A 5G-Enabled Fog Infrastructure for Aut...

The project proposes a new infrastructure automation use case in the 5G Playground Carinthia (5GPG) called Kärntner Fog. Kärntner Fog plans to create and deploy a distributed service middleware infrastructure over a diverse set of novel heterogeneous 5G edge devices, complemented by a high-performance Cloud data center accessible with low latency according to 5G standards. Such an infrastructure is currently missing in the 5GPG and will represent a horizontal backbone that interconnects and integrates the application use cases. Kärntner Fog will automate the development and operation of the applications use cases in the 5GPG in an integrated and more cost-effective fashion to enable more science and innovation within a limited budget.
