SHANGHAI, June 28, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Phoenix Contact, Quectel and Ericsson have worked together to develop and

deploy the first industrial 5G router for local industrial applications in a

private 5G network.

With the help of the newly developed 5G Router, industrial applications, such

as machines, controls and other equipment, can now be connected to a private 5G

network and thus be orchestrated in their resource usage, priority and

behavior. They therefore offer a decisive advantage compared to previous mobile

radio solutions, which can only use all - mostly license-free - radio bands

with a best effort principle and which have to accept performance losses in

equal measure when the radio spectrum is heavily occupied.

To achieve this, all three companies brought their strengths together: Phoenix

Contact as the first choice supplier of WLAN, Bluetooth and mobile radio

routers for industrial applications, Quectel as the leading global supplier of

cellular and GNSS modules and Ericsson supporting the product development as a

network supplier and a leading force of the 5G technology development. By

starting to interact at an early stage, the three companies have been able to

rapidly develop a solution that provides industrial-grade performance over

private 5G networks. The collaboration between Quectel, Phoenix Contact and

Ericsson has seen extensive interoperability testing at the Ericsson lab to

ensure the reliable commercial performance of the 5G router. The experience

made is highly important for Ericsson following the strategic approach offering

5G solutions jointly with mobile network operators towards the industry. In

addition, all three companies cooperated closely to enable Industry 4.0

applications with this 5G standalone private network.
