High-tech and affordable 5G network roll-out to every corner

Descripción del proyecto

Abaratamiento de la implementación de la tecnología 5G

Las redes 5G llegan rápidamente gracias a la labor de desarrollo de equipos de red 5G por parte de los grandes proveedores y la de comercialización de los operadores de redes móviles. Sin embargo, es urgente contar con tecnologías adaptadas a tipos específicos de redes. El proyecto Affordable5G, financiado con fondos europeos, desarrolla una red 5G que ofrecerá una tecnología integrada y asequible que abarque las necesidades de las redes privadas y empresariales. El proyecto introducirá una innovación técnica que se extenderá a todos los recovecos de la red 5G, y apoyará la densificación celular, las divisiones unidad de radio/unidad distribuida/unidad central, la aceleración del «hardware», la computación en el borde y la virtualización de la red central con un uso generalizado de plataformas abiertas. Su innovación ayudará a las pequeñas y medianas empresas europeas a convertirse en pioneras en el mercado mundial de la 5G.

Objetivo

The large-scale rollout of 5G networks has started becoming a reality, with big vendors deploying 5G network equipment and MNOs being on the verge of its commercialization. However, in parallel to the deployment of such 5G high-performing network, there is an unprecedented urge to support solutions tailored to specific types of networks, capable of offering ubiquitous coverage with high data rate availability, densification and high capillarity of access points to enhance 5G system capacity.
Affordable5G aims at creating a 5G network that will deliver a complete and affordable solution covering the needs of private and enterprise networks through technical innovation that span across all parts of 5G network, leveraging cell densification, RU/DU/CU split, hardware acceleration, edge computing and core network virtualization, seamlessly combined with the adoption of open source RAN, MEC and MANO solutions, for cloud-native, micro-service based deployments.
To achieve its innovative and ambitious goal, the consortium brings together ten European SMEs, supported by MVNOs, system integrators and research institutes, grasping the opportunity to enhance their products, according to each company’s roadmap, while fostering collaboration among them.
In this way, Affordable5G will offer a first-class opportunity to European SMEs to become frontrunners in the global 5G competition, facilitating them in their commercialization paths and strategies in niche market cases of neutral hosting, private networks and MVNOs with new entrant actors.
The innovative solution will be evaluated and validated in two vertical pilots related to emergency communications and smart cities, which have been properly selected as being highly representative in terms of system performance, scalability, mobility patterns, slice types, deployment requirements and impact in the future 5G market.
