PROJECTS
EVOLVED-5G
The intense ongoing work towards 5G readiness has reached the point where the performance gains provided by 5G infrastructures should be exploited by third-party innovators and SMEs, to create a new, open and dynamic ecosystem from both technology and marketing perspectives. Towards the materialization of the 5G performance gains at the application and market level, key contributions are expected by the domain of design and development of Network Application (NetApp). In this context, EVOLVED-5G endorses the vision where the world of NetApps follows the paradigm of mobile applications hosted in a related marketplace.
Moreover, the EVOLVED-5G project will contribute towards the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0. recognized as one of the major vertical industries by 5G-PPP (referring to the digital evolving of workspaces), Industry 4.0 brings innovative use cases, yet technologically challenging, and creates a fertile environment for SME-driven entrepreneurship, where new use case-tailored functions (as NetApps) can be provided to compose a digitalized, secure, and automated generation of the industrial operations (mainly referring to functions for process and machine control as well as procedures for advanced product lifecycle management). The industry-oriented EVOLVED-5G NetApps will be tested, validated, and certified in a vendor-agnostic experimentation platform, and progressively define the first set of NetApps that the EVOLVED-5G marketplace will host.
SATRD role in the EVOLVED-5G project
In this project, SATRD applies its expertise to lead the task devoted (i) to the generation of training material for developers to leverage the EVOLVED-5G framework, and (ii) to spread the use of the technological innovations of the project across the open-source and academic communities. SATRD, as one of the main academic partners, also has an active role in the communication and in the scientific dissemination of the outcomes of the project, collaborating on the preparation of scientific journals and 5G-PPP activities. Besides, UPV also participates in research tasks related to the design, development and validation of the proposed framework.
