5G-MoNArch Testbed in Turin

With the completion of most of conceptual work, and the successful implementation of a testbed in Turin, 5G-MoNArch organises a project dissemination event at Palazzo Madama in Turin, including presentations or the core research and innovation results and a live demonstration of the Touristic City testbed and its implemented applications. The event takes place on May 24th, 2019, from 10:30 to 14:30 at the Palazzo Madama, Piazza Castello.

The event will start with a workshop providing the perspective of key stakeholders related to smart city digital tourism services on the opportunities that 5Gwill bring in such contexts. The Touristic City testbed will then be open to event attendees for a live Virtual Reality experience of the Madama Reale chamber, accompanied by a detailed insight into the5G-MoNArch implemented technical solutions and innovations.

The event is co-organised with the essential collaboration of the Municipality of Turin and Fondazione Torino Musei.

Agenda and registration are available online here. Registration closes on May 17th, 2019.

5G-MoNArch Testbed in Hamburg

With the completion of most of conceptual work, and the successful implementation of a testbed in Hamburg, 5G-MoNArch organises a project dissemination event at Dialoghaus in Hamburg! 5G-MoNArch will provide a live experience of the implemented industrial applications for improved sea port operations.

The event takes place on June 5th, 2019, from 10:30 to 15:30 at Dialoghaus in Hamburg.

The control systems used by the HPA up to date are already the most progressive in the world and the interplay between their sensor technology, analysis, forecasting and information systems delivers significant efficiency improvements. The Smart Sea Port testbed represents the next step in creating a digital port – and in shaping Hamburg’s future. The overall goal of the testbed is to provide a wireless infrastructure that can handle a large number of the use cases of the port’s day-to-day work. As all these use cases have rather different requirements in terms of the reliability (guaranteed network connection), resilience (guaranteed availability, even in the case of failures), and the support for service diversity, but a dedicated communication infrastructure for each of them would be rather inefficient, a 5G mobile network that supports network slicing is the appropriate solution. Within the scope of 5G-MoNArch, the Hamburg Smart Sea Port testbed focuses on three selected use cases that share a common mobile network infrastructure. The 5G radio base station is installed on the television tower close to the Hamburg trade fair and congress centre (extensive coverage).

Agenda and registration are available online here. Registration closes on May 29th, 2019.
