Get in touch with the Internet ofThings

On the 29th of March, with around 120 guests

from industry, politics and research, the transfer

center "Internet of Things Lab" at Fraunhofer

FOKUS was inaugurated. In an extensive lab

tour, the varied potential IoT applications und

their technical basis were demonstrated.

NB-IoT Open5GCore Prototypewill be demonstrated for the firsttime at the IoT Week 2017

Recognizing the importance of massive IoT,

dense IoT deployments and customized IoT

edge networks, the Open5GCore team is

currently developing the NB-IoT features in the

core network, enabling efficient support for

message based communication and for non-IP

data paths. The first demonstration of the new

features will be at the IoT Week2017 (in Geneva

6-9.06.2017) (). With these features the

Open5GCore will provide the needed support for

deployment and evaluation of customized

testbeds for the IoT market.

MWC 2017: 5G Capital Berlin

In the German capital 5G is not a distant hype.

Already technologies for an intelligent network

infrastructure are being developed and test

environments are being installed, which can be

used for testing new applications. At the Mobile

World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona (Feb 27 –

Mar 2, 2017) the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS

presented the test environment 5G Berlin at the

booth of Berlin Partner.

#Berlin5GWeek 2017

Software Networks: Challenges & Opportunities and the Role of 5GUnderstanding SDN, NFV, MEC, FOG, IOT, and 5G Nov 06 - 10, 2017 - Fraunhofer FOKUS, Berlin, Germany

Based on the big success of the #Berlin5GWeek2016 we are proud to announce the 2017 edition. So

save the date to get your hands on 5G from November 6th to 10th, 2017 and learn about the globally

most discussed 5G hot topics, such as software-defined networks, network virtualization, network slicing

for 5G verticals, Industrial Internet/IoT, 5G multi-access network support, and 5G testbeds and most

recent technology PoCs.

Get together with international key experts from major operators, vendors and standards organizations at

the #Berlin5GWeek and join three of the most solid events related to software-based networks and 5G

technologies: 3rd IEEE NFV-SDN Conference, Industrial IoT Forum and the 8th FOKUS FUSECO

FORUM. For sponsoring and speaking opportunities contact us here.

The 3rd IEEE NFV-SDNConference 2017 - Part of the#Berlin5GWeek 2017

Nov 06 - 08, 2017 Fraunhofer FOKUS, Berlin, Germany

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and

Software Defined Networks (SDN) enable rapid

network and service innovation for all

participants in the future telecommunication and

5G ecosystems.

The 3rd IEEE Conference on NFV-SDN (IEEE

NFV-SDN 2017) is this year’s premier event for

the areas of NFV and SDN. After two highly

successful repetitions of the event in Bay Area

with more than 140 participants, it comes for

time first this year to Europe and is co-located

with the #Berlin5GWeek.

The Industrial IoT Forum 2017 -Part of the #Berlin5GWeek 2017 

Future Industrial Internet Connectivity, Semantics, Communicationand Programmability

Nov 08, 2017 Fraunhofer FOKUS, Berlin, Germany

Latest technological advancements in the areas

of Industrial IoT systems, networks, platforms

and data analytics will be presented alongside

with best practices and experiences gained from

latest IIoT testbeds and trials. Although focusing

on smart manufacturing/Industrie 4.0 and

logistics application domains, the usage of IIoT

technologies in the areas of smart energy, smart

transportation and smart cities will be covered.

The 8th FOKUS FUSECO Forum2017 - Part of the #Berlin5GWeek2017

Getting Business and NetworkInfrastructures Ready for 5G - First experiences and the way forward

Nov 09 - 10, 2017 Fraunhofer FOKUS, Berlin, Germany

This year we will look on the benefits and risks of

this emerging disruptively agile network and

service environment driven by the integration of

existing and new access network technologies,

new software paradigms, like edge computing,

network virtualization, network slicing, and

programmable 5G Core networks. Together with

leading operators, manufacturers, integrators as

well as various solution providers we want to

assess ongoing technology and business proofs

of concept and related 5G testbeds around the

globe.
