Last week we opened our new 5G test facility at RoboHouse in the AgriFood Greenhouse. A first was immediately experienced during this sunny event: a robotic arm, connected to the new private 5G network, cutting the red ribbon.
The robotic arm was in the greenhouse but controlled from the expo area inside RoboHouse. This illustrated perfectly what 5G is capable of. On a large screen, visitors could see how the robot arm reacted in real time to the hand movements of VIP Ton Jonker, who had the honour of cutting the ribbon.
After the opening, Chris Pek, Assistant Professor of Cognitive Robotics at TU Delft, gave a keynote presentation on the possibilities of 5G for the agricultural sector. The event also featured several 5G demos, including one from PATS and Plense Technologies at in the AgriFood Greenhouse. The programme concluded with networking drinks and the opportunity to experience the difference between 4G and 5G using VR and AR. Our thanks go to all involved for contributing to the event, the demonstrations and the great atmosphere. Below is a photo impression of the event.
Ask your question. You provide the ideas, we provide the connection – both human and wireless.

This week, Do IoT Fieldlab, Future Network Services (FNS) and ICCS are in Barcelona to attend the Mobile World Congress: the world’s largest event for the connectivity industry! The theme for 2026: The IQ Era.
Remote maintenance inspections cannot always be carried out yet. However, the technologies to make it possible are already available. Combined, robotics, teleoperation, AI, and 5G promise greater productivity, and cost efficiency. But what is realistically achievable for your business today?
Join us on 12 March as we open the doors to our brand-new Beyond 5G test facility at SAM XL! During the event, you’ll explore how combining 5G and mobile robots can transform your organisation. Think seamless collaboration between mobile robots, stationary robots, and people. In just a few hours, you will see how 5G and Beyond 5G can strengthen factory and logistics operations.
Do IoT Fieldlab and Tomatoworld join forces on Thursday 30 October for this autumn’s must-attend event on innovation, technology, and the future of greenhouse horticulture. From 15:00 to 17:00, Tomatoworld opens its doors to growers, partners, and other professionals from across the sector. You may have already added this event to your diary. And if not…now’s the time!
Missed the National 6G Conference on 7 October 2025? Or fancy a trip down memory lane? We’ve gathered all the photos for you. Let’s see if you can spot yourself!
Today, the National 6G Testbed officially goes live. This initiative offers Dutch SMEs and startups the chance to develop, test and validate 6G applications under realistic conditions – well before the future rollout of 6G. The testbed includes the latest mobile communication infrastructure and is embedded in a network of five regional 6G Field Labs. These technologies go beyond 5G and form the foundation for the development of 6G. The programme is part of Future Network Services (FNS), for which TNO acts as lead partner.
