EU-South Korean project to demonstrate 5G system at 2018 winter games
To be demonstrated next week during the 2018 Winter Games, the 5G system proof of concept will combine seamlessly state-of-the-art terrestrial wireless communications, including future key enablers such as mmWave access, with disruptive satellite communication.
“This technology will form a 5G network with multi-radio-access technologies (multi-RAT) that is optimized to serve user equipment in various applications”, explained Emilio Calvanese Strinati, innovation and scientific director at Leti, and coordinator of the 5GCHAMPION project.
Visitors on Yulgok Street, also called IoT Street, will be able to experience the network while riding the 5GCHAMPION bus between event venues in Gangneung’s main area.
Wearing virtual-reality glasses, they’ll be able to “visit” almost instantaneously and in 3D a site in Oulu, Finland, via a 5G intercontinental connection developed by the project teams. The data-transfer speed on this proposed 5G mobile network will reach 2.5 Gbps.
The project team also investigated new 5G waveforms for satellite communication and algorithms to enable 5G “while on the go” while traveling at up to 500 km/h, such as on high-speed trains.
developed by Nokia and the University of Oulu’s
CWC laboratory as part of the 5GCHAMPION
project.
The 5GCHAMPION consortium, which includes 21 universities, research institutes and companies from Europe and South Korea is organizing a symposium, “From 5G Challenge to 5GCHAMPION Trials at the IoT Street near the Winter Olympic Venue”, to be held in Seoul, Feb 23 at the Conference Hall, Content Korea Lab (CKL), K’OCCA 16th Floor, 40 Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, from 9am to 6pm.
Leading corporations from Europe and South Korea, including Nokia, Orange Japan, Thales Alenia Space, KT, SKT and Samsung, will join international institutes, such as ETRI and Leti, for presentations. Supported by the Korean Institute of ICT Promotion and the Ministry of Science and ICT, as well as the French and Finnish embassies in Korea, this event will present participants’ outlooks on how 5G technology will shape the future of communication, industry and society, and the value of cross-border collaborations.
European partners include CEA Leti, NOKIA, Intel Deutschland, Thales AS, HHI Fraunhofer, University of Oulu, Tlepespazio, iMinds. South Korean partners include Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), SKT, KT, SMRT, Eluon, Clever Logic, Insoft, Mobigen, HFR, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Seoul National University, Dankook University and Hanyang University.
