OUT OF SCOPE
Digital issues, in particular:
(1) mobile digital identity solutions (decentralised hardware-based architecture):
Dangers of fragmentation, between countries and brands. Outline of the Optimos project
with German authorities, an embedded hardware-based open standard with eIDAS
assurance levels; a deliberately decentralised architecture.
(2) communications equipment (ORAN/VRAN, diversification, standardisation process,
operator needs:
Barriers to entry can arise from European operator requirements to maintain 2G, 3G for
single RAN platform; 5G standardisation does not yet allow 5G overlay on existing
subsidies or a 5G overlay mandate.
Question whether the microprocessors IPCEI would extend to chipsets for 5G.
