5G for structural change: iCampµs invites industry partners to 5G Day at BTU

The iCampµs research cooperation on microsensor technology and the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Spreeland in cooperation with Nokia, Smart Mobile Labs and ASCOM are jointly inviting interested company representatives to the BTU's main campus in Cottbus.

The commissioning of the BTU's own 5G network is accompanied by lively use, numerous exciting research activities and the involvement of established and new industry partners, whose information needs this all-day event takes into account.

In the morning of 22 January, the focus will be on the theoretical part with various presentations and in the afternoon on the practical part with demonstrations. Interested parties will learn how to install their own local 5G network and how it can be used for wireless data exchange between annexes, machines, other facilities and the control centre.

A wide range of innovations have already been successfully realised as part of the iCampus. For example, the researchers have launched microsensor applications for a medical radar system, optical skin screening and predictive machine maintenance. All of these developments were the result of close collaboration between scientific institutions and companies.

And this is exactly where we start: "We have two goals: We want to drive forward the networking of business and science in the fields of microsensor technology and digitalisation, as well as present companies with novel technologies and the latest trends in sustainable business management," explains iCampµs Innovation Manager Prof. Christine Ruffert.

On the premises of the BTU, participants will learn more about the scientific highlights from Lusatia and the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Spreeland. Interested parties will experience first-hand how augmented reality and virtual reality are already being actively implemented. At the same time, Nokia, Smart Mobile Labs and ASCOM will be presenting some of their security management concepts, such as alarm management and task management, as well as mobile communication and real-time video distribution on 5G smartphones with object and person recognition.

TheiCampusa research cooperation on microsensor technology, combines the application-oriented expertise of non-university research institutions and the research strength of BTU. The aim is to establish products in the field of microsensor technology and digitalisation together with small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) in Lusatia. The iCampµs concentrates on the four focus areas of "Digitalisation / Industry 4.0", "Process and Environmental Sensors", "Agriculture 4.0" and "Medicine / Life Sciences" and thus addresses a variety of possible applications.
