SPIN

In a beyond 5G network, SPIN offers seamless UE travel from public network to private network (and vice versa) and dynamic service orchestration by migrating service provider from cloud (when the UE is in the public network) to the Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) environment, when the UE enters private network.

To this end, two services will be developed through SPIN project:

• Multi-profile SIM technology, (an alternative technology for roaming mechanism) that allows a single physical SIM card to store multiple independent network profiles. This enables a device to seamlessly switch between different network identities—such as a public, private profile— without needing to swap SIMs.
• Cloud/edge/far-edge dynamic service orchestration to guarantees service continuum while the UE is moving from one network to another, including the situations with no proper connectivity. This is very essential in urban use cases like automotive, etc, where the UE (e.g. vehicle in this case), which consumes a service, moves from public network to private network. This orchestrator also detects network loss and considers running the service in the far-edge (i.e. vehicle in this example) to keep serving required services.
