5G-EVE

5G-EVE Greece:

The 5G EVE  Greek site facility covers a region of Northern Athens, around the R&D site of the Greek National Telecommunication Organization (OTE). The facility serves as a testing ground for services, equipment, and new features prior to their commercial release (including [pre-]5G equipment), while it also maintains a connection to the commercial 4G+ network of OTE.

5G-EVE Italy:

The 5G-EVE Italian site facility, deployed in Turin, provides a coherent synthesis of live and laboratory-based experimental environments for the evaluations of 5G features and systems. The infrastructure includes 5G radio fronthaul and backhaul, open source tools for the management and orchestration of the NFV infrastructure and various networks offered by TIM to interconnect the various edge/peripheral locations to core datacentre sites and to other 5G EVE site facilities.

5G-EVE France:

The French sites of 5G EVE project offer a 5G end-to-end facility comprising infrastructure and equipment to support experimentation and validation of 5G technologies and applications

5G-EVE Greece:

• Industry 4.0 functionality with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
• Utilities applications on Smart Energy grid monitoring & ultra-reliable / fast fault detection
• Smart cities applications focused on Connected Ambulance

5G-EVE Italy:

• Smart Transport: Intelligent railway for smart mobility
• Smart Campus
• Smart cities: Safety and Environment – Smart Turin

5G-EVE France:

Currently 2 internal verticals are integrated and tested in the French site facility. These 2 verticals are:

• First, the Video 360° virtual visit use-case provided by Orange that can propose virtual visit of touristic places and relieve the frequentation by directing interested tourists to a virtual visit instead of a physical one. The objective of this use-case is to validate some key KPIs such as the gain in latency and also in data throughput provided by the 5G.
• The second use-case implemented in the French site is the Smart Energy provided by EDF, the French electricity provider: The objective is to detect Fault management for distributed electricity generation in smart grids that aims at providing low latency and high sensors capacity.

5G-EVE Greece:

• RAN: LTE (up to 3GPP Rel.14) from April 2019 and 5G (Rel.15) planned.
• Ericsson indoor Radio Dot System (RDS) solution; RRH: RD2243 for 4G+ and RD4479 for 5G (planned); BBU 6630; EPC-in-a-box solution deployed on Ericsson Cloud Execution Environment
• Nokia Flexi Zone small cell solution; Nokia AirScale Radio Access solution (planned); Nokia CloudBand Application Manager and CloudBand Network Director; Nokia IoT platform.
• Athonet vEPC and EMS
• WINGS STARLIT platform; WINGS CATARACT platform.

5G-EVE Italy:

• Ericsson Radio System and Evolved Packet Core (Ericsson AIR6488 planned for NR; BBU 5216 for LTE and 6330 planned for NR); Ericsson Distributed Cloud; EPC-in-a-box)
• NFV MANO components (Open Source MANO as NFVO; OpenStack as VIM)
• OneM2M Platform

5G-EVE France:

• Each French site of 5G EVE provides HW and SW resources and integrates several technologies such as: 4G/5G, LTE-M, NB-IoT, WiFi. Several Frequency bands allocated by the French regulator have been provisioned to enable the experimentations. At the different edge nodes mainly opensource components are used for the implementation, except the Nokia node that implement an hybrid solution based on their own pre-commercial equipment and some opensource components.

5G-EVE Greece:

• 5G-EVE testing framework and common testing tools.

5G-EVE Italy:

• 5G-EVE testing framework and common testing tools.
• PRISMA Multi-UE load emulator
• AirMosaic for test scenario configuration

5G-EVE France:

• The consolidated testing suite for 5G EVE French Sites, from 2019 onwards, adopts 5G EVE testing framework baseline (please see www.5g-eve.eu)

Secure access (physical and remote) to the lab fcilities is provided to 5G EVE partners, and also to vertical partners of ICT19 projects

• Industrial verticals, with focus on public transport and smart mobility
• City municipalities
• Industry verticals (public, private, SMEs) willing to test their 5G-ready applications in and E2E 4G+5G lab
• Industrial verticals interested in the experimental validation of their service solutions in 5G environments.
