5G-XHaul Project Conclusion and Final Demonstration
27.06.2018
Bristol, UK
5G-XHaul successfully ended with its "Project Conclusion and Dissemination Workshop" held on June 27th in Bristol, UK. The project successfully demonstrated its wireless and optical technologies in a real city wide infrastructure! The 5G-XHaul technologies have been demonstrated and tested in various partner laboratories and, as a final activity, they are also integrated in the city-wide testbed Bristol is Open, in Bristol. This final demonstration aims to showcase the overall 5G-Xhaul architecture and perform integration of the novel optical and wireless technologies. In addition, it aims to verify the control plane features and evaluate the end-to-end performance in a real network environment. The specific functionalities that will be shown include:
- a converged infrastructure supporting jointly FH and BH services,
- transport network slicing creating independent and isolated networks across the common infrastructure, and
- the use of SDN control to enable automatic recovery from failures.

5G-XHaul @ ECOC 2017
17.09.2017
Gothenburg, Sweden
With the advent of 5G new capacity trends are imposed on both the telecommunication and data communication networks. Many of the services that the 5G network delivers to user premises have stringent requirements. Reconfigurability features, provided by WDM technologies, can further increase fronthaul transport efficiency. Dr. Michael Eiselt from ADVA Optical Networking is giving a presentation on the wavelength-agnostic passive WDM technology which is being extensively developed in our 5G-XHaul project at ECOC2017.http://ecoc2017.org/programme/invited-papers/
