Fed4FIRE+ is an Integrating Project under the European Union’s Programme Horizon 2020, addressing the work programme topic Future Internet Research and Experimentation. It started in January 2017 and will run for 60 months, until the end of September 2021.

The H2020 project ElasTest aims at assisting companies developing large scale complex distributed systems to create a testing ecosystem that enables them to reduce time-to-market and ship software products that are more robust while at the same time increase the productivity of developers and testers.

Principal goal: Federating Japanese and European 5G Testbeds to Explore Relevant Standards and Align Views on 5G Mobile Network Infrastructure Supporting Dynamic Creation and Management of Network Slices for Different Mobile Services.

The 5G-ready Trial Platform is one of two projects of the Fraunhofer-Institutes FOKUS and HHI. It will provide 5G mobile and network technologies for the 5G Test Field Initiative of the Berlin senate for economics, technology and research.

The innovation project aims to bring a Smart City backend solution to market by testing and extending it within the two FIRE facilities FUESCO Playground in Germany (using the standard compliant OpenMTC framework) and the FIT IoT-Lab in France (using a wide range of programmable sensors).

The Consortium is pursuing the integration of experimental facilities, testbeds and laboratories into a Federated testbed in the context of FIRE+.

The goal of the SmartOrchestra project is to develop an open and standard-based service platform that enables the openness and utilization of public and business-related services. 

BERCOM addresses the issue of resilient energy supply and communication capabilities for controling units of critical infrastructures under adverse circumstances like massive power failures or cyberattacks. A key component for the resilience is a specifically hardened mobile communication infrastructure.

The project is part of the Fraunhofer MAVO (“Marktorientierte Strategische Vorlaufforschung”, German for: “Market Oriented Strategic Advanced Research”) Initiative and is considered of top strategic relevance in the scope of wireless communication for the Industry 4.0.

5G will realise a true Internet of Things, a network capable of supporting potentially trillions of wireless connected devices and with overall bandwidth one thousand times higher that today's wireless networks.

FIESTA aims to empower Experimentation-as-a-Service (EaaS) for sharing and reusing IoT data. The project is going to provide a blueprint experimental infrastructure, tools, techniques, processes and best practices for enabling IoT testbed/platforms operators to interconnect their facilities in an interoperable way.

The FLEXCARE project adds significant value to the EU FP7 FLEX project, by providing highly relevant new capabilities to experimenters in the field of LTE research and beyond (5G). It is addressing the following two objectives.
