Potential business and societal impacts of the project include:
• Fully functional architecture including interoperable 5G components will increase compatibility which deliver highly competitive products that facilitate market deployment of 5G networks and open up interesting business opportunities for cross-domain (inter-operator) 5G service provisioning.
• The mmWave, AI-assisted communication and edge technologies developed in the project can be used by manufacturers and operators in the consortium to lead the development of standard essential 5G products. Moreover, researchers, graduate students in particular, who have been working on these technologies are being trained to become highly skilled workers in the future for 5G development and beyond; thus, it ensures that Europe and Korea continue to be competitive forces in the field of communication systems.
• The testbeds and demos by the project provide a showcase for technologies (UAV, mmWave, MEC, AI etc.) that could be of potential interest to 5G industry, as well as, drone and public safety communities. Additional considerations exploitation of PriMO-5G technical implementations in other verticals, through implementation of the intercontinental remote manufacturing demo.
• The firefighting demos proposed developed throughout the project lifetime have potential to further highlight the potential of 5G technologies in combating increasingly common fire incidents.
• Aside from adding to the current body of knowledge in networking and edge computing research, innovations highlighted in the project were designed and developed with the goal of providing better services to people in terms of public safety and convenience.
