The objective of the SliceNet project in which the UPC participates is to maximise the potential of 5G infrastructures and their services through advanced network management software that guarantees the requirements needed in vertical business models. Examples are the distribution of energy in smartgrids with greater automation, a connected ambulance that manages communication with emergency medical teams and wearables, or the smart management of street lighting.
SliceNet is a project that forms part of the European Commission’s 5GPPP. The aim of this programme is to maintain European leadership in areas such as the smart city, e-health, and smart transport.

This project is funded by the European Union, in the framework of which a new end-to-end integrated packet-optical transport architecture based on multiband optical transmission and switching networks is being designed and prototyped.
- Autonomous vehicles are a reality that we are getting closer to gradually but inevitably. The Centre for Sensors, Instruments and Systems Development (CD6) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has developed technologies for this type of vehicles that improve safety on journeys. To meet the needs of perceiving the environment at long range, a very complete set of sensors has to be developed, including cameras, LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and radar.
