Description: THE INITIATIVE PROMOTES 5G INNOVATION, AIMING FOR WIDESPREAD ADOPTION AND EMPOWERING RESEARCHERS AND STUDENTS AT NTUA. IT FOCUSES ON OPTIMIZING DATA TRANSMISSION, ACHIEVING HIGH SPEEDS, REDUCING LATENCY, AND SUPPORTING A DENSE NETWORK OF CONNECTED DEVICES. USING 5G AND EDGE COMPUTING, IT ESTABLISHES A CONNECTED ACADEMY CAMPUS AND A MOBILE PRIVATE NETWORK (MPN) TO ENHANCE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. KEY USE CASES INCLUDE A 5G-BASED XR COLLABORATION PLATFORM FOR IMMERSIVE E-LEARNING AND A 5G EXPERIMENTATION PLATFORM TAILORED TO THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR WITH DIGITAL TWINS (DT) TECHNOLOGY. THESE CASES LEVERAGE 5G FEATURES LIKE LOW LATENCY, NETWORK PROGRAMMABILITY, AND SLICING FOR CCAM SCENARIOS. THE PROJECT, IMPLEMENTED AT NTUA’S ZOGRAFOU CAMPUS, ADDRESSES GREECE’S DIGITAL CHALLENGES BY MODERNIZING EDUCATION, ENHANCING DIGITAL LITERACY, AND BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE. IT INTEGRATES 5G AND AR TECHNOLOGIES TO IMPROVE TEACHING, FOSTER INNOVATION, AND DRIVE COMPETITIVENESS. ALIGNING WITH NATIONAL AND EU GOALS, IT SERVES AS A MODEL FOR EDUCATIONAL TRANSFORMATION AND SOCIETAL INCLUSIVITY.
