emnify, a global leader in cloud-native IoT connectivity, is playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of 6G through its involvement in the EU-funded ORIGAMI project. The initiative, officially known as Optimized Resource Integration and Global Architecture for Mobile Infrastructure for 6G, aims to lay the architectural groundwork for next-generation mobile networks by addressing the limitations of current 5G systems. ORIGAMI brings together leading European research institutions and technology companies, including Telefónica Research, NEC Laboratories Europe, and the University of Würzburg. Funded under the Horizon Europe program via the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU), the project focuses on developing three core components: a Global Service-Based Architecture (GSBA), a Zero-Trust Exposure Layer (ZTL), and a Compute Continuum Layer (CCL). Together, these innovations are designed to enable globally interoperable, secure, and efficient 6G networks capable of supporting ultra-low latency, massive scalability, and seamless integration between terrestrial and satellite infrastructures. As a key contributor and use-case provider within the consortium, emnify leverages its extensive experience in cloud-native IoT connectivity to ensure that the evolving 6G architecture meets real-world needs. The company is helping define how IoT devices will connect, communicate, and remain secure across international borders. Martin Giess, Co-founder and founding CTO at emnify, emphasized the importance of industry-academia collaboration: “By contributing real-world IoT operator use cases to ORIGAMI, we’re ensuring that 6G architectures evolve to better support global providers like us—and ultimately empower enterprises worldwide.” In September, emnify hosted the ORIGAMI consortium meeting in Würzburg ahead of the project’s mid-term review. During the event, the company demonstrated an observability platform that enables real-time monitoring of latency and availability across globally distributed roaming partners. This capability is critical for ensuring reliability in complex international network environments and serves as a foundation for future 6G operations. Artur Michalczyk, emnify’s Chief Technology Officer, highlighted the project’s impact: “The insights we gain from ORIGAMI directly inform the evolution of our platform. We’re not only preparing for the 6G era—we’re helping define how IoT devices will connect, communicate, and stay secure on a global scale.” Building on this momentum, emnify has also secured funding for a new research initiative, NaSA-OMI, supported by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. In partnership with the University of Würzburg, NaSA-OMI explores Network Intelligence and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), including the integration of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. The project applies advanced AI techniques to detect network anomalies, enhance security, and improve reliability—key priorities for next-generation IoT connectivity. Prof. Tobias Hoßfeld, Chair of Communication Networks at the University of Würzburg, noted the value of emnify’s practical expertise: “emnify’s experience with diverse IoT use cases and device types brings invaluable insight to our research.” Through ORIGAMI and NaSA-OMI, emnify continues to demonstrate its leadership in innovation, sustainability, and cross-sector collaboration. By merging cutting-edge research with real-world application, the company is helping build a more intelligent, accessible, and secure connected future.
