About the Project
The 5G-Testbed Berlin is presented by the Innovationscluster 5G Berlin. It is described as a 5G test field that has been created to investigate new 5G technologies in urban areas and to test new applications. The open test bed operates independently of commercial 5G network operators.
Infrastructure and Approach
- The infrastructure is described as long-term available and association-owned.
- The approach is open at both technical and organizational level.
- The text describes it as the only 5G standalone network including high-performance test infrastructure that does not require support from the conventional LTE network.
Commercial and Open Source Solutions
- Radio network: an open source stack and use of own hardware development.
- Optical network: disaggregated optical networks and use of own hardware development.
- Open source virtualization solutions such as OSM and ONAP, and a Software-Defined Transport Network (SDN).
Why It Matters for Smart City Applications
The testbed is intended for testing new 5G applications for the Smart City, and it represents all relevant technology components of a convergent 5G network.
