What is 5G?
5G is the fifth generation of mobile communications—the successor to 4G (LTE).
It enables:
- Very high data rates (up to 10 Gbit/s)
- Extremely low latency (less than 10 milliseconds)
- Reliable connections for many devices simultaneously
Typical areas of application:
- Industry 4.0 (networked production, automated manufacturing)
- Research and development
- Smart cities
- Healthcare (e.g., telemedicine, networked medical devices)
- Autonomous driving or drone technologies
5G is not only intended for fast Internet on cell phones, but also enables the development of new 5G campus network technology.
A 5G campus network is a locally limited, private mobile network based on 5G technology. It is set up and operated specifically for a particular location, such as a company, research laboratory, university campus, or industrial site.
What are the advantages of a 5G campus network?
Unlike the public mobile network, a campus network is not accessible to the general public, but is only used by authorized devices and users. It offers many advantages:
• High data rates: Large amounts of data can be transferred quickly (up to 10 Gbit/s).
• Very low latency: Response times in the millisecond range – important for real-time applications such as robotics or autonomous systems.
• Reliability and stability: The network is not overloaded by public use.
• Security: Data remains in the local network and can be better protected.
• Customizable: Frequencies, capacities, and services can be tailored to individual needs.
A 5G campus network is a customized 5G network for a specific location that enables maximum performance, security, and control—ideal for modern, digital applications.
Speed
5G is 100 times faster than the current LTE network.
With 5G, initially up to 1 Gbit/s, later even up to 10 Gbit/s are possible. This is important for transmitting huge amounts of data.
Capacity
1000 times more users and devices.
The 5Giganetz is the engine for the Internet of Things (IoT). For networking refrigerators, sports shoes but also traffic lights.
Latency
Minimum delay in data transmission.
With 5G it takes only one millisecond for the network to respond to requests. The 5Giganetz is the real-time Internet.
Security
Network Slicing adapts the 5Giganetz to different requirements. Extra fast for self-propelled cars, extra large bandwidths for video streaming
Energy efficiency
Long battery life, low power transmitters.
The 5Giganetz needs significantly less power to send or receive data.
