Where are you active within the FNS program (program lines, work packages), and what is your contribution?
TenneT participates in program line 3: Leading Applications. In the coming years, TenneT is working hard to expand, strengthen, and digitalize the high-voltage network. Our contribution focuses on providing use cases and sharing expertise for the application of wireless communication in measurement and control of the high-voltage grid.

Why are you participating in the FNS program?
Telecommunication is an essential component of the high-voltage network. By participating, TenneT expects to explore the application of 6G technology for sensors and systems in locations where wired connections are unavailable or not feasible due to high-voltage conditions. Through this initiative, TenneT aims to exchange knowledge with partners and stay informed about innovative telecommunication technologies and their potential applications.
