ituma provides connectivity solutions primarily for customers in the carrier environment. ituma operates independently of manufacturers and follows a full-service approach. For the product aduno®, Ituma offers full support, further development, and consulting. The ituma GmbH will create the 5G SA ad-hoc network and will support or provide solutions for the management and connection to the networks of other deployed network technologies. The creation of interfaces, processes, and ensuring interoperability between different network components and manufacturers is a core task in the area of focus for ituma.
INTERLEV GmbH is a consulting and service company as a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) that possesses expertise in the areas of 4G/5G campus networks, quality assurance, SLA monitoring, and end-to-end network optimization based on its own software solutions. As part of AP1, INTERLEV GmbH will coordinate and systematize the creation of a requirements matrix for wireless technologies and networks. As a result, a gap analysis will address organizational and technical “pain points,” the overcoming of which is part of the project activities. INTERLEV GmbH coordinates parts of the project activities as well as the external representation and public relations of the project in consultation with HHI.
Dräger develops, produces, and distributes devices and systems in the fields of medical and safety technology. In the project, Dräger will develop an application to consolidate information at the deployment site and connect to the cloud. The app or its components, as well as interfaces for device-to-device communication, are intended to be transitioned from the demonstration stage to a market-ready version upon successful project completion. This is beneficial as Dräger already has a corresponding product for this target group with the “Dräger Smart Rescue System,” allowing the project results to potentially be integrated into this app.
telent develops tailored technology solutions and smart services for critical infrastructures (KRITIS) and the industry. In the project, telent focuses on the specific requirements of users for the use of dual-mode TETRA/LTE/5G devices. It is important in new technologies and solutions not only to consider the capabilities of the technology but also to understand the needs of the users and to develop practical solutions for them. Acceptance of the new solution is essential and will significantly contribute to an economically viable solution.
The Fraunhofer-Institut für Nachrichtentechnik, Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI) in Berlin is a world leader in the research of mobile and optical communication networks and systems, fibre-optic sensor systems as well as the coding of video signals and image data processing. In PICANT-BOS the HHI will develop and implement an ad-hoc Wi-Fi LLS network that supports critical functions for public safety communications (BOS). The HHI is developing the reference design for the operational scenario planned in the project and will actively participate in the standardization of WLAN.
The University of Rostock is represented in the project by the Chair of Integrated Systems and the Industrial Computer Science research group, both as part of the Institute for Applied Microelectronics and Data Technology. The University of Rostock has a wide range of experience with energy considerations in hardware systems and reliable data communication using 5G, which is also underpinned by a broad list of previous projects. The University of Rostock will play a key role in driving forward the development of end devices as well as the construction and connection of a 5G SA network to a public network. The focus here is on the (simultaneous) use of alternative radio technologies for resilient data transmission and the (automatic) integration of user electronics into critical networks for rescue tasks.
