Developing a cutting edge lab for 5G research

The 5G lab, conceived with the Polytechnic University of Valencia, represents a significant step forward in the expansion of Fundación Valenciaport’s infrastructure, providing comprehensive support for its port-logistics innovation projects.

Research collaboration

In recent years, both entities have collaborated in numerous research projects at regional, national and European level, exploring the capabilities of next-generation communication technologies in port environments in order to implement new applications and use cases in the Port of Valencia.

This laboratory will be established as a test bed specialised in validating cutting-edge applications in port environments, such as augmented reality, remote control of robots and holographic communications, among other technologies.

These tests will be carried out, on the one hand, in an environment controlled by the UPV and, later, in the real environment of the port; something that will boost its levels of technological maturity.

This laboratory will consist of shared infrastructure, located both in the Port of Valencia and in the UPV, which will connect both entities by means of a dedicated high-capacity fibre optic connection.

The 5G+ VLCPortLab will represent a significant step forward in the expansion of Fundación Valenciaport’s infrastructure, providing comprehensive support to ongoing projects within the port environment.

This includes projects such as the national projects of the UNICO 5G R&D plan Advancing 5G Digital Twins, with which real-time digital twin pilots will be carried out, or the 5GNACAR of the UNICO 5G Sectorial plan, focused on the intelligent management of the 5G network.

Conceived as a driving agent for future innovation projects, the lab’s establishment will also pave the way for Fundación Valenciaport to collaborate with companies and organisations in the research and development of cutting-edge applications and systems.
