What's new?
2 new European research projects with Japan and Korea in the Internet of Things (IoT) and the 5G for Mines-Telecom Institute
The European Commission has announced in late May the results of the two joint calls Europe/Japan and Europe/Korea of the Horizon 2020 program dedicated to digital. Mines-Telecom Institute is taking part in two new projects in the fields of IoT (South Korea) and 5G (Japan) thanks to the researchers of its schools, Télécom SudParis and Eurecom.
Internet of Things Project:
The Wise-IoT project gathers top-tier European and Korean contributions on key standardization activities of the IoT.
Télécom SudParis will bring its Social IoT and semantic skills and pilot a federative approach combining both social networks and IoT.
5G Pagoda Project:
The Pagoda Project involves the participation of European and Japanese partners (Such as Ericsson, University of Aalto in Finland, Eurecom, Orange Poland, Universities of Tokyo and Waseda, telecommunications operator KDDI, Hitachi and NEC).
The objective is to create a mobile virtual network that can be deployed upon request and dedicated to an application during the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.
Eurecom will bring his “softwarization of network” skills and its tool Open Air Interface (OAI) for the implementation of the solutions defined during the project, in an 5G open source platform.
"We are living exciting times, in which we are experiencing the 3rd industrial revolution that started transforming the world as we know it. AI (Artificial intelligence) is changing jobs, services and everything around. 20 years from now, the new generation will ask themselves, "How did our parents manage to drive cars?!", in the same way we ask ourselves today, "How did our parents manage to find an address without GPS!?" In order to keep up with today's peace we have to learn and reinvent ourselves everyday. There is no excuse for not doing so, in an era in which we have the world at our fingertips!"
Aurel Proroocu features in The new volume of "100 faces of innovation" published by the Financial Times and Nemira, which is going to be released in August.
