The project solutions are demonstrated through a proof-of-concept infrastructure setup at Airbus in Munich. Network equipment from Ericsson, including ground macro base station radio equipment products, a connectivity and virtualization “flight rack”, and 5G virtualized core network functionalities are delivered and operated from Ericsson’s ICT Development Center Eurolab near Aachen (which is also engaged in Ericsson’s 5G for Germany program, the 5G Connected Mobility infrastructure program and other similar 5G programs). Critical components for seamless mobility between ground networks and small-cell shared networks inside aircraft have already been demonstrated in December 2016. Solutions that also integrate an air-to-ground system for aircraft are planned to be demonstrated in 2017.
