Provided by the industrial partners of the project
Developed by Eurecom
LTE software and hardware will be fully integrated to the
control and management framework of the testbeds.
Monitoring, RF emulation and mobility (controlled,
uncontrolled and emulated) frameworks will be developed.
Organization of two Open Calls for experimentation with
the facilities.
