The Lead project CampusOS continued to be the solution for increasing productivity, ensuring vendorindependence, and enhancing Europe’s technological sovereignty through open and modular 5G campusnetworks.  

We are profoundly grateful to announce that our participation at spectacular MWC Barcelona event was a remarkable success!

The contributions and results of the following partners in this project have been presented:

Three partners from the CampusOS project (atesio, Deutsche Telekom AG, Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut) presented several use cases for communicating digital twins in the context of connected mobility. The exchange of information between digital twins, on one hand from the private 5G network and on the other hand from the application domain, creates new functionalities and interaction possibilities. 

As part of the CampusOS project, BISDN has successfully integrated their outdoor #IoT gateway solution "GreyBox" into a private 5G campus network. At the MWC, we demonstrated how the GreyBox can be used in road construction to collect environmental data and track the position of construction vehicles during asphalt paving, enabling seamless documentation and monitoring of on-site working conditions. 

EANTC AG – Test automation for disaggregated 5G campus networks. The EANTC demonstrated the automatic execution of a complex O-RAN-compatible test suite. All components of the test scenario (E2E) are controlled automatically, and the test is implemented and documented autonomously.

A key approach of CampusOS is to consolidate an overview of the various technical components used to realize open and modular 5G campus networks. The goal of CampusOS is to provide a catalog of technical building blocks for the realization of specialized campus networks and to develop tools for dimensioning, planning, network management and optimization.  

Two partners from the CampusOS project (Kubermatic, Fraunhofer HHI) and the associated partner airpuls  demonstrated the flexibility of open modular campus networks with an end-to-end demonstration of an O-RAN-compatible virtualized 5G network. The demand-dependent shift of the 5G core between cloud and on-premise infrastructure based on container virtualization has been demonstrated in order to address both scalability and low latency.  

MUGLER SE presented two key software solutions for private 5G networks – 1^st is about a Demonstration on E2E real-time monitoring with NOC_lite for simplified handling of disaggregated and geographically distributed private 5G network solutions; The 2^nd  Demonstration on mobile video inspection system MOVIS is for technical support, remote acceptance work including documentation, quality assurance, fault analysis, technical consulting and training. 

Meeting the surging demand for reliable and high-performance campus networks, Rohde & Schwarz introduces the R&S®LCM, a groundbreaking network performance monitoring probe that unlocks exceptional insights into network performance and reliability in business-critical environments. Empowering campus network excellence, the R&S®LCM together with the integrated R&S®QualiProbe software enables stakeholders to optimize performance, ensure reliable private network operation, and build trust in 5G as a reliable communication system for business-critical use cases. 

Node-H presented the work done with Node-H cells in the 4-reference field test and explains the O-RAN functionality of the software that enabled these activities. 

Furthermore we appreciate the partnership with: xG-INCUBATOR: Massive Beams GmbH & airpuls GmbH and i14y Lab.

The CampusOS flagship project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and led by the Fraunhofer Institutes FOKUS and HHI. The project results contribute to increased manufacturer independence, enhanced competition and innovations to strengthen the digital sovereignty of companies in Germany and Europe.  

The project will conclude in March 2025 and the activities will be continued in the Alliance for Open Enterprise Networks (xG-ALOE), which is open to further partners. You can find more informations here: xg-ALOE
