Beyond 5G multi-tenant private networks integrating Cellular, WiFi, and LiFi, Powered by ARtificial Intelligence and Intent Based PolicY

With the imminent roll-out of 5G technology focusing on retail, public 5G networks will not meet industry users’ needs anytime soon. Private networks provide an alternative for early uptake of 5G functionalities in sites like factories, stadiums and transportation hubs. This is where 5G-CLARITY steps in, developing a beyond 5G architecture for private networks. Enhanced communication services will be made possible through a novel access network integrating 5G, Wi-Fi and LiFi technologies among other components. The EU-funded 5G-CLARITY project draws on the latest developments in global telecommunications. It also plans to enable network automation via artificial intelligence. Project results are expected to benefit industry standard bodies, but potential exists for individual applications too.
