Private 5G Campus Network Enabled by OpenStack and StarlingX - Implementation and Research Use Cases

Explore a conference presentation detailing a five-year research project at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences implementing a private 5G campus network in Germany. Learn about the self-managed 5G standalone network operating in the 3.7-3.8GHz range, powered by OpenStack since 2016 and StarlingX from 2023 for mobile edge cloud deployment in a mobile data center. Discover various use cases being researched, including AR/XR applications, logistics, sensor technology, smart factory implementations, and autonomous robotics/drones. Gain insights into an upcoming sub-project planned for late 2023 that will implement a separate application using Magma and OpenRAN technologies. The presentation covers the project's scope from mid-2022 through its completion in mid-2027, demonstrating how educational institutions can leverage private mobile networks following Germany's release of 5G frequencies.
