5G-INDUCE
Open cooperative 5G experimentation platforms for the industrial sector NetApps
(01/2021 – 12/2023)
Aim: The development of an open, ETSI NFV compatible, 5G orchestration platform for the deployment of advanced 5G NetApps.
The 5G-INDUCE project builds the enabling open and cooperative 5G network platforms that will allow the showcasing and evaluation of advanced network applications (NetApps) developed primarily by innovative SMEs, and supporting emerging as well as innovative services related to the industry 4.0 environment. The project is based on the solid knowhow and the complete 5G application and network orchestration platforms from successfully demonstrated 5GPPP research activities and combines them with already deployed and mature 5G experimentation infrastructures, interconnected with private infrastructures from the industry sector.
5G-INDUCE targets the development of an open, ETSI NFV compatible, 5G orchestration platform. The platform’s unique features provide the capability to the NetApp developers to define and modify the application requirements, while the underlay intelligent OSS (Operations Support System) can expose the network capabilities to the end-users on the application level without revealing any infrastructure-related information. This process enables an application-oriented network management and optimisation approach that is in line with the operator’s role as manager of its own facilities, while it offers the operational environment to any developers and service providers through which tailored made applications can be designed and deployed, for the benefit of vertical industries and without any indirect dependency through a cloud provider.
The platform is integrated over three (3) 5G Experimentation Facilities in Spain, Greece, and Italy. The 5G-INDUCE experimentation facilities are designed to provide realistic environments for the deployment and evaluation of industry 4.0 oriented NetApps in a diverse type of industries.
