Descrizione del progetto
Portare la connettività Internet ovunque
La connettività è fondamentale. Le soluzioni 4G e 5G mobile packet core definite da software basate su tecnologia SDN (Software Defined Network, rete definita dal software) possono consentire la comunicazione con dispositivi LTE pronti per l’uso creando partizioni diverse nella stessa infrastruttura. Tali partizioni di rete vengono allocate alle risorse e alle priorità di traffico per fornire una qualità di servizio ottimale ed efficiente dal punto di vista delle risorse. Il progetto Cumucore, finanziato dall’UE, sta sviluppando una rete core mobile a distribuzione ridotta per portare la connettività mobile in aree di minori dimensioni, con popolazione di 100 000 utenti o inferiore. La sua tecnologia SDN analizza la rete e crea divisioni o partizioni di rete di dimensioni ridotte. Per mantenere basso l’investimento iniziale, Cumucore si basa su un modello commerciale di pagamento a consumo.
Obiettivo
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.
