B2B technology company Panasonic Connect has opened a 5G hub in Germany.
The new testing hub is located at the Panasonic Campus in Munich. Panasonic says it partnered with a leading 5G-as-a-Service provider to offer dedicated and fully customised private 5G networks.
The company has installed two base stations at the hub where customers can perform handover tests with applications and Panasonic devices. Third-party manufacturers and software developers can also test their 5G devices at the site.
“Many organisations are looking to unlock the potential of 5G for enhanced efficiencies and connectivity but have concerns or are unsure about how to proceed,” says Panasonic Solutions Architect Thorsten Lutz. “With our connectivity experience and with multiple Panasonic mobile devices already optimised for 5G, it’s a natural next step for us to offer secure, superfast private 5G networks to customers and prospects across Europe, where traditional networks or public 5G is not fit for purpose.”
