Open cooperative 5G experimentation platforms for the industrial sector NetApps

Europe has taken steps to lead global developments towards 5G (the fifth generation of telecommunication systems), which will be one of the most critical building blocks of our digital economy and society. 5G will provide virtually ubiquitous, ultra-high bandwidth and low latency ‘connectivity’ not only to individual users but also to connected objects. The success of 5G technologies hinges on their ability to attract vertical stakeholders. In this context, the EU-funded 5G-INDUCE project targets the development of an open, ETSI network functions virtualisation-compatible, 5G orchestration platform for the deployment of advanced 5G network applications. The project focus is directed towards the Industry 4.0 service deployment environment.
