CampusOS
The CampusOS initiative is building a modular ecosystem for open and interoperable 5G campus networks, based on disaggregated radio, transport, and core network components. Designed to support vendor independence, stimulate competition, and foster innovation, the project addresses a key pillar of digital sovereignty for enterprises in Germany and beyond.
As an independent, vendor-neutral test lab, EANTC is actively engaged in the planning and execution of interoperability, scaling, performance and multiple other test campaigns for RAN, transport, core network components, terminals and end-to-end systems in CampusOS. We contribute to the definition of test objectives (KPIs), test methods, and the documentation and reporting of results. Our involvement helps to ensure objective, reproducible and transparent verification of the modular architecture and ecosystem.
The CampusOS project aims to build a modular ecosystem for open and interoperable 5G campus networks, leveraging open radio technologies, interoperable network components, and disaggregated architectural concepts. Running from January 2022, the project is funded by the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK). It is coordinated by Fraunhofer FOKUS and Fraunhofer HHI, and brings together 22 partners from industry and research, including major manufacturers, system integrators, SMEs, and research institutions. Among the participants are companies such as Robert Bosch GmbH, Siemens AG, STILL GmbH, and Rohde & Schwarz GmbH, reflecting the project’s broad industry relevance and commitment to creating an open, modular, and competitive ecosystem for private 5G campus networks.
