This UC aims to optimise streaming services in mobile environments enabled by 5G technologies, including mmWave, edge computing and media streaming standards, i.e. NBMP and MPEG SAND. It follows the multi-CDN concept and extends the streaming service’s CDN to trains by equipping them with caches.

The main objective of this UC was to automate the monitoring process and improve inspection methods and maintenance procedures of energy utilities as Factories of the Future, both for cost/time reduction and quality improvement.

The Rail Critical Services at the 5G-VICTORI facility in Berlin comprise five representative types of services. Four of them are related to communications between the Office and onboard a train, and the last one is offered as a wayside service.

The UC proposes a multi-technology infrastructure to provide connectivity to a train as it moves along a railway track around the city of Patras.

Remote vision provides live video streaming out of a frontal camera installed on the moving stock.

PIS enables passenger information managers to create, distribute and present integrated, synchronised real-time visual, and audio announcements and time information in the trains, “Trackside” and “On-board".

CCTV systems enable real-time viewing of onboard cameras and continuous video recording

TCMS establishes communication between the vehicle and the trackside.

An ATO application is also an on-board to trackside data communication, which has to imitate the behaviour of the train drivers when a mission is assigned to them.
