On the 20^th of October 2022, Affordable5G conducted an in-person dissemination workshop on the premises of project partner National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) at the Evripos Campus, Psaxna, Dirfies Messapies, Greece. Here below, a brief report on the event:

After an introductory speech of Prof. Panagiotis Trakadas (Technical Manager of Affordable5G and Associate Professor in the Department of Port Management and Shipping), who outlined the project’s key pillars and technical novelties, all of the project outcomes were discussed within five thematic sessions (click on each session title to read/download the slides presented):

• 5G Key Enabling Technologies
  Prof. Panagiotis Gkonis (NKUA, Department of Digital Industry Technologies)

• Enabling 5G/6G Wireless Communications for Supporting Maritime Applications
  Dr. Nikolaos Nomikos (NKUA, Department of Port Management and Shipping)

• The Architectural Approach of Affordable 5G
  Prof. Lambros Sarakis (NKUA, Department of Digital Industry Technologies)

• Machine Learning Techniques for Private 5G Networks
  Dr. Sotirios Spantideas (NKUA, Department of Port Management and Shipping)

• Potential Use Cases for Private 5G Networks
  Prof. Panagiotis Gkonis (NKUA, Department of Digital Industry Technologies)

Students from the Departments of Port Management and Shipping and Digital Industry Technologies of NKUA were invited, resulting in a remarkable and significant engagement opportunity, as the outcomes of Affordable5G are directly related to various applications in the scientific areas of 5G private deployments in smart ports, Industry 4.0 applications and other connected topics/sectors.

The workshop counted 100 students attending, getting the opportunity to be informed on all key technical points of Affordable5G and discuss the aforementioned related applications – Certificates of attendance were issued to all students present to the sessions.

The post HIGH-TECH AND AFFORDABLE 5G NETWORK ROLL-OUT TO EVERY CORNER – Dissemination Workshop appeared first on Affordable5G project.

It has 2.000 permanent faculty members and 40.000 undergraduate students. Apart from the educational tasks, NKUA activities also include research and development in various state-of-the art topics. The General Department of NKUA, that belongs to the School of Applied Sciences, has a long expertise in activities focused on informatics, data communications and sensing technologies.

In the framework of Affordable5G, NKUA is involved in the design of the overall system architecture to support the implementation and validation of the three project pilots. Moreover, NKUA builds upon its expertise in AI/ML algorithms in order to provide a cross-layer framework that can support not only data collection from all involved architectural layers, but also network optimization and facilitation of decision making procedures. In addition, NKUA will be actively involved in the development of the components of the Affordable5G integrated management plane that will allow to manage the Afforadble5G integrated RAN, transport and compute infrastructure in a holistic manner. Finally, NKUA will supervise all related integration and validation procedures in Affordable5G, being the Technical Coordinator of the Consortium.
