INFOCOM SRL

Their core work

INFOCOM is a Milan-based technology SME specializing in network programmability, virtualization security, and 5G infrastructure for industrial environments. They develop software solutions that sit at the intersection of advanced networking and cybersecurity — helping virtualized and 5G-based services remain secure and performant. Their work spans from cloud service platforms to cyber range environments and 5G experimentation platforms serving manufacturing and industrial sectors.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

INFOCOM began with general network programmability and cloud service work (INPUT, 2015-2017), then pivoted sharply toward cybersecurity for virtualized environments (ASTRID and SPIDER, 2018-2022). Their most recent work combines both threads — applying 5G networking expertise to industrial settings while maintaining a security focus. The trajectory shows a clear movement from research-stage networking toward applied, industry-facing 5G security and experimentation infrastructure.

INFOCOM is moving toward applied 5G solutions for manufacturing and industrial sectors, making them a relevant partner for any consortium targeting secure industrial digitalization.

How they like to work

INFOCOM operates exclusively as a participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project. With 49 unique partners across 14 countries in just 4 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia typical of ICT and security calls. This suggests they are a reliable technical contributor who integrates well into large teams without needing to drive the administrative side.

Despite only 4 projects, INFOCOM has built a broad network of 49 partners across 14 countries, indicating participation in sizable EU consortia with strong pan-European reach.

What sets them apart

INFOCOM sits at a relatively uncommon intersection: they combine deep networking/programmability expertise with cybersecurity for virtualized and 5G environments. While many SMEs specialize in either networking or security, INFOCOM bridges both — particularly for industrial 5G use cases. For consortium builders targeting Factories of the Future or secure 5G deployments, they offer a compact, experienced Italian partner with proven delivery across both domains.

Highlights from their portfolio

• 5G-INDUCE
  Their most recent and strategically significant project, directly targeting 5G experimentation platforms for industrial manufacturing — aligning with the Factories of the Future agenda.
• SPIDER
  Combines their cybersecurity and 5G expertise into a cyber range platform, demonstrating their ability to build security testing infrastructure for next-generation networks.
• INPUT
  Their earliest and highest-funded project (€283K), establishing their foundational expertise in network programmability.
