The Trials & Pilots (T&P) Summary Brochure provides a detailed overview of the work completed by the Phase 2 and Phase 3 projects within the 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (5G PPP). It summarises the annual showcase brochures featuring successful, mature use cases produced as a result of competitions organised by the 5G-IA Trials Working Group. To date, four brochures have been published under the title "5G Infrastructure PPP - Trials and Pilots," with releases in September 2019, December 2020, August 2021, and November 2023. Each year, the Working Group's panel members select the ten most exemplary trials and pilots, who use a set of established evaluation criteria to make their choices.
Document Structure
The T&P Summary Brochure is structured as follows:
- Section 1 outlines the major achievements of these projects, including key performance indicators such as the number of use cases addressed per call or year and their geographical distribution throughout the program. This section demonstrates the scope and impact of the initiatives undertaken.
- Section 2 offers more specific details, with tables listing the Trials and Pilots (T&Ps), use cases, sectors addressed, locations, and dates.
This information is synchronised with the 5G PPP Verticals Cartography to ensure accuracy and relevance. This brochure focuses on large-scale trials and pilots that fall under Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) 5 through 7, highlighting these projects' practical application and advanced development stage.
The brochure does not cover the initial stages of technology development, such as proofs-of-concept, prototypes, and demonstrators, tackled instead by Verticals Cartography online tool, providing a complete view of the progression and achievements of the 5G PPP projects from their inception to their advanced trials and implementations (over 250 use cases).
