Wireless Community event, the momentum behind integrating Terrestrial Networks (TN) with Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) is undeniable as we march toward ubiquitous global 6G coverage. However, merging traditional fiber with satellite paths creates highly asymmetric backhaul links. When congestion hits, how do you intelligently route traffic without creating massive overhead or
