Recently, Do IoT Fieldlab installed a Beyond 5G network at SAM XL, making it one of the test facilities within the National 6G Testbed. Since then, new experiments have become possible. Experiments that simply weren’t possible before.
Take a look at the video below to see one example. Expert Antoine Dunand (SAM XL) explains how Beyond 5G has elevated a robotic dog to a device that detects and reacts to dangerous situations.
And there’s more to come. Do IoT Fieldlab, SAM XL, and Provincie Zuid-Holland are currently developing the Wireless Factory of the Future, a new project exploring how wireless communication can make factories more flexible, connected and intelligent. Due to the increasing shortage of technically skilled personnel, production processes need to be more efficient and more intelligent. The Dutch manufacturing ecosystem needs radical transformation to stay competitive. From manual work to smart, autonomous and connected production.

Let's innovate together!
Ask your question. You provide the ideas, we provide the connection – both human and wireless.
The arrival of 6G will bring an even greater number of connected devices. But there’s a challenge we can’t ignore: how do we scale the IoT without sending energy consumption through the roof?
Making the electricity grid smarter in real time, while keeping critical communications running during a blackout? Together with Future Network Services, TNO, TU Delft, and Nokia, we’re testing exactly that with the new 600 MHz antenna.
Solutions for challenges such as grid congestion? They might be closer than you’d expect. Imagine a building that knows what is happening indoors and adjusts its energy use accordingly. By combining insights into occupancy, energy consumption, and indoor climate, smart buildings can reduce peak loads and use energy more efficiently. This makes buildings not only more sustainable, but also safer and more efficient.
