Developed by the A6K 5G consortium, made up of industrialists and research centers such as Multitel, Alstom and AGC under the guidance of Proximus, this first Walloon 5G laboratory combines the potential of the 5G test network to try out and fine tune industrial processes with the technological know-how of companies to explore the new application opportunities offered by 5G.
Experimentation and demonstration of industrial applications of 5G
Thanks to this 5G laboratory, a player such as AISIN now has an infrastructure for experimenting with 5G technology on connected cars, AGC can test the performance of its glazing incorporating 5G antennas, and a company such as Alstom can evaluate ways of securing on-board communication systems for trains.
The space is open to any Walloon player wishing to test the technology and also to those who would like to use it as a demonstration space for new innovative solutions.
In addition to the infrastructures put in place, the A6K 5G consortium and Proximus have also launched a "5G club", under the leadership of Multitel and Akka Technologies to oversee the deployment and coordination of this first Walloon 5G laboratory.

The applications of 5G are numerous and it is important for us to listen to the needs of industrialists. We are delighted to have been able to set up an innovative and scalable indoor technical solution that will enable Belgian companies to help build the industry of the future.
