This is an event where 5GENESIS and 5G!Drones (ICT-19) projects collaborated to showcase the use of 5G for control and video transmission over a drone. The event took place on 28/6/2021 – 2/7/2021, in the OTE Academy premises, Athens, Greece. More info can be found on the related video.
The 5GENESIS Athens 5G experimental platform was used by the ICT-19 5G!Drones project for supporting its Use Case: 4 “Connectivity during crowded events” trials at OTE Academy premises in Athens, 29-30 June 2021.
Dr. Harilaos Koumaras (NCSRD), 5GENESIS coordinator, presented on 27 January 2021 the “5G!Drones Trials in Athens: Results, Challenges and the Next Steps” at Drones 3S Pro online conference (Athens, Greece). Special mention was made on the 5GENESIS Athens platform where 5G!Drones project trials performed at the end of October 2020.

The Institute of Informatics & Telecommunications (IIT), NCSRD, dedicates in its newsletter the month of October to 5G Networks. The workshop “5G Trials in Europe: 5G Experimentation Facilities and Vertical Trials: Current Status and Future Perspectives” and the 5G!Drones Athens Trials are core topics of this newsletter. The workshop was successfully organised by the Media Networks Laboratory (MNL) on Wednesday 14 October, between 9:00-15:00 CEST, in the frame of H2020 projects 5GENESIS and 5G!Drones with the support of the 5G-PPP partnership. It was attended online by almost 100 participants. On 19-21 October 2020 in the frame of the 5G!Drones project, MNL’s researcher Dr. Harilaos Koumaras along with international consortium partners, i.e. Cosmote, HEPTA, CAFA Tech, robots.expert, Municipality of Egaleo and INFOLYSiS conducted technical flight trials with drones in 5G network at the Stavros Mavrothalassitis municipal stadium of Egaleo and at Cosmote Academy.

On Wednesday 21st of October, 5G!Drones project finalized a set of trials at the 5GENESIS Athens platform at COSMOTE premises (Cosmote Academy) in Athens, Greece. The trials were executed using the Cosmote Edge server in the context of Use Case #4 (connectivity during crowded events). The main goal was to monitor the interoperability of drones and 5G under specific events. Many partners from 5GENESIS and 5G!Drones projects participated including NCSR “DEMOKRITOS”, COSMOTE and INFOLYSiS (from Greece), CAFA Tech (from Estonia), and robots.expert (from Finland). More information and videos will follow. Stay tuned!
Feasibility tests were executed by 5G!Drones project at the Athens 5GENESIS platform (Municipal Stadium of Egaleo) for two consecutive days (19-20 Oct 2020). The trials main goal is to test the possibility of offering a better level of network services with drones under 5G and specifically to reduce dropped calls and degraded Internet connectivity during mass events. Many partners from 5GENESIS and 5G!Drones projects participated including NCSR “DEMOKRITOS”, COSMOTE, Municipality of Egaleo and INFOLYSiS (from Greece), Hepta Airborne and CAFA Tech (from Estonia), robots.expert (from Finland).
