Future Experiment Opportunities

Network slicing

Imagine having multiple specialized lanes on your digital highway, each tailored for different types of traffic - that's network slicing. Like having dedicated lanes for VIPs, emergency vehicles, and regular traffic, ensuring each gets the performance they need. This means:

Features

  • Tailored network segments customized for specific applications or services.
  • Optimized resource allocation ensuring efficient use of network resources based on demand.
  • Enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) guaranteeing the required performance levels for different slices

Perfect for

  • Smart Cities
  • Industrial IoT
  • Entertainment
  • Telemedicine

O-RAN

Think of it like having a flexible, open-source digital highway where you can choose the best components from various suppliers - that's O-RAN. As a customizable road system, it allows for seamless integration and innovation. This means:

Features

  • Enhanced flexibility by being easily adaptable to new technologies and changing demands.
  • Components from different vendors work together smoothly
  • Reducing cost by leveraging open standards and competition.

Perfect for

  • Smart Cities
  • Rural Connectivity
  • 5G Deployment

Network on Wheels

What if you could bring 5G with you everywhere? If you find yourself in a situation where existing infrastructure is not available, this can be your friend indeed, with the solutions you need. This means:

Features

  • On-demand coverage with assured Quality of Service
  • Internet reachability over commercial network or on satellite links
  • Mission critical applications

Perfect for

  • Emergency responders
  • Live remote productions
