This collaboration takes place within the framework of the H2020 EU 5G-INDUCE project, with special focus in 5G services for the Industry 4.0. The estimated duration of the project will extend until the end of 2023 and will take place at the 5TONIC facilities in Madrid, being the basis for testing and refining the product. The research will also include the AGVs (automated guided vehicles) from ASTI Mobile Robotics, available at 5TONIC lab and the deployment of Ericsson’s 5G SA (Stand Alone) network.

Fivecomm’s mission is to facilitate the adoption of 5G technologies by vertical industries such as robotics, automotive, education, healthcare, energy, or the Industry 4.0. For Héctor Donat, Fivecomm’s CEO, this collaboration is “extremely beneficial for us and a great opportunity to keep working on 5G research applied to the industry, one of our most important pillars. In Fivecomm, we have experts in 5G technologies that will provide their know-how and experience to 5TONIC”.

Arturo Azcorra, Vicepresident of the 5TONIC lab, indicated that “we are very pleased to add a new collaborator to the laboratory. A growing number of companies are joining 5TONIC to innovate and develop projects together with other companies. Our collaborative formula makes possible to achieve particular objectives jointly”.
