ENVELOPE Presented at 5G-ROUTES Workshop on 5G-CAM in Terrestrial and Maritime Environments

On the occasion of the 5G-ROUTES Workshop on 5G-CAM in Terrestrial and Maritime Environments, Konstantinos Katsaros, Project Coordinator of ENVELOPE and Head of the Intelligent Networks & Services Division at ICCS, gave a detailed presentation on the project’s vision, architecture, and planned activities.

Katsaros introduced ENVELOPE as a Horizon SNS JU project focused on advancing and opening up the 5G-Advanced reference architecture to better serve verticals—specifically Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM). The project aims to create a flexible, semi-automated system where verticals can interact with the network in a transparent and dynamic way, adapting performance and services based on real-time needs.

His presentation covered the project’s three Living Labs—located in Italy, the Netherlands, and Greece—which will host trials of use cases ranging from advanced in-service reporting and collaborative mapping for automated vehicles, to real-time situation awareness and digital twin applications for tele-operated driving. These trials will explore innovative features such as multi-connectivity, predictive QoS, MEC federation and handover, and inter-PLMN mobility.

The presentation highlighted how ENVELOPE is positioned to support a wide range of CAM services and help shape the future of intelligent transport networks in Europe and beyond.
