The targeted FPNG project is dedicated to setting up nationwide test facilities and infrastructures to assess new hardware components for 5G and evaluate paradigms for the next generation of telecommunications networks. These research infrastructures will target both basic technological components and, end-to-end network testing. This programme of platforms aims to work with all the important technologies in this area – from elementary electronic components to large-scale networking experiments – to provide responses to all the specific challenges defined by the Networks of the Future PEPR project. FPNG’s aim is firstly to structure this set of infrastructures and provide open access to existing infrastructures for the national group of PEPR researchers. Its second aim is to invest in new strategic and advanced infrastructures where required to respond to the many challenges of the future.
