TeraWireless School 1: State-of-the-art Telecommunication Standards

On 15–16 June 2026, TeraWireless successfully organised School 1: State-of-the-art Telecommunication Standards, delivered online as part of the project's training programme.

The two-day school provided participants with valuable insights into current and emerging telecommunication standards, with a particular focus on technologies and methodologies shaping the future of 5G, 6G, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and THz communications.

The programme brought together leading experts from Nokia and Ranplan Wireless, who shared both academic and industrial perspectives on key developments in wireless communications.

Day 1 – Telecommunication Standards and Network Evolution

The first day focused on the evolution of mobile networks and standardization processes, covering:

• Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)

• 5G status and 6G outlook

• L4S fundamentals

The sessions were delivered by:

Werner Coomans (Nokia)

Antti Toskala (Nokia)

Harri Holma (Nokia)

Koen De Schepper (Nokia)

Day 2 – Advanced THz Network Technologies

The second day focused on advanced technologies and methodologies for future THz-enabled wireless systems, including:

• 3GPP NTN

• 5GNR RRC procedures

• Deterministic and hybrid channel modelling for THz networks

• Ray-tracing-assisted simulation workflows for THz network design and evaluation

The sessions were delivered by:

Mads Lauridsen (Nokia)

Alix Jeannerot (Nokia)
