DARK-5GDARK-5G is a portable 5G network solution designed to restore communication in underground disaster scenarios, such as subways and tunnels, where traditional wireless systems often fail. It features a 5G network-in-a-box based on Open5GS and USRP, leaky cable technology for deep tunnel coverage, WiFi-based IoT sensors for locating trapped individuals, and a control center for monitoring and coordination. By enabling connectivity in harsh underground environments, DARK-5G supports more effective emergency response and coordination. |

HoloFIDHoloFID is designed to enhance FIDAL through three key contributions. First, it introduces a new 6G testbed developed by i2CAT, integrated with FIDAL’s Telenor testbed under the SNS 6G-XR and SUNRISE-6G projects. Second, it deploys and showcases a cutting-edge, real-time, multi-user XR holoportation use case, combining i2CAT’s HoloMIT platform with Brainstorm’s InfinitySet to enable immersive cultural and musical experiences. Third, HoloFID conducts large-scale trials across testbeds to evaluate performance, resource usage, and user experience, generating valuable data for further research and development. |

ReDrone5GThe ReDrone5G project aims to develop and implement an advanced system for real-time remote control of drones using 5G connectivity. By leveraging the ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth capabilities of 5G networks, we aim to transmit high-quality, low-latency video streams from drones to a central control station. This enables pilots to operate drones remotely based on live video feeds, effectively eliminating the need for them to be physically present near the drone's location and enhancing operational flexibility. |

5G-SHIELD5G-SHIELD is a testbed designed to enhance safety in Industry 4.0 settings by creating "presence awareness". It uses a private 5G mmWave network, combined with camera data and edge AI, for ultra-precise, real-time tracking of workers and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Workers wearing AR headsets receive instant visual alerts and see dynamic safety zones, preventing accidents. The goal is to improve safety and efficiency in automated industrial environments. |
