In this video, our partners at Virtual Open Systems (VOS) present their role and contributions to the NANCY project. As a leading software company with extensive expertise in high-performance virtualization, VOS brings cutting-edge solutions to the NANCY ecosystem.

Discover how VOS is advancing secure and efficient resource management at the network edge with novel virtualization technologies tailored for ARMv8 platforms. Learn more about the VOSySmonitor and vManager components, the AI Virtualiser, and their secure storage solution for V2X communications.

In addition to technical contributions, VOS leads NANCY’s Standardization & Clustering Activities, helping align project outcomes with industry standards to support future adoption. Their work is being validated in NANCY’s Italian and Spanish testbeds, paving the way for more intelligent, secure, and efficient Beyond-5G networks.

In this video, the University of Western Macedonia (UOWM) presents its role as the coordinator of the NANCY project and highlights its key technical contributions. UOWM, a dynamic academic institution with campuses across five cities in Greece, plays a leading role in shaping the future of secure, intelligent, and energy-efficient wireless networks.

As part of NANCY, UOWM hosts one of the project’s testbeds, focused on a coverage expansion scenario that introduces the concept of micro-operators—entities that can deploy private networks and act as neutral hosts for large operators. This approach improves network coverage and reduces energy consumption for user devices.

The testbed integrates public and private 5G standalone networks, leveraging Open5GS, srsRAN, and AI-powered anomaly detection enhanced with explainable AI tools to provide additional security layers. The video also showcases a demo simulating cyberattacks and the use of NANCY’s Explainable AI Toolkit to increase transparency in AI-driven threat detection.
