About us

Our story

The story of Do IoT Fieldlab starts in 2019, when TU Delft, TNO, the Municipality of Delft, the Metropolitan Region Rotterdam The Hague (MRDH), the Municipality of Katwijk, Holland Rijnland, and the Province of Zuid-Holland joined forces to create a dedicated place for wireless innovations. Since then, it has become an environment within the TU Delft where collaboration and innovation go hand in hand. Now, years later, the Fieldlab has established itself as a true wireless communication expert.

The Fieldlab brings together businesses, researchers and public organisations to develop the next generation of wireless technologies, such as 5G. We also play an active role in developing 6G in The Netherlands within the National 6G Testbed. These networks are not only topic of research at Do IoT Fieldlab, but also used to develop smart applications in sectors such as horticulture, manufacturing and energy.

In cases of collaboration, organizations gain access to fully customisable indoor and outdoor test facilities, where they can to refine ideas side by side with leading experts and assess the technical feasibility before making major investments. The Fieldlab is an open environment for experimentation, learning and knowledge sharing, and a true breeding ground. Whether you are a start-up or an established company, we offer the tools and support to turn ideas into reality or enhance existing products or services. The aim is clear: to accelerate wireless innovation and make it available to society more quickly.
