Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana and S&T Iskratel with state-of-the-art 5G equipment for students and research

At the Telecommunications Laboratory of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (Department of Information and Communication Technologies), together with Huawei, Telekom and the Public Research Agency of the Republic of Slovenia, they have set up a 5G research and test environment that will enable higher data transmission speeds, better reliability and energy efficiency.

Digital technology is having a powerful impact on the operation of critical enterprise infrastructure. 5G technology is spreading from public to private networks and will complement and replace other mobile technologies in the future. Private mobile networks give enterprises reliable, secure, and high-performance mobile communications, as well as control over data transmission and support for network operations under all conditions for mission-critical applications. “This is key to supporting digitization and ensuring the reliability and continuity of business operations. The transition to 5G private networks requires new competencies and business models. With this in mind, we are committed to developing a future person who can master increasingly powerful networks, who knows how to develop new innovative use cases for networks, and who can ensure a higher level of security for employees and critical infrastructure,” said Urban Zaletel, Head of 5G Development at S&T Iskratel.
