Showcasing 5G SA Experimentation Capabilities for Vertical Industries

The paper demonstrates the VITAL-5G platform capabilities to improve the adoption and effectiveness of 5G and beyond solutions within the Transport & Logistic domain by bridging the knowledge gap between industry stakeholders, network experts, and service developers. Therefore, in this paper, we present four distinct capabilities the VITAL-5G platform offers i) Facilitating deployment of vertical service in the 5G network, ii) Real-time monitoring of network and service performance and iii) Advanced failure diagnostics. IV) Utilization of 5G slices. To enhance the adoption and effectiveness of 5G and beyond solutions within the T&L domain, we showcase how the VITAL-5G platform hides the operational complexity from the experimenters, allowing them to express their network, application, and hardware requirements in a human-readable format, while in turn deploying complex services on the 5G SA infrastructure.
