PEPR Cybersécurité - 5G METAVERS
The industry of the future invites itself into the metaverse
The metaverse is no longer limited to online gaming or social interaction: it is becoming a key technology for industry. Through the 5GMetaverse project, five Institut Mines-Télécom schools are seeking to adapt tomorrow's networks to the needs of augmented and virtual reality. In particular, the project aims to develop concrete solutions for industrial process optimization, remote assistance and man-machine collaboration.

Since the appearance of the first immersive online platforms in the 2000s, the metaverse has undergone several waves of evolution. Initially designed for entertainment or social interaction, these virtual environments are now attracting growing interest in the industrial sector. Their promise: to reproduce and synchronize physical environments in real time within a virtual world.
This promise is crucial, as it can improve decision-making through accurate simulations, accelerate innovation and strengthen collaboration by making complex data more accessible and visual. Unlike “classic” industrial digital twins, the metaverse's evolving models can capture and integrate the slightest events (changes on a machine, a person passing by...) to guide operational decisions.
Objectif
The 5GMetaverse project, which brings together five Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT) schools, several Airbus subsidiaries, and Orange, seeks precisely to prepare and promote 5G for the needs of the metaverse, particularly in an industrial context.
Method
The project is organized into 5 Work Packages (WP), with industrial and academic partners carrying or co-sharing responsibility.
A/ Work Packages
1/ WP0: Project administration (AIRBUS SAS)
2/ WP1: Analysis of metaverse requirements, networks and impacts on SI 5G (ORANGE and Télécom Sud Paris, IMT)
3/ WP2: 5G network technologies (Télécom Sud Paris, IMT)
4/ WP3: Metavers technologies (AIRBUS DS)
5/ WP4: Integration, test and evaluation (AIRBUS DS)
Each work package is divided into tasks, which in turn are divided into work packages, shared between the project partners.
Each partner works on the work packages for which they are responsible, in order to produce the deliverables for each task.
Organisation
The 5GM consortium comprises :
- Airbus (leader)
- Airbus Defence & Space
- Airbus Helicopters
- Airbus SAS
- Orange
- Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT) with the schools :
- IMT Atlantique
- IMT Mines Albi
- IMT Nord-Europe
- École des Mines de Saint-Étienne
- Télécom SudParis
“This project entitled 5GMetaverse was funded by the French government as part of the plan of investment for the future, namely "France 2030».
