URBAN-5G
Ultra-Reliable TSN-EnaBled Advanced Networks for 5G Smart Cities
Making smart city networks predictable: TSN-enabled 5G for synchronised, multi-service urban operations
URBAN-5G is a smart city connectivity project that makes critical public services more reliable when they share the same network. Today, many city systems—such as traffic cameras, public safety monitoring, and emergency response video—run over networks that cannot guarantee consistent performance. When the network becomes busy, delays, dropped data, and uneven quality can affect services that need to work predictably.
6G-PATH-OC2-Univac-Systems
The project will demonstrate a better approach: one city network that can keep different services running at the right level of importance. In practical terms, URBAN-5G will show how emergency response video can be given priority when it matters most, while day-to-day traffic monitoring and routine public surveillance continue to run smoothly in parallel. This avoids the need for separate, duplicated networks for each service and helps cities use infrastructure more efficiently.
6G-PATH-OC2-Univac-Systems
URBAN-5G will be validated using the 6G-PATH IT/ALB testbed, which provides a realistic smart city environment with connected devices and city-scale facilities. The project will run trials with multiple live video and sensor streams at the same time, assessing whether critical services remain stable under heavy network load.

The outcome will be a proven blueprint for more dependable smart city communications—supporting faster emergency response, improved traffic management, and safer public services—while laying the groundwork for future city upgrades.
