I am very proud to present the second
edi on of the brochure on “SME
Exper se and Skills in the 5G Domain”.
Like the previous version, it aims at
showing the exper se and skills from
selected European Small and Medium-
sized Enterprises (SMEs) in 5G and
related domains. This me, we are
focusing more on the exper se that
could be useful in various industry
ver cal sectors. Indeed, this is one of
the major diff erences between 5G and
the previous genera ons of mobile and
wireless systems: 5G will be so pervasive
that it will be used in a much broader
landscape, addressing requirements
from such sectors as automo ve
and transport, media and content,
manufacturing and logis cs, energy,
health, and many others.
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
(SMEs) have an important role to play
in developing, pilo ng and deploying
5G technologies, both to help with
disrup ve technologies and to address
the needs of various ver cal sectors.
European SMEs have a great added
value in providing innova ve concepts
and solu ons that are having an
important impact on the 5G value chain.
They have the agility and fl exibility
required in a fast evolving technical and
market landscape. This has been well
understood within the 5G Public-Private
Partnership (5G PPP), where SMEs have
a 20% share. Since 2017, the Board
of the 5G Infrastructure Associa on
includes two SME representa ves (out
of 12 members).
This brochure aims at con nuing to
achieve SME par cipa on in new
projects looking further in terms of
coopera on with ver cal industry
stakeholders, including but not limited
to Phase 3 of the 5G PPP, looking at
developing 5G pla orms and large-
scale trials in various ver cal industrial
sectors. I am fully convinced that SMEs
have a great added value in providing
innova ve 5G related concepts and
solu ons that could be used in various
industry sectors. SMEs have the agility
and fl exibility that are required in a
fast evolving technical and market
landscape and are already working in
many of those sectors. They are willing
to work with larger industrial companies
and research organisa ons to develop
leading 5G solu ons for the global
market.
I would like to thank all my colleagues
in the SME Working Group for their
contribu on and their hard work, and I
am looking forward to seeing more and
more European SMEs cooperate with
European and non-European partners
in the near future, for the development
and deployment of 5G in various ver cal
industry sectors.
Please note that this brochure is
complemented with a web page
providing details on SME exper se in
rela on with 5G PPP Phase 3, en tled
“Find the SME you need!”, that is
available at www.networld2020.eu/
fi nd-the-sme-you-need/.
NetWorld2020 is the European Technology
Pla orm for telecommunica ons and related
services and applica ons. The SME Working
Group is the networking place for SMEs. It
helps promote SME ac vi es and exper se
(including but not limited to 5G) towards
other stakeholders, in par cular large
companies. For more informa on on the

Expertise in 5G
Future Intelligence (FINT) is a Greek Telecom
Engineering company with a mission to deliver
innova ve solu ons for Next Genera on Wireless
Systems. Having deployed a WiMAX bubble to
integrate heterogeneous UxVs’ payloads (2013), and
built a general purpose Cyber-Physical twin pla orm
for IoT (2014) it now focuses on “so warising”
hardware and enabling on-demand, low-cost
service off ering (NFV, SDN) for 4/5G networks (since
2015). On the contrary, the company enhances
edge-network “hardwariza on” on top of its
programmable net-FPGA Portable Cloud Pla orm
that accelerates fronthaul network performance and
distributes network processing (since 2017). Last,
FINT’s emerging IoT gateway would adjust mul ple
radio access interfaces (6LoWPAN, BLE, LoRa) to
core 5G infrastructure.
Expertise in vertical sectors
FINT has commercial deployments in Smart Ci es
and Smart Agriculture that will transform into cross-
domain business cases. For the former, a network
infrastructure based on outdoor LEDs is launched
which is also capable to support Smart Cameras
for Security and Parking purposes. For the Smart
Farming case, smart sensor nodes feed a powerful
gateway at the network edge with on-fi eld sensors
which can also host anomalies’ detec on from UAVs’
Area Surveillance mission notably used for Forest
Monitoring. In addi on, NFV and SDN services may
be off ered to Telecom Operators to op mise their
OPEX and improve the quality of services.
Expertise in R&D and Innovation
FINT has rich experience in FP7, MED (INTERREG),
SEE, Greek and UK na onal funds and of course
H2020. The company has built a compe ve, in-
house RnD department which also delivers RnD
services for and on account of the private sector.
Potential interest in R&D and Innovation
Cooperation
FINT would very much welcome collabora on on
the convergence of front and backhaul network
leveraging the edge IoT gateway capabili es. In
addi on, case-studies and pilots in certain ver cals
would be of high interest especially in the inclusive
smart ci es domain (transporta on, energy, water)
where ci zens, businesses and authori es interact.
Our unique selling point
The company was established as an RnD intensive
SME but soon succeeded in exploi ng such funds
to build commercial products and services that are
now enabling it to scale. As a result, FINT couples
strong technical engineering competencies with
the required so skills to quickly iden fy the route
to market and reach appropriate stakeholders
following a win-win partnership approach.
