EuCNC 2019 is the 28th edition of a successful series of a conference in the field of telecommunications, sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society and the European Association for Signal Processing, and supported by the European Commission. This conference is one of the most prominent communications and networking conferences in Europe, which efficiently brings together cutting-edge research and world-renown industries and businesses. EuCNC attracts more than 600 delegates each year and an exhibition space of more than 1,500 m2. The conference focuses on various aspects of 5G communications systems and networks, including cloud and virtualisation solutions, management technologies, and vertical application areas. It targets to bring together researchers from all over the world to present the latest research results, and it is one of the main venues for demonstrating the results of research projects, especially from successive European R&D programmes co-financed by the European Commission.
EuCNC 2019 will be co-located with the Global 5G Event, which brings together the world 5G industrial associations: 5G-IA, IMT-2020, 5G-Forum, 5G-MF, 5G-Brasil and 5G-Americas.
Presence of 5G PPP projects will be detailed soon and updated regularly. Videos are already available. Have a look on YouTube and stay up to date on Instagram and Facebook.

The 7th Global 5G Event “Creating the digital Future” will take place in Valencia, Spain on June 17-18, 2019. The event is organised by 5G IA/5G PPP and the European Commission.
Come to the one event that will give you a truly global view of 5G with the key representatives from Europe, China, Japan, Korea, Brazil and the Americas. Understand the global picture of where 5G is and where it is going! Listen to the state of the art in terms of global 5G research and trials activities, see this state of the art live with 5G demonstrations from around the world.
The 7th Global 5G Event is a unique opportunity for 5G PPP projects and European organizations involved in 5G to be exposed to 5G stakeholders from outside Europe. The next G5GE event is likely not to happen in Europe before 3 or 4 years.
The 7th Global 5G Event will be co-located with EuCNC 2019 (June 18-21, 2019).
The preliminary agenda is ready with top class presenters from around the world. The event will host expert panelists and speakers including business leaders, inventors, engineers, professors, technical experts and policymakers from around the world representing the leading 5G organizations. The sessions are designed to give insight into the continued progress on 5G technology worldwide with focus on government policies, promotions, services, trial projects and other industrial convergence opportunities. On Monday 17 June afternoon, a session on 5G regional trends will be held. On Tuesday 18 June, sessions on 5G for Business the future of 5G and the upcoming 8th Global 5G Event will be organised. On Tuesday 18 June afternoon, technical sessions on cross-regional projects and 5G KPI measurement are scheduled.
Information on 5G PPP presence will be detailed soon and updated regularly. Videos are already available. Have a look on YouTube and stay up to date on Instagram and Facebook.

5GCity – Transforming Cities into 5G Neutral Hosts 5G Live Broadcasting announced
2019-06-06 08:00 - 2019-06-07 17:00
The 16th edition of European Digital Forum – 6 and 7 June, Lucca (IT), is ready to set the scene in the evocative Real Collegio of Lucca. This 2019 edition renews a further leap forward for themes, speakers and new scenarios, including 5G, UHD/4K, STREAMING, GLOBAL MEDIA, VR / AR.
The 5GCity Consortium will be participating also this year at the event with a bold series of activities: panel discussions with the 5G and Media communities convened in Lucca, showcasing of new demos and a new live outdoor trial based on the 5GCity infrastructure deployed in Lucca. These activities aim to strengthen 5GCity collaboration with Media Verticals and the 5G business ecosystem, setting Lucca at the forefront of 5G activities in Italy.
The 5GCity project is developing a distributed cloud and radio platform for municipalities and infrastructure owners acting as 5G Neutral Hosts. It is a completely de-centralised 3-tier architecture where compute, storage and networking are allocated between core and edge segments of the 5G network infrastructure. On top of this distributed infrastructure, we provide unified control and orchestration of all the radio-edge-core resources, through powerful APIs and serviced design toolkits for innovative vertical application services, e.g. to program connectivity with QoS, implement flexible media acquisition, transcoding, etc. Our 5G Network Slicing and Service Orchestration technologies are used in live city pilots in the cities of Barcelona (ES), Bristol (UK) and Lucca (IT) to run trials of Media Verticals use cases which will assess how a Neutral Host operator can offer mobile connectivity solutions on demand to implement dedicated network slices for different media services in areas with a high concentration of users.
5GCity’s activities at the European Digital Forum are illustrated in the following Agenda:
EXHIBITION BOOTH
Thursday 6 and Friday 7 June 2019
In this exhibition booth we plan to showcase how easy is to transform city infrastructures in 5G Neutral Hosts and how powerful and flexible the 5G service design and lifecycle management is with 5GCity platform. We plan to show to the international audience and broadcasters the 1st complete release of 5GCity platform, integrated and in support of a few relevant media use cases in a near real-life scenario. Furthermore, we will also present its 5G Neutral Host business modelling approach at the exhibition booth.
At the Booth it will be possible to test our demos (detailed next), discuss achievements with our technical team and collect information about our latest activities in particular for Lucca pilots.
DEMOS-TESTS
5GCity demonstrations at the European Digital Forum will consist of outdoor and indoor activities around the conference centre, distributed between the 5GCity exhibition booth and two main city locations: Torre Guinigi and Puccini’s Museum.
The 5GCity team will show different media use cases running on heterogeneous slices on the shared infrastructure managed by the 5GCity platform.
INDOOR ACTIVITIES
5GCity will present three demos at the booth:

5GCity Neutral Host Platform: This demo shows how the 5GCity neutral host platform enables an ICT infrastructure owner to slice and lease its infrastructure to 3rd parties (e.g. MVNO).
Video Acquisition & Production: This demo includes acquisition of live high-quality multiple videos from the event and streaming through 5GCity platform. Such services also can support the engagement of public in the media production for big events.
Augmented Reality service: This demo offers immersive experiences with distribution of UHD contents for city services. The demo leverages on 5G orchestration to offer immersive experience to end-user (e.g., tourists) who can see a reconstruction of antique city buildings and monuments in real-time with enriched context information superimposed via holographic models.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Interesting activities will be organized by 5GCity in two outdoor settings on June 6th and 7th:

Torre Guinigi, the tallest tower and iconic symbol of Lucca with its oak trees growing on roof top. Comune di Lucca, Nextworks, Cellnex, Comunicare Digitale will use the 5GCity platform deployed in Lucca and the availability of small cells to connect Torre Guinigi with Real Collegio, to implement a 5GCity LIVE BROADCASTING TRANSMISSION to European Digital Forum Conference Establishing a LIVE CONNECTION with interviews, comments and 5G project presentation, to demonstrate the 5G opportunities for broadcasters, media company, producers, digital and creative industry.

Puccini’s Birth Home and Museum, the heart of a unique Museum complex of the great composer, where Italtel and RAI have design and implemented the applications used in Immersive Video Services, including real time 360° video distribution, Augmented and Virtual Reality and 4K video distribution in crowded events.

Through this 5GCity-powered outdoor broadcasting events we will demonstrate the high portability of our 5GCity Neutral Host solution along with showcasing one key media use case for 5G in the city.
