Fraunhofer IPT prepares for 5G networks in the industry, allowing for speedy advanced control tasks and hosting computing power within the cloud. Within industrial automation, this is highly efficient -- from a more traditional stance in the space, it has often centered around consumer market.
Niels König from Fraunhofer IPT states that "As an industrial user, to benefit from the advantages 5G offers, you definitely need a private network." Speeds such as 10 gb/s and a latency of about 1ms are only achievable through private networks and more difficult through smartphones. Fraunhofer IPT is one of the partners within the 5G-Acia consortium, which stands for "Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation. This project works towards implementing 5G technology throughout multiple industries
