5G-CORAL Shortlisted for Glotel Award for Contribution to 5G Development
September 11 2019 - 4:30PM
InterDigital, a mobile and video technology research and
development company, today announced that 5G-CORAL has been
shortlisted for a Global Telecoms (Glotel) Award in the ‘Best 5G
innovation’ category. 5G-CORAL, a European and Taiwanese
H2020-funded project, is demonstrating how distributed data and
microservices deliver on the low latency and high bandwidth
promises of 5G, and supports 5G use cases including virtual
reality, connected cars and the internet of things. InterDigital is
the technical lead for 5G-CORAL.
The Glotel Awards, organized by Telecoms.com,
aim to shine a spotlight on the industry’s most innovative
companies. The awards recognize the companies advancing and
transforming today’s telecoms industry. 5G-CORAL has been
shortlisted for the award alongside China Mobile, Qualcomm,
Vodafone Germany and ZTE.
5G-CORAL is led by a consortium of 10 technology
partners, made up of ADLINK PrismTech, Azcom Technology, Ericsson,
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), InterDigital,
National Chiao Tung University, SICS Swedish ITC AB, Telcaria,
Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM), and University Carlos III of Madrid
(UC3M). The project is leveraging edge and fog computing in the
radio access network (RAN) to deliver on the low latency, high
bandwidth promises of 5G.
InterDigital has been responsible for the full
technical leadership of 5G-CORAL. It has been leading the
development of the project’s edge and fog computing system (EFS)
data plane, as well as contributing to the development of the
project’s design and orchestration control system (OCS) control
plane. InterDigital has also been responsible for the
implementation of 5G-CORAL in two testbeds: 360 adaptive video
streaming and fog-assisted robotics. These testbeds were conducted
in Taipei, Taiwan in late 2018, and showcased how edge and fog
computing can support these data-intensive 5G use cases—something
that simply cannot be done today with existing network
infrastructure or the cloud.
Alongside the Glotel Awards, 5G-CORAL has also
been shortlisted for a CSI Award in the ‘Best 5G project and
innovation’ category.
Commenting on the shortlisting, Alain Mourad,
Director Engineering, at InterDigital, said: “We are delighted to
have been shortlisted for this award. This, along with the CSI
Award, is the second shortlisting for 5G-CORAL, demonstrating the
value that we and the other consortium partners are bringing to 5G
innovation. We are proud to see the value of our contribution be
recognized by prestigious industry award schemes.”
Winners of the CSI and Glotel awards will be
announced in Amsterdam on September 13, and in London on November
7, respectively.
