Media and Event production via Resilient Communication on IoT Infrastructure

Media and Event production via Resilient Communication on IoT Infrastructure (MERCI) is a government-funded Franco-German joint research project. By involving companies from the Industrial IoT (IIoT) and PMSE sectors, the project forms a collaborative R&D ecosystem for private 5G networks based on or complemented by DECT NR+. MERCI follows the shared vision of creating fully immersive audio-visual experiences through NR+ cooperative networks that advantageously integrate nomadic PMSE devices into on-premises IoT infrastructure. Aiming at a practical, application-oriented evaluation and demonstration of NR+, the project helps evolve the technology to meet industry demand for “made in Europe” private network infrastructure, data sovereignty and economic independence.
