Three questions for Herbert Wegmann, General Manager Industrial Communication and Identification
at Siemens, concerning the opportunities and limits of 5G.
People have been talking about 5G for some time now, but the standards for industrial 5G won’t be published until mid of 2020.
Hermann Wegmann: No, because now it’s only a question of time.
The important thing is that the requirements of industrial companies are being standardized in Release 16 (expected M2020) and 17 (expected E2021) from 3GPP, the international mobile radio standards organization.
More important Another important step promoting the system’s acceptance by industrial companies was the decision of the Federal Network Agency to enable companies that want to use 5G in their factories to create their own local networks.
Now it’s clear that in Germany we can use the 100 MHz frequency band between 3.7 and 3.8 GHz for industrial applications with a high quality of service.
We’re happy about that, not only because we have advocated this policy but also because Industrial 5G will enable us to completely connect industry for the first time.
Which aspect of 5G impresses you most?
Wegmann: The numbers – one million connected units per square kilometer, a transmission rate of up to 20 gigabits per second, and a reaction time of only a few milliseconds.
But what impresses me most is the things that Industrial 5G will make possible.
Companies will be able to dynamically adapt their production areas to current circumstances at any time, without having to make major changes to their infrastructure.
What are 5G’s limits?
Wegmann: Of course we have to have realistic expectations as we move ahead.
If you picture the three advantages of 5G – the bandwidth, the number of connected devices, and the quality of service – in a triangle, you can’t expand all three sides indefi
