LF Anti-trust
We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.
Welcome all. new attendees. If you have any questions about participating in this community, please contact Louis Illuzzi (lilluzzi@linuxfoundation.org).
Infrastructure as a Service, network placement and orchrestration as a Service
Contribution opportunity around observability; Equinix would be interested conversations in insert observability features into the framework
Equinix is using gnodeb built into Free5GC
Potential 5G SBP Use Cases
Slicing latency at the network edge. Find the characteristcs of the slice, example; maximum number of UEs, maximum number of videos sessions that can be supported; latency at the core and RAN
Use Case- RAN deployment at the edge. Create a cell site (leveraging Equinix metro site availability) and place CU/DU workloads at the cell site. for slicing Use Case and cell site deployment (edge placement) Use Case.
Use Case- Automation. Equinix has a script to deploy Free5GC and gnodeb. We can look into how that fits into automation and auto deployment for an automation Use Case.
How are KubeArmor be integrated into the automated deployment (Muddasar).
Use Case- Secure Orchestration- using Enterprise and corporate policies, and well as standards requirements, demostrate the capability to deploy workloads securely, and then create network slices based on an SLA
Use Case- Overlay networks. Demonstarte the mapping of a 5G network slice to where the overlay gateway and controllers are located, and demonstrate how the placement of the UPF or RIC, where the traffic can be broken out to, support the overlay networks.
Muddasar summarized the Use Cases at a high level-
RAN deployment at the edge
Segregated core deployment- core cloud and edge cloud
Secure orchestration

Lab Updates
UNH-IOL
Will have a gNodeB (Amarisoft) available in March time-frame, that can be shared to the 5GSB. System is already setup in RF isolation chamber. Limited 5G eMBB UE are available as well.
LaaS is online / can be booked / connected to the gNodeB.
Kaloom (Montreal)
RU brought into the lab
SD-Core installed- Next- connect Kaloom UPF to SD-Core
Adding Use Cases with IBM- retail and IoT
Open5GS install is pending
Wavelabs (Hyderabad)
EMCO is working with Free5GC
Upcoming Meetings
Deep Dive Meeting (placeholder) Sprint Planning Meeting
Topic proposal: Use Cases for Next sprint. Identify low hanging fruit. What can we accomplish in the next 3 months, 6 months, 9 months
sort Use Cases into LOE buckets; Sprint Backlogs for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Thank you to the team from Aarna for bring this proposal to the 5G SBP
NaaS tie-in
IP Transport as a Service. Front haul/backhaul
RAN as a service
Core as a Service
MEC as a Service
Skills needed:
SD-Core
RAN
Anuket
Kubernetes
Nephio/EMCO
IBM Use Cases (in the hopper)
Potential retail Use Case - MWC has priority
Weather & Agriculture Use Case with GXC
