Data security & privacy

This research focuses on exploring and exploiting the possibilities of 5G in the development of innovative data-driven services and the further development of camera and sensor systems for IoT applications. Data security and privacy protection play a major role in this context. Companies that want to improve their quality and productivity, save costs or develop new digital applications, encounter limitations of the current 4G infrastructure. These include insufficient network capacity, the complexity of modifying existing systems, or security risks.

EdgeGate

The goal of this project is to develop EdgeGate: a powerful, secure and cost-efficient platform for various AI (artificial intelligence) applications: Machine Learning, Internet of Things and Blockchain technology. The feasibility study should fully exploit all the advantages of the Do IoT 5G network to significantly improve the accessibility of the entire system, the bandwidth capacity, and applications’ reaction timings.

Ultimately, the new applications will make it easier to develop, connect and manage IoT solutions in the future. The next step after this research, will be to define, develop and validate use cases in several sectors. This is relevant for municipalities, the logistics sector, manufacturing companies and organisations that use camera and sensor networks, among others.

This project is enabled by the Kansen voor West programme (aimed at promoting the competitiveness of the Dutch Western region).

Humanoids picking tomatoes

The Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector is facing a pressing challenge: while the workload continues to increase, skilled labour is increasingly scarce. There is no shortage of tasks, only of hands to do them. How can we ensure that productivity and sustainability remain safeguarded? The Telegreen project may offer an answer: a collaboration between academia and companies developing an innovative humanoid arm that will support employees and secure the future of the sector.

Mapping offshore network coverage

Reliable coverage is not only important on land, but also at sea. Certain parts of the Dutch coastal waters are not covered. Therefore, startup Drocean aims to create a complete and detailed 5G/4G coverage map of the North Sea to foster within the Dutch maritime sector.

Better hearing thanks to 5G

How can 5G help hearing-impaired people have a much clearer hearing of speech in a noisy environment? Dutch company Absolute Audio Labs is experimenting with integrating 5G technology into a hearing aid. Their aim is to significantly improve the audibility of a conversation, even when someone is whispering.

Listening to plants in the greenhouse

Technological progress in recent years does not yet solve the labour shortage in greenhouse farming. The introduction of 5G is expected to accelerate innovation for sustainable food supply while stimulating more efficient cultivation. For instance, plant health is currently still mainly assessed by the human eye. Delft startup Plense Technologies wants to improve cultivation quality with their ultrasound sensors.

Insect monitoring in greenhouses

Delft based startup PATS is developing insect monitoring and bio-inspired control systems for greenhouse horticulture. Pest insects in a greenhouse can disturb plant growth or even be a threat to crop yields. Yet, in a healthy ecosystem, some insects can specifically be helpful. Therefore, distinguishing one from the other is preferable, to deploy the appropriate control measure. The aim of this project is to investigate how 5G can contribute to establish fast, reliable connections and improvement in data management.
