This abstract examines the evolution of wireless communications technologies beyond 5G (B5G) and the emergence of 6G. It highlights their key role in powering the Internet of Things (IoT) and enabling edge computing. Built on shared resources, this system is exposed to various real-time application scenarios and uses simulated user equipment (UE) and operational Nextcloud instances. Performance metrics are analyzed and the system can automatically scale during high network traffic to ensure high availability. Key concepts include Radio Access Network (RAN), Edge Computing, User Equipment and Virtual Network Functions (VNF). This framework relies on shared resources and undergoes rigorous testing with real-time application scenarios, using simulated User Equipment (UE) and operational Nextcloud instances.
