The 5G-IANA project is calling for SMEs and start-ups from Europe to apply to the project’s first Open Call that will allow them to run their automotive network applications on top of the platform provided by the 5G-IANA project making use of 5G connectivity. The 5G-IANA consortium will support its participants to develop and integrate their innovative idea using the 5G-IANA platform, facilitating in parallel the developed Repository of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).

5G-IANA aims at providing an open 5G experimentation platform, on top of which third party experimenters, i.e., Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the Automotive vertical sector will have the opportunity to develop, deploy and test their services.

An Automotive Open Experimentation Platform (AOEP) will be specified, as the whole set of hardware and software resources that provides the computational and communication/transport infrastructure as well as the management and orchestration components, coupled with an enhanced Networked Application (nApp) Toolkit tailored to the Automotive sector, for simplifying the design and onboarding of new nApps.

The program starts in June 2023 and ends in October 2023. Applications are already open!
