5G Competence Centre
The time of implementing 5G radio systems is not only a revolution for mobile network operators and for the individual customers, who thanks to new solutions will receive faster access to the Internet. It is primarily the revolution whose purpose is to implement numerous innovative technologies and solutions targeted at industrial customers. Reliable, robust and fast communication will enable, among others, effective use of 5G networks in the control and management of production processes and will contribute to the development of industry 4.0. The possibility of effective communication with a huge number of devices in connection with the use of artificial intelligence methods is the basis for the development of Internet of Things (IoT) services and the implementation of the concept of smart cities. Undoubtedly, these changes create new opportunities for the region's development. The 5G Competence Centre which has just been established at PŁ will provide support to enterprises in working on new services and technologies. A group of cooperating specialists, with access to unique technological resources and tools supporting design, will focus on the flawless implementation of the project. What is more, a pilot network, funded by the Ministry of Development and currently being created to be launched in May this year at the Lodz University of Technology, will in turn allow for initial verification and testing of new services and device prototypes.
