- The 5GMED project held a series of demo days in the cross-border section between Figueres and Perpignan to showcase usage examples of the functionality and cross-border challenges.
- The results of these Demo Days will be presented to the 5G community on November 8, 2023 in a webinar titled “5G Connectivity Beyond Limits in Mobility Cross-Border Scenarios.”
Barcelona/Ger, October 30, 2023.To demonstrate the progress of 5GMED Projectseries Demo Day was held on 25 and 26 October 2023 on the cross-border section between Figueres and Perpignan, an important part of the trans-European transport network. The event was hosted by the European Commission and focused on showcasing the capabilities of four use cases, addressing cross-border challenges and ensuring seamless services. With the presence of Serge Marcén, Director of Telecommunications and Digital Transformation at the General Directorate of Catalonia, attendees witnessed a comprehensive measurement of key performance indicators, showing their correlation with network indicators and the impact of roaming . The event also included various network-specific experiments that provided insight into network performance in cross-border scenarios.
5GMED Connectivity Beyond Limits
of 5GMED Projectis a cross-border initiative between France and Spain that is making significant progress in designing a joint 5G infrastructure for roads and rail in the Mediterranean Corridor. The project is primarily funded by the European Commission through the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No. 951947, with a total investment of EUR 16 million and is set to transform the future of mobility.
The main objective of 5GMED is to create a robust cross-border connectivity framework that seamlessly connects future mobility services. To achieve this, the project he focuses on four different use cases.
- Remote driving: Enable self-driving cars to request remote assistance in complex traffic situations, ensuring passenger safety and traffic efficiency.
- Digitalization of road infrastructure: Adopt intelligent strategies that use information from vehicles and roadside sensors to effectively manage highway traffic.
- Strengthening railway communications: Enhance rail safety and connectivity with onboard sensor monitoring, high-quality Wi-Fi, and multi-tenant mobile services.
- Follow-Me Infotainment: Deliver high-quality media content such as live streaming, video conferencing, and virtual reality to passengers traveling at high speed in cars and trains.
