Establishment of 5G connectivity for comprehensive connectivity in underground spaces
RFS is a specialist in reliable and long-service life connectivity systems with innovative cable solutions across the globe. Its advanced radiating cables achieve optimised performance at the highest frequency bands and allow for ultra-broadband wireless communication networks, particularly where awkward spaces make delivering connectivity a challenge. Together with COCUS, RFS is innovating indoor and underground connectivity by testing and optimizing cable-based 5G antenna systems within its own on-premise 5G network deployed by COCUS.
Goals
- Enablement of real-time communication for automated warehouse management systems
- Ensurement of reliable real-time data transmission for robotics and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
- Allowing real-time monitoring of storage, energy consumption, temperature & air conditions
