The aim of the 5G-EVE project is to deliver a European Validation platform for Extensive 5G trials. The project was launched in July 2018 and will see the development and implementation of sophisticated 5G testing infrastructures in several inter-connected places throughout Europe. About 28 partners from seven countries, including four of the key EU operators as well as six vertical market firms, are involved in the project.
5TONIC member company Ericsson hosted the first plenary meeting of the team in its Madrid offices and ensured that the agenda also included a visit to the co-creation lab, which has been nominated as one among the major EU 5G-EVE testing centers.
Ericsson, as well as other 5TONIC member companies like Intel and CommScope, has already deployed technology and infrastructure solutions within the laboratory to facilitate the testing and verification of 5G use cases within smart tourism, autonomous vehicle guidance (AVG), and the remote control and monitoring of personal devices and critical equipment.
Various test validation projects were demonstrated to the project team. Among these were the projects developed to decrease latency in IoT communications, particularly with regards to AVG; the application of Massive MIMO to boost user speeds and increase the capacity of the system to the levels needed to fulfill 5G standards; and also a proof of concept demonstrating how orchestration and virtualization can integrate intelligent devices with edge computing to execute video analysis with the help of artificial intelligence.
Within the EU’S 5G-EVE project, the collaborative study by the member companies will be a part of an open, end-to-end, 5G testing platform connecting centers in Greece, France, and Italy with the Spain-based 5TONIC lab.
