5G-INDUCE targets the development of an open, ETSI NFV compatible, 5G orchestration platform for the deployment of advanced 5G NetApps. The platform’s unique features provide the capability to the NetApp developers to define and modify the application requirements, while the underlay intelligent OSS can expose the network capabilities to the end users on the application level without revealing any infrastructure related information. This process enables an application-oriented network management and optimization approach that is in line with the operator’s role as manager of its own facilities, while it offers the development framework environment to any developer and service provider through which tailor-made applications can be designed and deployed, for the benefit of vertical industries and without any indirect dependency through a cloud provider.
The project focuses on the Industry 4.0 vertical sector, as one of the fastest growing and most impactful sectors in European economy with high potentials for application software development SMEs and with the capability to tackle all diverse cases of service requirements. The platform is integrated over three (3) 5G Experimentation Facilities in Spain, Greece, and Italy, while including links towards actual industrial sectors, for the showcasing of NetApps in a real 5G environment. The consortium includes all the required stakeholders (MNOs, Industries, System integrators and SMEs) from all the benefited business sectors evaluated within the project, while significant part of the work is conducted and exploited by innovative SMEs. It is noted that the 5G-INDUCE NetApp deployment and management framework is made available to third party NetApp developers, seeking to promote and evaluate their solutions through the 5G-INDUCE experimentation facilities.
The main role of UWS will be to lead to successful delivery of WP4 NetApp use cases development and onboarding. UWS will lead as well T4.2 Development of use case specific NetApps. Along with ININ, they are responsible for NetApp UC 5: Inspection and surveillance services for critical infrastructures.
