Central to 5GENESIS, 5G!Drones, EVOLVED-5G, and SMART5GRID — all focused on 5G testbed validation and vertical trials.
INFOLYSIS P.C.
Greek SME specializing in 5G system integration, edge computing, and vertical application development for drones, energy grids, and IoT.
Their core work
INFOLYSIS is a Greek SME specializing in 5G network experimentation, integration, and vertical application development. They build and validate 5G-based solutions for specific industry sectors — including drone traffic management, smart energy grids, IoT architectures, and Industry 4.0 platforms. Their core contribution across projects involves system integration, edge computing, network application (NetApp) development, and experimentation platform design that bridges telecom infrastructure with real-world industrial use cases.
What they specialise in
5G!Drones focused on UAV vertical applications and UAS traffic management; 5GENESIS included drone-related experimentation.
ASSIST-IoT addressed next-generation IoT with edge analytics and MEC; SMART5GRID applied MEC to energy grids.
EVOLVED-5G and SMART5GRID both involved NetApp experimentation, SDK development, and multi-domain orchestration.
SECANT project addressed security and privacy protection for IoT devices using distributed ledger and trust frameworks.
How they've shifted over time
INFOLYSIS began (2018-2019) focused on foundational 5G infrastructure — end-to-end network experimentation, testbed integration, and early vertical trials including UAV/drone applications over 5G. By 2020-2021, their work shifted decisively toward applying 5G to specific industrial verticals: energy grids, Industry 4.0, and IoT security. The later projects emphasize NetApp development, DevOps tooling, open service repositories, and marketplace concepts — signaling a move from infrastructure testing toward productized 5G applications.
INFOLYSIS is transitioning from 5G infrastructure validation toward building reusable 5G application platforms for energy, manufacturing, and IoT sectors — making them a strong partner for projects that need to deliver industry-ready 5G solutions, not just testbeds.
How they like to work
INFOLYSIS operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project. Despite this, they are far from passive: with 123 unique partners across 26 countries in just 6 projects, they are embedded in very large consortia (averaging ~20 partners per project). This suggests they serve as a reliable technical contributor that large 5G consortia actively seek out, rather than a project leader or niche sub-contractor.
Remarkably broad network for an SME: 123 unique consortium partners across 26 countries from just 6 projects. Their reach is pan-European with no obvious geographic concentration, reflecting the large-scale nature of 5G research consortia.
What sets them apart
INFOLYSIS occupies a specific niche as a Greek SME that bridges 5G telecom infrastructure and real-world vertical applications. While many 5G players are either telecom operators or academic labs, INFOLYSIS focuses on the integration layer — making 5G work for drones, energy grids, and industrial IoT. Their consistent participation across the full arc of EU 5G programs (from 5GENESIS through EVOLVED-5G and SMART5GRID) gives them rare end-to-end experience with 5G vertical deployment that few SMEs can match.
Highlights from their portfolio
- 5GENESISTheir largest-funded project (EUR 459K) and earliest — established INFOLYSIS in the EU 5G experimentation ecosystem.
- 5G!DronesCombined two high-demand domains (5G and UAV traffic management), positioning INFOLYSIS at the intersection of telecom and autonomous systems.
- SMART5GRIDDemonstrates their pivot to energy-sector 5G applications, connecting smart grids with network softwarisation and DevOps — a commercially relevant direction.
