BASE5G aims to create advanced services for the citizen which usage is increasingly automatic and "easy". This macro-objective applies to four innovation ecosystems of Regione Lombardia’s Territorial Strategic Program. The project actions aim at the creation of intelligent environments to provide advanced but easily usable services to citizens, businesses and public administrations. This objective requires the definition of a digital infrastructure that includes technologies in various fields. In this regard, 5G technology represents a fundamental but not sufficient piece. In this context, the project will create use cases in which 5G technology will be integrated with Internet of Things platforms and advanced data processing algorithms.

The project has three macro-objectives: the design of services based on intelligent environments, the vertical integration of 5G technology with IoT platforms to support advanced services, the development of simple interfaces for the end user. These objectives are divided into five vertical application areas and one technological area.

Smart City/Smart Campus Area: creation of systems to profile citizens/students and provide customized information on the surrounding environment.

Smart Vehicles and Mobility Area: development of a personalized and interactive human-vehicle interface for the automatic adjustment of the vehicle, the contents made available to the driver and passengers, for an increased perception of the environment outside the vehicle through connectivity between vehicles, infrastructure and road users for sharing data from sensors.

Smart Learning Area: development of systems for the use of contents and training in different application contexts (higher university education, learning in critical scenarios, training/dissemination of contents in an urban/urbanistic setting).

Smart Logistics Area: development of systems for the efficient management of indoor and outdoor logistics in the industrial sector, based on a fleet of autonomous two-wheels drones connected to each other, with the surrounding environment and with a control room via 5G infrastructure.

Sport and Leisure Events Area: development of wearable devices and management platforms for monitoring both competitive and non-competitive sporting events and activities of urban smart communities (foot races, group training in gyms and/or on the road, users of bike sharing services).

Technology Area (5G Connectivity): testing of architectural solutions, Mobile Edge Computing and network slicing solutions for end-to-end 5G relying on pre-commercial network technology.
