Microamp has successfully implemented a next-generation 5G mmWave network as part of the FlexShield project, which aims to advance teleoperation and develop autonomous transport systems for logistics.
The FlexShield project is a German initiative, funded by the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik focuses on creating resilient, future-proof communication based on 5G technology. The project aims to enable teleoperation in logistics, including the remote control of transport vehicles such as trucks, forklifts and other devices. Realized by a consortium consisting of Triopt Group, University of Duisburg-Essen, V-Tron and Logicall, the project strives to provide stable, high-performance communication in real-time operations within challenging industrial environments.
Microamp was responsible for deploying the 5G mmWave network, which provides the ultra-high bandwidth and remote, real-time control of the truck necessary for teleoperation systems. This technology ensures stable communication and efficient data transfer in logistics operations, supporting the objectives of the FlexShield project.
"We are pleased to have contributed to the FlexShield project by providing our mmWave technology, which is a key element in enabling stable and efficient communication for teleoperated systems. This technology supports the development of advanced logistics and automation solutions and we are glad to be part of this important initiative."
Dawid Kuchta, CEO of Microamp
Key Innovations in FlexShield
FlexShield introduces four core innovations designed to enhance the resilience and reliability of the 5G infrastructure: redundancy of 5G systems in the 3.7 GHz and 26 GHz bands, testing of 5G Relay Drones, the use of real-time, programmable Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) transmission mechanisms and the application of hardware-based authentication and runtime software integrity verification. These innovations strengthen the 5G network, ensuring uninterrupted service for critical industrial applications such as teleoperation in logistics.
Impact on Industry and Logistics
The deployment of the Microamp mmWave network, along with other advanced technologies, allows the automation of logistics processes and reduces the risk of accidents. By enabling teleoperation, vehicles can be controlled remotely, alleviating workers and increasing operational efficiency. Through its collaboration with Microamp, the FlexShield project aims to make logistics safer, more efficient and more sustainable.
