 So it's a quarter to two hopefully you enjoyed your meal your lunch My project report for today and that the talk for today is about our private 5G campus network Titled powered by Starling X and OpenStack it is an more than Preview what we are planning to do less than we already did and It's more an overview over you over the project than a technical deep dive. My name is Robert Holling I'm a research associate from the University of Osnabrück of applied science Welcome. I have a little agenda for today Who and where we are located? What is our journey? Where do we come from? in the meaning of OpenStack and the Starling X environment a Couple of words about our 5G campus network project because that's the reason why I'm standing here and Then at the end the link between all these stuffs What has open stack styling is with the campus network to do with each other so first of all who and where we are we are University of applied sciences the largest one in lower Saxony, Germany. This is Germany and We have two sites Overall roughly 13,000 students and more than 1,300 people stuff And I'm located in Lingen. It's a little bit outside from Osnabrück. So everything I'm talking about today is For Lingen not for Osnabrück That's for our own faculty Anyway That one two thousand two hundred students roughly There's a bird view of our campus We are located in this big hall former railway repair station over hundred and don't know 50 years old With a small DC we can use with hundred and fifty eight units and opposite of that a new building actually fixed Ready fixed with the DC with 400 units and outside a mobile DC. I will keep later on Another hundred and fifty eight units roughly So our journey, where do we come from? We called our infrastructure. We built up in the last year's open campus infrastructure And everything began with an initial use case we had this is a prototype we built up my colleague in me several years ago There are some PLC's here below any kind of Program is running there. We are interested about the processes here above on the machine so there are some pieces handled on this machine four stations are there and The software which is collecting all these data of this machine is the so-called IOT bridge and We built up this project within the learning stuff with several companies and other universities over Europe and First of all we installed it on-prem and then we recognized the potential of this software and said okay, we had to get a cloud stack and As a university we are not let's say allowed to use public cloud in a Big environment, so we decided to install open stack So we are running this and a couple of other softwares in our own Open stack environment since a couple of years So the software has a connection to an SIP system running in a MacBook 300 kilometers away And all the learning stuff is done in Moodle so the students can do all their use cases and experiences by themselves most of them and That was our initial use case, so this is the reason why we're doing open stack at all Where do we come from as I said? Yeah, a lot of on-prem any kind of vitriolization of hyper V VM where is XE and whatever KVM we had I Put this mad of middle map of Middle Earth a lot of the rings so that is a dark mid-age We won't get back. Yeah, you know all that stuff So 2016 we decided install open stack by ourself That was release Newton we did and yes If it's had been four nodes or three or five we are discussing all the day We don't remember anymore anymore, but it was a really small Installation two years later. We moved on to rocky Already 50 notes again two years late later. We moved to a Suri roughly hundred hundred notes when I'm talking this way About notes that is a meaning of any kind of Compute storage networking switch router in a hardware meaning not in the software meaning a hundred devices Two years later. We didn't move again because of the 5g campus network project because At that time what it was clear we have to change our architecture at all so our plan is from the beginning of this year to Extend our architecture I will show later on so we have here our Below our open stack environment We will set up a Second cloud stack with star Starling X for the edge computing use cases I will show and A third one we are running actually the sovereign cloud stack European initiative We are setting up when I'm coming back from there from Vancouver at home Why we're doing that In the most cases we have no technical need We have no economic need. We do why we can why we want to do that There's no economic compulsion for that in any way so It's usually about proof of work a proof of concept to show what is possible What is not possible where the pain points and so on? It's about the education of the students for sure. That's our major work to educate students and Another part is to transfer the knowledge we want into the Economy that could be the local economy that could be regional economy international whatever that means so a Lot of this or most of the things what you now see is there's no economic Reason for technical reason The 5g compass net project so first of all what is a private 5g 5g next mobile? communication standard a compass net in Germany meaning we have so-called federal network agency bnz are and there's a small bandwidth reserve for private networks between 3.7 3.8 and 26 and others but For us interested interesting is 3.7 to 3.8 and you can use it is for private purposes if you want and it doesn't matter of universities or companies or Foundations doesn't matter at all We got you have to apply for it. We got frequency assignment for 10 years until 2032 and As I know as I read Or Germany we have 300 assignments for 3.7 to 3.8 gigahertz Private and our meaning is we have no slice to public network. We do all private completely cloud 5g everything is private. We have no slices These are the operator models in germany or in Europe. I don't know And we are doing that when here self-managed In a very narrow range, I know campus network, so That's it what we do specs Sounds too much. It is more the description of our campus net at the Hochschule Osnabrück What we want is the tenders are still running. So I'm Have to be careful what I'm saying now, but What we want is to implement an enterprise 5g standalone core self-managed Defined range The hardware and the software must be able to Handle 20,000 subscribers 500 license in the first step what we want is a 10 milliseconds latency between the user and device and The communication point n6 behind UPF and We are not talking about ultra low latency at this moment That is a default What we want is indoor positioning with three indoor radios and the accuracy must be below one meter Without any additional hardware software and something like that that's a One gigabit across all radios we have mostly or we plan mostly indoor radios. We are not Sending all over the campus where Providing specified rooms and labs and so on 10 gigs over CPI and 100 gigabit uplink to backbone within the data center and We want up to six cells. That's enough for our small combos, that's a raw description of it As I said the tenders are out or going out next week. I don't know exactly Very important. We this is a research and development network. We have no operation Behind now. We are not flying to the moon. We are not SpaceX or whoever We are research and development This is a simple graph of our Network we have here on the right our open stack cloud The running project sovereign cloud sick We called it our mobile edge cloud With the attached 5g 5g standalone core There of here for the basement unit with the outdoor antennas in the we will have two only two outdoor antennas with an Power of one watt Only and here the antenna bundle point up to 16 indoor antennas that's the configuration of our Plan network and we have here one gigabit 10 gigabit and here above 400 100 above and then 400 or multiple 400 gigabits Between the data centers and the clouds The 5g campus net project you see the logos below here. It is a mainly and public funded project By the end bank as a by the state of lower Saxony over we are living and working There's a bun a funding guideline called campus net Ministry of Economy is behind there and Spend the money over the end bank The volume is about 2.3 million euros. It's only invest no personal no staff no energy. It's really only invest and there are some projects behind pending So it's the first step The duration of the project is five years. We started last year And we have two years for the implementation and realization of the infrastructure and Then three years again for testing of defined industrial use cases and For the realization of the infrastructure. We are two people more than less with a little help from outside, but That is the stuff We have three areas of use cases This is one of them out almost robotics called Two sub areas one is built up here with drones for logistic purposes for agriculture culture purposes and The second sub area is about AGV's Vehicles on the floor transporting goods from A to B Within the plant We have a second area Called smart factory So in the new lab building we have on the first floor as a so-called shop floor This machine and it's several other machines are standing there and we will Put there on 5g enabled sensors and Actors and Operate all that stuff Over our 5g infrastructure That the plan the third one is about AR VR X RM are whatever Colleagues from the logistics There was a had been a predecessor project Three four years ago, and they defined 35 use cases for the logistics and Handful use cases are Still unsolved because at that time they said it is impossible to realize that use cases with LTE Because of the high and volatile latency I can't Judge over that I don't know that I'm not an expert on this use cases, but that is a third area of that so That are the use cases we are planning to do with the 5g networks We have a couple of secondary project goals. It's in direction green IT. Let's say So we will get a mobile data center for this 5g Canvas network project. It's an 20 foot container something like that completely autonomous from the rest of our infrastructure and We will get an Certification is German specific blower angle. It's for sustainability So we have to record and to measure all our consumption and cooling stuff and so on So the link between overall the open stack the Starling eggs and 5g at the moment So as you know, you all know this picture Service picture. It's a little bit older. I know It is our existing private cloud. They're running. I don't know Something like hundred hundred fifty Clients and servers for our students at our faculty or our institute. It's not some so big and That's that what we have What we are actual actual doing When I'm back in Germany is sovereign cloud stack and it's an European initiative as you can see here the yellow bubbles are the open stack services and And above you we have the container layer So what we will do is to implement the vanilla style the reference implementation Yeah, and We need first of all this one and we are doing some researchers about the container layer To separate them within the use cases the upcoming upcoming project you all know all this year this architecture is Starling X we will Run also here the container layer and also the container containerized open stack and We will cut off this part on the shop floor and the rest will run in the data center So obviously there is no technical need to do this we do that to Educate our students. Yeah, remember that always Okay, the fourth one is an end-to-end architecture of 5g This is from via these solutions as I know and Then we put that all together the near future is that what we want at a high level is We have still running our open stack cloud in one data center. You remember the first Picture the bird view of our campus. We have one data center that's running open stack Mostly and We will put the sovereign cloud stack within open stack and the container layer and the mobile data center We will also put the 5g core into the mobile data center and we will put a Little bit of this on the shop floor and the rest also the mobile data center or in the data center below We just not decided it yet and Put that stuff all together. We want to make it as one network for the students and The research projects so always two hats on that is what we want to do in the near future and And Yeah Showing that use case for the shop floor. So This is one use case for the students for the teaching Put this picture again here. So Anyway, the mid-future is Something like as you know, we have a shop floor. We have a mobile data center splitting that For to run that sovereign cloud stack as I told the 5g core Is running for five years first and then Add on something like the project magma to get an open 5g core We are looking in direction of open run something like that. So It's always moving. It's a lessons learned that that we are always moving And changing the the architecture once a year or every two years so Probably the part below here open stack moves completely Into the sovereign cloud stack, but it's not yet decided. So The major thing is Put them stuff all together for the students Yeah, what are the next steps? What is the status of this project? We have as I said the public tenders are on the way both thick tenders for the 5g core and the run and the second is a Mobile data center For the third quarter deployment of the sovereign cloud stack within open stack in the container layer and of the installation of the 5g core and run that will be done by external stuff and Then we will deploy the style styling X for the shop floor use cases First quarter installation of the mobile DC a lot of external stuff will do that and help us and Then from the third quarter of next year will do the reach research industrial use cases The teaching is all the way done. So this is the perspective of the research project Okay I'm working at the university always sources for the what I said, yeah, and the logos where I found and Yeah, thanks for your attention. These are my Contact data. I'm hanging around all these three days. Just ask the guys from the open info hopefully they know me and You can find me also tomorrow Yeah, 4 p.m at the marketplace mixer and Thursday as I know 1040 on the styling X workshop So thanks for your attention Are there any questions? Yes. Yeah Yeah it is an it is named in the in the in the tender for the 5g network and It is a must we want here But we we have information That this should be possible Yeah With with any additional hardware with any additional Sensors or something like that. Yeah. Yes No Yeah, yeah For the first step, yes, we we are trying what's really hard. We are trying to to implement this in the teaching stuff but Yeah, it's hard to Tell other people what they have to do. So if you know what I mean, yeah, so yeah, that would be the best way also to Give the students the possibility to provide something like that. Yeah Probably we could deal this with an under an overcloud or something like that. So Any other questions it's not like so, okay Then I'm finished. Thank you for your attention again and have a nice rest of the day Thanks
