The 5G-Industry Campus Europe is the first site in Europe with a comprehensive 5G network to explore new applications for 5G in production environments under real conditions. With an outdoor network of around 1 km² and an indoor network of 7000 m², the 5G network covers the area of the RWTH Aachen Campus Melaten and the machine halls of the participating institutes. Together with our research partners in Aachen, we are testing many 5G applications. In several 5G projects, various application scenarios are being investigated, ranging from 5G sensor technology for monitoring and controlling complex manufacturing processes, mobile robots working together on an assembly task, or AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) enabling flexible and logical supply chains. For all these applications, 5G offers the possibility of reliable real-time communication and thus the possibility of networked, adaptive production. In addition, the research partners are testing the use of modern edge cloud systems for fast data processing to test virtualization solutions and the potential for digital twins.
Infrastructure:
• Since 2019
• 5G-SA and 5G-NSA indoor networks in fully equipped machine halls @3.7-3.8GHz
• 5G outdoor network 1km^2 @3.7-3.8GHz
• Simultaneous 4G network @2.3 GHz
• 5G NSA mmWave network @26.7-27.5 GHz
• Mobile 5G test network (see also catalog entry "Hermes") @3.7-3.8 GHz
We are happy to provide our infrastructure for testing your own 5G applications or developments. Visit us at the booth and contact us!
