5G-EPICENTRE Webinar #1

Innovative 5G services and experimentation for Public Protection and Disaster Relief

Description

The H2020 5G-EPICENTRE project (https://www.5gepicentre.eu/) deals with the development of an open, end-to-end 5G experimentation facility targeted at the needs of the PPDR community. More specifically, the project will undertake the unification of multiple constituent 5G platforms into an advanced, user-friendly experimentation infrastructure accessible from a simple UI, alongside the implementation of a repository of cloud-native/containerized network functions (CNFs) and applications (Network Applications) to address requirements on PPDR experimentation environments. 5G-EPICENTRE aims to have a high impact potential for the targeted stakeholders as well as deliver convincing evidence of the value offered by 5G to both solution developers and the non-ICT audience in the PPDR vertical. This webinar aims at examining the project from a domain-specific viewpoint, and will present interesting applications and 5G-based PPDR services enabled by the 5G-EPICENTRE tools for experimentation.
