See how Ericsson contributes to the NANCY project as Demonstrator, translating research outcomes into real-world deployment for secure and scalable Massive IoT. Ericsson’s commercial 5G testbed in Genoa provides a complete mobile network environment—including antennas, radio units, baseband, and core network—supporting 4G, 5G Non-Standalone, and 5G Standalone configurations.
Within this testbed, the NANCY setup integrates a Raspberry Pi acting as a 5G user device emulating multiple IoT endpoints connected to applications hosted on edge servers. Through this demonstration, Ericsson validates low-latency processing, self-healing and self-recovery capabilities, post-quantum cryptography for secure communications, and blockchain-based authentication for device onboarding.
By enabling real-time performance testing in a realistic 5G environment, Ericsson ensures that NANCY results can be seamlessly adopted in commercial networks—supporting secure, resilient, and large-scale IoT services for the future of connectivity.
