HIGHLIGHTS

Smart, innovative and effective networking for future society.

Due to the advancing integration of virtual and physical world in both professional and private life – examples include latest developments in areas such as Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things, or Social Media – highly available, reliable, and flexible communications networks gain an increasingly crucial significance.

5G Wireless System

We are involved in diverse verticals of the 5G research activities across regions (EU, Germany and beyond). We are committed to actively drive the collaboration with the 5G-PPP.

Industry 4.0

Innovative concepts for challenging communications solutions, in particular for deployment in industrial production environments, e.g., cyber-physical production systems (CPPSs).

AI

We integrate and develop AI assisted technologies into system solutions and conduct extensive validation and evaluation activities in numerous industrial application areas.
