> [!ABSTRACT] > [OPTIWAVE](https://www.list.lu/) is a software solution for planning, optimising, and monitoring wireless networks under electromagnetic field (EMF) constraints. Building on the 5G-EMIT project, OPTIWAVE addresses the challenges of deploying advanced network technologies like 5G and 6G, ensuring regulatory compliance and fostering collaboration among stakeholders. > [!FACTSHEET] > - **Funding**: Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) - JUMP programme > - **Duration**: 2024-2025 > - **My role**: Coordinator > - **Key partners**: Department of Media, Connectivity and Digital Policy (SMC)  ## Context With stricter EMF regulations and the complexity of 5G and future 6G networks, telecommunication operators face significant challenges in network planning. Technologies like Massive MIMO with beamforming introduce new deployment constraints, while public concerns about [[EMF exposure]] further complicate rollouts. OPTIWAVE was developed to help municipalities, operators, and regulators address these issues through advanced tools for EMF-aware [[Network Planning]]. ## Key objectives 1. **Monitoring EMF levels**: Provide tools for assessing EMF exposure in specific areas, from cities to larger regions. - **Target users**: Municipalities and local communities. 2. **Simulating and optimising scenarios**: Enable "what-if" analyses to optimise deployments and meet regulatory standards. - **Target users**: Operators and network planners. 3. **Facilitating collaboration**: Improve coordination between stakeholders to streamline deployment processes. - **Target users**: Regulators. ## Outcomes - **EMF monitoring and reporting** for transparency and compliance. - **Simulation tools** to optimise network deployments. - **Enhanced stakeholder collaboration** for efficient rollouts. OPTIWAVE builds on [5G-EMIT](https://www.list.lu/fr/recherche/it/projet/5g-emit/).
