5G PPP – 5G core technologies innovation

 

a) Innovation Actions (IA)

Enabling technologies: The key 5G technological blocks under consideration are primarily hardware-based and include, but are not limited to, phase array antenna, array processors, millimetre wave devices and subsystems, photonics based devices, baseband processor platforms, low-cost access points, new generation of 5G terminals notably for future Connected and Automated Mobility, in order to provide opportunities for innovative high-tech SMEs access to new markets through pilot validation of promising solutions. A special emphasis will be put on new types of IoT devices demonstrating the use of 5G connectivity functionalities addressing requirements of one or several vertical industry sectors.

The actions go beyond individual components and also address integration and validation of technologies as part of an overall architecture representing a subset of 5G network functions. Their added value is in the validation of the target compon

5G offers prospects for a range of new technologies and hardware devices to enter the market and to create economic opportunities for new and innovative market actors. The challenge is hence to reap the fruits of earlier R&D investments in these enabling technologies to support the emergence of new markets and new market actors in Europe.

a) Innovation Actions (IA)

  • support to the emergence of a European offer for new 5G core technologies at TRL 7 or beyond.
  • support to the emergence of new actors in the related markets.
  • creation of high tech start-ups or of new business opportunities for established SME's.
  • strong SME participation is targeted.

b) Coordination and support actions (CSA)

  • Cross industry availability of a European roadmap for hardware enabling technologies supporting European strategic autonomy objectives for connectivity platforms.
