VIAVI Solutions, announced that it has been awarded $1.1 million in funding from the European SNS JU and Horizon 6G Networks.
VIAVI Solutions has joined the EU-funded SHIELD-6G Consortium to advance AI-driven security testing, helping identify vulnerabilities, strengthen network resilience, and protect next-generation wireless infrastructure. The initiative supports the development of intelligent testing frameworks that will enable secure, reliable, and trustworthy 6G communications.
“Security for 6G networks has to be built in from day one, and that requires the ability to simulate, test and detect threats before a single commercial 6G signal goes live,” said Ian Langley, Senior Vice President, Wireless, Security and Applications Business Unit, VIAVI Solutions. “Our AI RSG technology is already being used to provide the essential digital twin foundation required to better understand 6G propagation, improve energy consumption and reduce FR3 signal interference. SHIELD-6G takes that capability directly into the security domain, where the stakes are even higher. We’re delighted to be involved in this latest collaboration at the forefront of global technological innovation.”
