ENVELOPE - Evaluation and Validation of Connected Mobility in Real Open Systems Beyond 5GS
On October 21st and 22nd 2025, the project ENVELOPE, entitled Evaluation and Validation of Connected Mobility in Real Open Systems Beyond 5GS’, held its 5th physical plenary meeting in Athens, Greece, hosted by COSMOTE. This 36-month EU-funded Innovation Action, funded under the HORIZON Europe SNS programme, officially started on January 1st, 2024.
The meeting was chaired and hosted by Mrs. Fotini Setaki, representing Cosmote. The meeting was attended by the project’s 23 partners and featured partners’ presentations on the project’s progress, technical developments and future plans. Partners also discussed the project’s work plan, challenges, and implementation schedules.
5G Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) services include a wide range of digital solutions enabled by 5G networks. Yet, certain vertical sectors still have unique requirements that are not fully met. Although considerable progress has been achieved, configuring both the network and the end devices to meet the needs of each vertical remains a complex, time-consuming process that requires close coordination at both technical and business levels.
The ENVELOPE project aims to advance the 5G-Advanced architecture by shifting it toward a vertical-oriented approach, introducing dedicated interfaces tailored for CAM use cases. These interfaces are designed to (i) make network capabilities accessible to verticals, (ii) feed vertical-specific data back into the network, and (iii) allow verticals to dynamically request or adjust certain network parameters in an open, transparent, intuitive, and semi-automated way.
eBOS is leading the efforts of:
- Structuring and organising the Open Calls (OC): eBOS is managing the entire OC process, by raising awareness, preparing the documentation and contracting package and overseeing the help desk support set-up.
- Assessing Impact and Public Acceptance of the ENVELOPE platform by leading efforts to assess public acceptance of the platform
- Developing an Exploitation Strategy by developing methodologies, metrics, and templates for effective exploitation plans, including business metrics, legal rights, IP rights, and individual plans.
Furthermore, eBOS leverages its wide experience in:
- Reference Architecture and AI Solutions to support the development of the reference architecture and AI-based solutions for managing the 5G-Advanced architecture, considering CAM services’ requirements and providing interfaces for vertical industry players.
- Market Analysis, supporting market analysis activities related to ENVELOPE innovations.
- Dissemination and Communication by contributing to dissemination and communication plans, presenting results to key associations to maximise impact and outreach.
