Horizon 2020 Proposal
Supporting PPPs (public-private partnerships), including Future Internet.
Speech of EC VP. Neelie Kroes
Barcelona, World Mobile Congress, Feb. 2013, call for action to industry to submit partnership proposals for an advanced 5G future network infrastructure
Part of an integrated approach to Future Internet
Cloud strategy (research, legal and procurement), PPP Internet as an innovation accelerator (generic enablers, platforms, new actors, entrepreneurship, innovation), FIRE (experimentation)
Towards an Integrated ubiquitous ICT infrastructure
"5G" initiative for Europe - context
not a linear extrapolation of 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G…
instead, focus on…
capacity and application crunch;
convergence environment between networks and cloud computing
true seamless convergence between fixed and mobile
true ABC (Always Best Connected)
optimised operation and deployment costs
support to innovative applications
So, what do we mean by 5G?
Multiple actors called upon to contribute: telecom, IT, microelectronic, users, SME's…
Validation through experiments and testbeds
Clear KPI's as design goals:
Providing 1000 times higher capacity and more varied rich services compared to 2010.
Saving 90% energy as today per service provided.
From 90 hours to 90 min service creation.
Secure, Reliable, dependable: perceived zero downtime for services
A 5G initiative for Europe
Strong foundation:
Close cooperation with and within community
Strong and visible community (800 entities in NET!works) – but not restricted to.
Industry oriented strategy
What the PPP brings:
Long term commitment from both public /private side
Greater impact on innovation and leverage effect on complementary sources of financing
A 5G initiative for Europe - rationale
more partnership, more commitment, more leverage!
Key factors of success
• Bundle competence in EU to develop next generation networks and information systems for 2020
• Address full innovation cycle and leverage "eIndustry"
• Smart networks and novel architectures to serve highly demanding requirements;
• Bring together IT, Cloud Computing, Network virtualisation, IoT/M2M, big data analytics to reap innovation potential of novel usages and services
• Valorization of network data(nami) in high end applications;
• Network as (open) infrastructure for innovation
