This poster showcases an industry-academia collaboration between Telefónica and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, aiming to establish a testbed to support research and experimentation with novel IoT, edge, and cloud computing technologies. The testbed has been deployed at the 5G Telefonica Open Network Innovation Centre (5TONIC), and enables the seamless integration of IoT/Edge/Cloud infrastructure domains using virtual and hardware components that can be made available both within 5TONIC and external premises. The design of the testbed is based on key enabling technologies in 5G/6G networking, including Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software Defined Networking (SDN), and cloud-native computing, as well as on a Secure Infrastructure Abstraction (SIA) that facilitates automation and secure network communications.
