The flagship project was launched in January 2022 CampusOS, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (cBMWK) is being subsidised with 30 million euros until March 2025. The aim of the project is to establish an ecosystem for open 5G campus networks through open radio technologies (Open RAN) and interoperable components. This should enable manufacturer independence and competition. 22 partners from research and industry are investigating different operator models for open campus networks, developing reference architectures, evaluating solutions in reference test fields and at the same time testing selected scenarios as prototypes in an industrial environment.
Together with CampusOS Partner Brown Iposs has the GPS presented a new radio heatmap application during the CampusOS roadshow at partner STILL in Hamburg. In order to guarantee a radio-based use case, sufficient and reliable spatial radio coverage is necessary for the time of use case operation. To monitor this, the field strength values in the relevant use case area are simulated and displayed from individual available measuring points collected during operation. If the coverage quality falls below the required level, automatic messages are generated to indicate a risk to secure use case operation. The parameters of the displayed heat map and the content of the messages can be configured depending on the use case application.
"The project CampusOS is being funded as part of the "Development of Digital Technologies" funding programme by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK) promoted."
