The 119th TechDay @Altice Labs took place on March 3rd, entitled “R&I: Experimental Infrastructures and Services”, which was presented by 5 speakers, all from the Innovation and Technology Strategy department of Altice Labs. In this event, which took place online, there was an opportunity to get to know Altice Labs’ 5G experimental infrastructure, essential for the innovation process.
Pedro Carvalho explained the program at national and european level, namely the european program for 2021-2027 and national funding programs. He also presented the most relevant programs for Altice Labs’ strategic areas.
Jorge Carapinha presented the 5G-Vinni project (2018-2021) that allowed the construction of a set of experimental 5G infrastructures, one of which is at Altice Labs. This infrastructure was used as support in other projects, namely RESISTO (2018-2021), where Altice Labs was responsible for a use case, related to the resilience of 5G networks through data analytics and machine-learning (ML) techniques.
In turn, Álvaro Gomes presented the 5Growth project (2019-2022) which aims to empower the 5G verticals in the areas of industry 4.0, transport and energy with an end-to-end, automated and shareable 5G solution.
Carlos Marques presented the 5GEpicentre project (2021-2023), which proposes to create an experimental end-to-end 5G platform for public safety and emergency response (PPDR), through the “containerization” of network functions, dynamic 5G slicing and use of ML, promoting a “5G-as-a-Service” experience.
Bruno Santos presented the 5G-ZORRO project (2019-2022), a project that aims to implement a new platform based on orchestration and distributed management. Altice Labs’ contribution focuses on the identities and permissions management module.
The session concluded with a Q&A panel.
