“Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) to strengthen knowledge exchange with the SNS community and collaboration” event

First “Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) to strengthen knowledge exchange with the SNS community and collaboration” event.

📅 Date: Thursday, 5 October 2023, 14:00-16:00

📍 Location: online.

👉 The DIH aims to facilitate the digitalisation of the European industry in the context of the Digital Europe Programme. SCoDIHNet is the network of DIHs with expertise in the domain of Smart Connectivity (5G/6G, IoT, Security).

DIHs aim to develop the links between end users (industry) and technology providers, of which SNS JU projects are considered key sources. To this end, various initiatives are being developed focusing on replicability, mapping of technology providers and end-user requirements.

The replicability initiative aims to facilitate the reuse of use cases/solutions developed and experimented with by SNS projects by compiling them in a regularly updated catalogue and from which DIHs could pick up use cases and solutions which fit their customers.

Network Applications: Opening up 5G and Beyond networks, V2.0

The concept of “Network Applications” is introduced following this idea. It is defined as a set of services that provides certain functionalities to verticals and their associated use cases.

The Network Applications is more than the introduction of new vertical applications that have interaction capabilities. It refers to the need for a separate middleware layer to simplify the implementation and deployment of vertical systems on a large scale. Specifically, third parties or network operators can contribute to Network Applications, depending on the level of interaction and trust.

In practice, a Network Application uses the exposed APIs from the network and can either be integrated with (part of) a vertical application or expose its APIs (e.g., service APIs) for further consumption by vertical applications.

This paper builds on the findings of the white paper released in 2022. It targets to go into details about the implementations of the two major Network Applications class: “aaS” and hybrid models. It introduces the Network Applications marketplace and put the light on technological solution like CAMARA project, as part of the standard landscape.

EuCNC & 6G Summit 2023

EVOLVED-5G was present at EuCNC & 6G Summit 2023! The 2023 EuCNC & 6G Summit built on putting together two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC (European Conference on Networks and Communications), supported by the European Commission, and the 6G Summit, originated from the 6G Flagship programme in Finland, one of the very first in its area. It brought together cutting-edge research and worldrenown industries and businesses, globally attracting in the last years more than 1300 delegates from more than 40 countries all over the world, presented and discussed the latest results, and an exhibition with more than 70 exhibitors, for demonstrating the technology developed in the area, namely within research projects from EU R&I programmes. EVOLVED-5G reserved a booth, presented accepted conference papers and introduced numerous visitors to the concept and the achievements of our project! Apart from the booth several other activities took place in the context of the conference.

The following list tentatively describes the activities, performed there:

  • “The 3GPP Common API Framework: Open-Source Release and Application Use Cases” Conference paper
  • “5G and B5G NEF exposure capabilities towards an Industrial IoT use case” Conference paper
  • “5G and B5G NEF exposure capabilities towards an Industrial IoT use case” paper presentation by George Makropoulos from NCSR “DEMOKRITOS”
  • “The 3GPP Common API Framework: Open-Source Release and Application Use Cases” paper presentation by Dimitris Tsolkas from Fogus Innovations
  • Pal Robotic’s Video Demo. Find it online here ➢ Telefonica’s Validation Pipeline flow demo video.
  • Overall’s project presentation used at booth.
  • Internet Institute’s live demo
  • EVOLVED-5G project material could also be found at the SNS booth of EuCNC & 6G Summit 2023.
