5G3i focuses on delivering intelligence at the edge of the network through sensor interface combining local data acquisition with enhanced response, detection and classification.

   * Bringing AI to the sensor nodes at the edge of the network
   * Sensor fusion in real-time enabling significant improvement in fault verification
   * Increased sensitivity and dynamic range with sensor array systems
   * Processing multiple sensor inputs locally to achieve improved measurement integrity and fault detection whilst dramatically reducing data transmission requirements
   * Integration of sensing systems within communication infrastructure

5G3i Edge Platform is developed as a technology demonstration and rapid prototype deployment for validation of requirements and key capabilities as outlined below.
