The Smart5Grid Final Event, took place on the 9th of April in Brussels, with an open invitation to interested parties.
The event started with an overview on the electric energy industry and the needs for digitalization. Modern smart grids need indeed a strong and reliable digital communication infrastructure to operate. We then discussed about the challenges of telco infrastructure and the lack of sustainability for completing the rollout of 5G Cores. Within this scenario, we illustrated the concept of Network Application, an extension of the virtualization paradigm to simplify the development of software artifacts to be run at the edge. Thanks to the facilitation tools implemented in the Smart5Grid platform, software developers can simplify the access to the 5G-based virtualization technology and accelerate the Network Application development and test. Our four real-life valuable pilots have then been showcased, explaining how the use of Network Applications can duly support the use cases and, being deployed in the edge, contribute to the verification of the 5G-PPP KPIs. At the end of the day, a roundtable discussion has lead us to draft our preliminary conclusions.
We would like to thank all the participants!!
