| CGNAT | Carrier Grade NAT Network Function | A10 Networks | Yes | NorAm | Container based Advance Carrier Grade NAT Networks Function |
| Multi cluster orchestration for Kubernetes | Kubermatic | Loodse | In the demo, we want to show how to install and operate a multi-site and multi-cluster Kubernetes platform from a central location. Each worker cluster manages local resources on a specific site while still being managed from a centralized single pane of glass. The idea is to show a blueprint for how providers could manage 100x or even 1000x Kubernetes clusters in a centralized fashion and have the ability to build their own Kubernetes-as-a-service platform offering. | ||
| Base Compute OS | RHEL | Red Hat | Yes | Europe and NorAM | RHEL with RT |
| Kubernetes | OpenShift | Red Hat | Yes | Europe and NorAM | Red Hat Open Shift for Container Management and Orchestration. |
| NG-Core | Ultra-M | Cisco | ?? | NorAM | Needs Confirmation |
NG-Core/EPC | Affirmed | ?? | Europe and NorAM | Needs confirmation | |

| Service Assurance | SA Framework | Red Hat | Yes | NorAM and Europe | Planned |
| Demo User Equipment, per location | 5G Phone/UE(s): - n78 b38 for OAI site -mmwave (band TBD) FWA site(s) | Europe (OAI 5G) NorAm (mmwave) Demo site (mmwave) | Prefer to use commercial vendor UEs, whenever possible to demo interoperability, like in VCO 2.0 demo - any phone should be Android based, e.g. potentially Galaxy S10 5G for (need to check the bands compatibility/availability). | ||
| Radio Equipment HW (Basestation / Network side) | 4G/5G Radio units | EURECOM | Europe | 1 16-antenna 4G/5G cell site (80 MHz in band n78, 20 MHz in band 38) ~ 500m coverage in one sector Indoor RRU network in band 38 (20 MHz) LTE/LTE-M/NB-IoT cells in bands 14 and 68 (10-15 km coverage in one sector) | |
