5G-EPICENTRE Testbedsin Aveiro
The Portugal experimental Facility-site is hosted by Altice Labs in Aveiro and has been built mainly in the framework of the H2020 ICT-17 5G-VINNI project (https://www.5g-vinni.eu). The figure below represents the main technological building blocks.
The infrastructure can be seen in the figure below.
The features supported are:
- Fully functional and validated indoor 5G SA infrastructure
- 5G NR – 3.7/3.8 GHz by ASOCS
- O-RAN compliant CU/DU/RU RAN functional splitting
- 5G SA Core based on Fraunhofer Fokus’ Open5GCore
- Automated deployment and lifecycle management of 5G core components by SONATA
- Integration of several 5G SA CPE devices validated (e.g. Huawei 5G CPE Pro H112-372)
- Limited support of 5G network slicing (in progress in O5GC)
- Integration of Open5GCore with Intel Openness for edge computing (AF-controlled traffic steering)
