SDN Mobile Backhaul part of MEC and network slicing• 5G compliant slice management (NRF, NSSF) • SDN backhaul: European Innovation Award

5G infrastructure• Aalto 5G infrastructure fills the gap between

laboratory-based 5G testing environments

and commercial network deployments in real

deployment across the campus.

• 5G platform built together with industry vendors offer

trials tailored infrastructure configurations for

telecom and vertical industries and scientific

community

• Facilitate the deployment of new use cases for

verticals to support industry players to monetize

investment in 5G mobile networks

• Engage SME, start-ups and industry players to test

the benefits of 5G features with open platform for

experimentation (e.g. hackathons)

• Nokia donated 2x NR Radio heads to cover main road in the campus for several

research projects

(e.g. PriMO-5G: Drones, 5G-MOBIX: autonomous cars)

• Own license 3.5GHz (3640-3700 MHz with 60Mhz bandwidth

• Several 5Gs core both NSA and SA, own SIM with PLMN 50-592 x 5G RRH

eMBMS: Media broadcast over mobile network to effectively

deliver media to large audience and selected areas. Cumucore

provides end to end system including mobile packet core, media

ingestion delivered to LTE eNB and UE with eMBMS middleware.

1) public announcements or warnings

2) e-learning material or interactive video teaching

3) Health information

Step1: Open Dashboard

Step2: Select area for the broadcast session

Step3: Start session, select media source, start/stop

Enablers that made 5G research infrastructurehappen

• Government support (Trafficom): Granted Aalto University license

to operate 3.5GHz test network independently

• Funding agencies (Business Finland): Financial support facilitating

private sector-academia and government organizations working

together.

• Industry contribution (i.e. Nokia and Ericsson donations) to build

the 5G research infrastructure for co-creation and innovation.

• Commitment from academic partners i.e. Aalto, VTT, UH,TUT,

UOULU to focus research on this area and provide additional

investment.

12

Outcome

• 5G infrastructure to bring together multi-disciplinary research.

• Facilitate the deployment of new use cases for verticals to support

industry players to monetize investment in 5G mobile networks

• Engage additional SME, startups and industry players to test the

benefits of 5G features.

• Attract external investments to experiment with local companies

using the 5G infrastructure.
