5G NORMA (5G Novel Radio Multiservice adaptive network Architecture) is a part of European Union’s (EU) 5G Infrastructure Public-Private Partnership (5GPPP). The consortium will work over the next 30 months, from July 2015 to create, and disseminate innovative concepts on the mobile network architecture for the 5G era.
Among the participants are the vendors and IT companies, including Alcatel-Lucent, NEC, Nokia Networks, ATOS, Azcom Technology, Nomor Research and Real Wireless. There are also operators like Deutsche Telekom, Orange and Telefonica in the endeavor. Among the academic partners are the University Kaiserslautern in Germany, Kings College London and University Carlos III Madrid.
“5G is not only about new radio access technology, network architecture will play an important role as well. 5G networks will have to be programmable, software driven and managed holistically to enable a diverse range of services in a profitable way. With 5G NORMA, the consortium aims to ensure economic sustainability of the network operation and open opportunities for new players, while leveraging a future-proof architecture in a cost- and energy-effective way,” said Dr. Werner Mohr, Chairman of the 5GPPP Association.
Azcom Technology focus on 5G
Azcom Technology, a leading player in LTE wireless communication solutions plans to utilize 5G NORMA concepts and related technologies to investigate potential network architecture options and implement a reference platform that includes HW and SW that demonstrates one or more 5G NORMA concepts.
