SCoDIHNet Monthly News

The Smart Connectivity DIH Network has mainly worked on the following topics during this month:

The cooperation with Enterprise Europe Network has been recently reactivated following a meeting we had with the new Chairman. The most urgent action point is to map SCoDIHNet members with EEN members in order to facilitate cooperation at local level. The new EEN Digital group staff is already very involved in DIHs so the cooperation should get a new dimension and the idea is to extend it to the other Thematic sub-networks in order to cover most of the Digital domains.

The cooperation with African DIH is working on co-events where SCoDIHNet members and African DIHs could exchange and cooperate. Several events and open call will take place in the following month, SCoDIHNet members are welcome to participate and to share best practices with African DIHs.

The presentation of the European Innovation Hub Association which has been elaborated with the other Thematic sub-Networks has been made to SCoDIHNet members highlighting the pro and cons of this initiative. It is up to SCoDIHNet members to make the decision to join.

IoT and Edge Computing impact on Beyond 5G: enabling technologies and challenges R3

AIOTI WG Standardisation has published its new report “IoT and Edge Computing Impact on Beyond 5G: Enabling Technologies and Challenges Release 3.0”.

This report highlights several IoT and Edge Computing vertical domain use cases collected by the Alliance for IoT and Edge Computing Innovation (AIOTI) and determines the specific requirements they impose on the underlying (Beyond) 5G network infrastructure. These use cases and requirements can be used by Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs), such as 3GPP, ITU-T, ISO, and IEEE as requirements for automation in vertical domains focusing on critical communications.

In addition to these use cases, emerging topics in the area of (Beyond) 5G technology are also introduced.

The Release 2.0 version of this report included 6 additional use cases in the areas of (1) use of drones, (2) 5G cloud-RAN, (3) Health-Critical Remote Operations, and (4) preliminary 6G use cases.

The Release 3.0 version of this report includes 6 additional use cases in the area of Edge-Cloud Orchestration.

The full report can be found here.

AIOTI Webinar: Presenting IoT and Edge Computing Carbon Footprint Measurement Methodology Report

11 December, 16:00 – 17:30

AIOTI Digital for Climate Task Force updated the IoT and Edge Computing Carbon Footprint Measurement Methodology Report.

This Report addresses the users of IoT and Edge Computing technologies and services to help them understand and make informed choices on how to assess the carbon footprint of solutions and services they use and to also measure how these methodologies support carbon footprint reduction of their use.

The Report is structured to present the rules and regulations of the European Green Deal, the initiatives and standards, and existing methodologies of measuring ICT carbon footprint. The report also includes how those methodologies can be applied to IoT and Edge Computing, the description of the methodologies, selection criteria and how to measure the benefits of using them in reducing carbon footprint by using IoT and Edge Computing technologies and services for several industrial domains.

This version of the report (Release 2) updates the equations that were introduced in version (Release 1.1) of the Report, which address the calculation of avoided carbon emissions in industrial sectors when ICT is applied by focusing on:

• a baseline (industrial) scenario that is supported by an ICT solution and a green-enabled (industrial) scenario that applies an advanced ICT solution to reduce carbon emissions in the same industrial scenario,
• the impact that a closed-loop recycling/allocation process has on these equations.

The Report ends with conclusions and recommendations for practical use.

The report can be found here.
