5-ALIVE Support action for driving the 2020 infrastructure evolution towards holistic 5G networks
5-Alive will build up momentum within and beyond the European networking community and related application areas for driving the 2020 infrastructure evolution towards holistic 5G networks.This concept of holistic 5G networks is much more comprehensive than any previous network evolution generation as it will fully integrate all network technologies fixed, mobile, satellite, optical etc., into a very dynamic, software enabled, infrastructure that is capable of supporting massive increases in availability, reliability and throughput while dramatically reducing the energy requirements for the provision of such advanced communications services.
