Deutsche Telekom and Ericsson have partnered to provide industry solutions for OSRAM.
Deutsche Telekom offers so-called campus network solutions to its industry customers based on a dual slice approach. This solution combines and integrates public and private LTE connectivity, often enhanced with a local edge cloud deployment.
OSRAM and Deutsche Telekom are prototyping and testing a mobile robotics solution at the OSRAM factory in Schwabmünchen. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) will be used to transport goods across the OSRAM shop floor in the more flexible production environment. Ericsson is the provider of the campus network system at the Schwabmünchen site. As well as being the radio partner for the surrounding public LTE coverage, Ericsson will provide the system technology for the special indoor factory coverage and the local core network as part of the dual slice solution.
Campus Network solutions are connectivity and enhanced connectivity solutions for a defined local area (such as an industrial campus) that are tailored to the needs of the customers and use cases prevailing in this area. Throughput, latency, reliability, security, IoT device management and other quality-of-service components are guaranteed based on service level agreements with the customers.
Campus Network solutions can support many industrial use cases in the Industry 4.0 era.
