Guideline CampusOS

The CampusOS consortium publishes a guideline on »Open Private 5G Networks - from Business Needs to Realization«  for open and modular 5G campus networks.

 

Towards the end of the project 22 partners from industry and research have published a guideline for the construction and operation of open and modular 5G campus networks. The results support companies in the creation of future-proof 5G campus networks - from the definition of use cases to technical and non-technical requirements and finished networks. 

 

Read more about our results.

CampusOS Position Paper

CampusOS allowed us to gain a deep, hands-on expertise of the current state and potential of O-RAN's network monitoring and network programming capabilities.

 

"Optimizing O-RAN-based Service Management and Orchestration for Private 5G Networks" analyses O-RAN-based optimizations of customized, non-public networks, advocates for integrated SMO platforms, with unified RAN Intelligent Controllers (RICs) and the ample utilization of network automation mechanisms.

CampusOS Whitepaper 2

Our recent CampusOS Whitepaper 2 on “Operating Models for Open and Modular 5G Campus Networks” discusses the different value chains for four use cases to illustrate the versatility of 5G campus networks: Industry 4.0, agriculture, medicine, and crane operations. This publication also guides though challenges in realizing your own 5G Campus Network and sketches options for suitable operating models.

CampusOS Whitepaper

Our recent CampusOS whitepaper "Open and Modular 5G Campus Networks: Use Cases, Requirements, and Architecture" explores the potential of open and modular 5G campus networks in sectors like industry 4.0, agriculture, construction, and healthcare.

 

It discusses key benefits of openness and modularity for each use case and outlines requirements for tailored solutions that meet specific industry needs. It further provides an initial architecture consisting of functional components for an open and modular campus network.

 

Key discussion points:

  • Versatility & Integration: Open architectures foster seamless integration, while modularity tailors networks to distinct industry requirements.
  • Future-Ready Infrastructure: Potential to adapt to emerging technologies like localization and sensing.
  • Join the Conversation: Dive deeper into the CampusOS ecosystem for insights on operational models and a component catalogue for modular campus networks

CampusOS Position Paper

5G campus networks only unfold their versatile potential in an open, modular form 

 

5G campus networks are booming. Current analyses assume annual growth of around 57 percent in installations worldwide.* Nowadays campus networks are usually implemented based on single-vendor solutions. The CampusOS consortium, on the other hand, is convinced that open and modular campus networks with a mix of components from several providers offer many advantages and meet the requirements of increasingly diversifying applications, making them possible in the first place.  

 

To drive the development of such networks, the CampusOS consortium is supporting an ecosystem for 5G campus networks based on open, modular radio technologies and interoperable network components that are currently being developed. The ecosystem contains a construction kit that can be used to put together a suitable network depending on the application. The project group has now summarized the advantages of campus networks and its experiences with challenges such as cost pressure, interoperability and complexity, in a position paper which is available free of charge. 

 

We would appreciate to receive your opinions and feedback on the position paper. A survey is available here.
