Goal
The focus of 5G-MoNArch is to develop a flexible, adaptable, and programmable mobile network architecture for 5G, and innovative features for industrial (resilience & security) and media & entertainment (resource elasticity) use cases.
The focus of the Hamburg Smart Sea Port testbed is on the provisioning of different application-specific network slices that use a common physical / virtualized infrastructure, and to implement the reliability, resilience and security features developed within the project.
