Trials and Pilots Brochure #2 |
|
 The 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (PPP) Programme and its related funded projects are achieving outstanding progress and impact over the three consecutive phases (specification, development, experimentation/pilots), as regularly highlighted in the PPP Programme and projects websites and news.
The 5G PPP is proud to announce that the second edition of the 5G PPP Infrastructure -Trials and Pilots Brochure (N°2) is now available to provide an overview of the latest 5G PPP Trials & Pilots achievements. The Phase 2 and Phase 3 projects have validated, trialed, and piloted 5G in many vertical sectors (e.g., Automotive, Industry, Media & Entertainment, Public Safety, Health, Energy, Smart Cities, Transport & Logistics, etc.). The first “5G Infrastructure PPP – Trials & Pilots Brochure” released in September 2019 highlighted 10 of the most impactful Phase 2 Trials & Pilots, selected by a PPP panel of experts and based on the assessment of the Trials & Pilots impact and potential. The current Brochure n°2 leverages the experience from the first Brochure (including call for inputs and selection by a panel of experts) and brings to the readers’ attention 10 additional Phase 2 and Phase 3 Trials & Pilots that were recently completed. These Trials & Pilots have been evaluated and selected from over 20+ candidates, based on a number of pre-defined criteria (e.g., impact of 5G networks, achieved KPI, Technology and Market Readiness Levels, societal impact, 5G empowerment etc.). The selected Trials & Pilots are listed below according to the 5G Infrastructure PPP Phase they belong to and in alphabetical order:
This Second Edition of the Brochure n°2 is intended to encourage readers to look for more information and details, visit the PPP and projects websites, watch the Trials & Pilots videos, read the related documents, and interact with PPP participants in meetings, workshops, and conferences. Given the vast amount of work being carried out by the portfolio of 5G Infrastructure PPP projects, this Trials & Pilots Brochure n°2 can be no more than a sample of recent progress. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy reading it as much as we did while putting it together. As the 5G Infrastructure PPP has reached its most productive phase, many new achievements are expected in the coming months through the further development of the Phase 3 projects. A third edition of the Brochure is planned to be ready in June 2021. |

5G IA Pre-standardisation work group consultation on standardisation for B5G and 6G research |
|
 The 5G IA Pre-standardisation work group is running a consultation to identify the potential to impact standardisation from the expected timeline, phases, and key areas of work for B5G (Beyond 5G) and 6G research towards 2030. The idea is to collect feedback, which will be suitably anonymised, to help consolidating a B5G and 6G research with standardisation potential roadmap. Such a roadmap is expected to support activities related to the EU research ecosystem with the final aim of maximising impact on standardisation.
The consultation asks you to consider the “Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda 2021-27: “Smart Networks in the context of NGI”, as published by the European Technology Platform NetWorld2020 in September 2020 and, based on the technologies foreseen in that document, to give you opinions on the standardisation needs and opportunities for these technologies. Accordingly you are asked, as companies or research institutions, (not projects!) to download and complete the Questionnaire Document (as a Word Document) and submit your completed form via email to Questionnaire@5g-ppp.eu. The answers to the questionnaire shall not be shared outside the 5G-IA Pre-Standardisation WG, and are not binding in so far as you may update your views at any time (considering the dynamic nature of the topic) by resubmitting an updated version of the form. Any GDPR sensitive date gathered in this process will only be kept and used for the purposes for which it was gathered. An aggregated version of the results will be published as part of the standardisation road-mapping work in early 2021. This consultation was open until Friday 18th December 2020, after which the results will be compiled by the Pre-Standardisation WG. |

5G IA @5G & Verticals Tech Talk |
|
Dr. Colin Willcock, 5G IA Chairman of the Board, presented lessons learned in the 5G PPP at the 5G&Verticals Tech Talk held virtually on December 1st, 2020. He highlighted 5G networks are not only about higher throughputs and more reliable networks. In addition, 5G brings a greatly increased level of flexibility. This flexibility supports the development and deployment of novel new services, which have a diverse set of characteristics and are unable to be supported by existing 4G networks. Within the 5G PPP research projects such novel services have been created, by implementing different service parts over different network slices. 5G networks have been designated to be fully modular and allow the dynamic chaining of virtual functions and allocation of resources. These characteristics are the catalyst for the creation of an innovation ecosystem that is expected to shape the full digitalization of vertical industries.

5G and Beyond Activities Promoted by Member States |
|
One of the goals of the Member State Initiatives Subgroup (MSI) of the 5G IA Vision and Societal Challenges Working Group is to raise awareness on activities carried out by Member States which are revelant for the deployment of 5G communication networks and their evolution towards 6G. To that aim, the MSI subgroup has recently released the document entitled ‘5G and Beyond Activities Promoted by Member States’. As reported in this document, all Member States have developed their strategies/roadmaps for 5G deployment, and their evolution towards B5G/6G networks in the 2020-2025 timeframe. And in some cases (e.g., Nordic countries), transnational collaboration is envisaged, as well. Notably, frequency auctions for commercial use have been mostly finalized in Member States for the 3.6-3.8 GHz and 700 MHz bands; whereas consultations are on-going for 26-28 GHz bands and some allocations already (e.g., Finland, Italy). Complementarily, several temporary licenses for non-commercial use, pilots, trials, and R&D activities have been made available free-of-charge in some countries (e.g., Spain); and spectrum auctions for private networks have also taken place/are being considered (e.g., Germany, Norway). The report also describes how 5G open innovation ecosystems, technological clusters, platforms 5G cities and digital innovation hubs are supported by/planned in many countries (e.g., Finland, Spain, France, Norway, Germany, Netherlands) with strong participation of vertical industries. This is nicely complemented with specific funding to underpin 5G start-ups in some countries (e.g. Greece, partly supported with EU Recovery Funds). It is also worth noting that a high number of Calls for Proposals aimed to conduct trials & pilots and beyond 5G R&D activities have been launched (e.g., Spain, Norway, France, Luxembourg), along with others aimed to strengthen telecom network sovereignty and synergies with the microelectronics sector (e.g., in France). For further details, the interested reader is referred to the ‘5G and Beyond Activities Promoted by Member States’ document which can be downloaded from here). |

VTC2021-Spring Workshop CfP |
|
|
Helsinki, Finland – 25 April 2021. W4: 5G-enabled safety and support services for cooperative, connected and automated mobility Safety and support services running on top of 5G network infrastructures have a great opportunity to facilitate cooperative, connected and automated mobility (CCAM) for automotive and transport verticals in a variety of road conditions and operational environments. As the rollouts of commercial 5G networks continue all over the world, the increasing coverage and continuously evolving capabilities of the technology make it an ideal connectivity platform for a variety of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication scenarios. Critical network-based services enhancing the road traffic safety are able to exploit the ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) services offered by 5G. Other non-critical support services can rely on enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and massive machine type communications (mMTC) services provided by 5G networks and facilitate the operation of the intelligent road transport systems as well as the comfort and wellbeing of the drivers and passengers. The aim of the workshop is to exploit these opportunities from several perspectives. First, the workshop distributes the latest results assessing the suitability of the currently standardised 5G functionalities in a variety of CCAM scenarios. Second, the workshop discusses the gaps identified in the existing 5G capabilities when it comes to the heterogeneous requirements, stemming from these scenarios, and offers new technological solutions to fill the identified gaps. Third, the workshop considers novel services and concepts that 5G networks would enable to improve the safety and performance of CCAM. The workshop is organised by the EU Horizon 2020 5G-HEART and Celtic-Next 5G-SAFE-Plus projects. More information about the event here. |
