Descripción del proyecto
Democratizar la conectividad a Internet
La conectividad es fundamental. El núcleo de redes móviles 4G y 5G definido por software basado en la tecnología SDN (red definida por software) puede favorecer las comunicaciones móviles con dispositivos LTE comerciales mediante la creación de diferentes particiones en la misma infraestructura. A estas particiones de red se les asignan recursos y prioridades de tráfico para proporcionar una calidad de servicio óptima con uso eficiente de recursos. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos Cumucore está desarrollando una red central móvil con particiones más pequeñas para favorecer la conectividad móvil en áreas más pequeñas con una población de 100 000 usuarios o menos. Su tecnología SDN analiza la red y crea divisiones o particiones de red más pequeñas. Cumucore se basa en un modelo de negocio de pago por uso para mantener baja la inversión inicial.
Objetivo
Cumucore is a flexible, modular and efficient virtualized software-defined 4G/5G mobile packet core to help mobile operators dynamically scale up or down their core network based on real network usage and end-user demand. In addition, our software-based network slice manager allows dynamically slicing the network to isolate IoT data from other traffic and to redirect media traffic to MEC functions that include media delivery (media caching or transcoding). Our product solves the need to provide high-speed ultra-reliable Internet connectivity for the growing number of devices (i.e. IoT) together with a reduction in latency and power consumption to support the requirements of massive machine-type communication and mission-critical applications, such as automotive, smart grid, healthcare or industrial automation. Our solution allows mobile operators to reduce up to 50% the traffic in their networks, while supporting maximum traffic performance (> 40Gbps), which serves to solve in few minutes (vs 3-6 months) the scalability and congestion problems of the existing hardware-based core architectures of main network infrastructure providers . Our pay-as-you-go business model is based on in-house development with cloud licensing using B2B channels. Operators will pay based on usage, thus, lowering their initial investment. Cumucore is also a resource-efficient product that will help reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint in mobile network infrastructure. During the FS we will carry out a technical, commercial and financial feasibility assessment so as to support an efficient Media Broadcasting (AR/VR and gaming) and identify suitable 5G use cases for Phase 2. Commercialization, partnership and IPR issues will also be addressed, together with detailed economic projections and analysis of funding requirements. We have successfully tested our solution in the 5G European market through the execution of projects for niche mobile operators.
