A new 5G network backbone for more advanced research initiatives and immersive learning platforms has been deployed at Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences (TH Rosenheim) in Germany, thanks to a collaboration between Slovenia’s Kontron and Mugler SE.
Slovenia’s Kontron’s 5G Mobile Private Network (MPN), integrated by network systems integrator and telecommunications solutions supplier Mugler SE, will provide greater speeds, low latency, and increased capacity for more than 7,500 students at the university’s proto_lab research facility.
“At Kontron, we are proud to be part of a project that not only advances cutting-edge research but also creates invaluable learning opportunities for the next generation of innovators,” said Slovenia’s Kontron Executive Director of Communications Solutions, Janez Öri.
“The deployment of our 5G MPN underscores our commitment to empowering industries and academic institutions with reliable, high-performance connectivity solutions that drive transformation and progress.
“The collaboration with TH Rosenheim and Mugler SE serves as a blueprint for the future, demonstrating how academia and industry can work together to empower education through technology.”
The network will enable a seamless integration of AI algorithms and real-time applications at network edge and in the cloud. This aligns with the core aim of proto_lab’s groundbreaking research projects under the guidance of Research Professor in AI for Technical Systems and Co-Director of proto_lab, Prof. Dr. Ing. Noah Klarmann. It will also equip students with the skills to innovate in an increasingly digitalised world.
