5G network to spark research , learning and innovation opportunities at German University
new 5G network backbone for more
A advanced research initiatives and immersive learning platforms has been deployed at Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences ( TH Rosenheim ) in Germany , thanks to a collaboration between Slovenia ’ s Kontron and Mugler SE .
Slovenia ’ s Kontron ’ s 5G Mobile Private Network ( MPN ), integrated by network systems integrator and telecommunications solutions supplier Mugler SE , will provide greater speeds , low latency , and increased capacity for more than 7,500 students at the university ’ s proto _ lab research facility .
“ At Kontron , we are proud to be part of a project that not only advances cuttingedge research but also creates invaluable learning opportunities for the next generation of innovators ,” said Slovenia ’ s Kontron Executive Director of Communications Solutions , Janez Öri .
“ The deployment of our 5G MPN underscores our commitment to empowering industries and academic institutions with reliable , highperformance connectivity solutions that drive transformation and progress .
“ The collaboration with TH Rosenheim and Mugler SE serves as a blueprint for the future , demonstrating how academia and industry can work together to empower education through technology .”
The network will enable a seamless integration of AI algorithms and real-time applications at network edge and in the cloud . This aligns with the core aim of proto _ lab ’ s groundbreaking research projects under the guidance of Research Professor in AI for Technical Systems and Co-Director of proto _ lab , Prof . Dr . Ing . Noah Klarmann . It will also equip students with the skills to innovate in an increasingly digitalised world .
French airports elevate passenger experience with Extreme Networks
In partnership with SPIE ICS , CDG and ORY have integrated Extreme Fabric , ExtremeCloud IQ and Universal hardware to streamline connectivity for millions of travellers and thousands of airline staff . The airports recently executed a network upgrade , replacing outdated switches across 700 technical locations without disrupting 24 / 7 operations . This overhaul has improved bandwidth by 10 to 25 times , standardised technical processes and increased energy efficiency .
“ With Extreme solutions , we ’ re automating more and more tasks and empowering teams working onsite ,” said Nicolas Apchie , Head of Infrastructure and IT Operations , Groupe ADP . “ The automation tools we ’ re implementing with Extreme are making our day-to-day operations much easier .”
Paris Charles de Gaulle ( CDG ) and Paris-Orly ( ORY ), France ’ s two largest airports managed by Groupe ADP , have modernised their operations with Extreme Networks ’ advanced connectivity solutions .
As air travel reached record highs in 2024 , French airports turned to cutting-edge networking technology to ensure seamless passenger experiences , enhanced security and operational efficiency .
Extreme ’ s secure , cloud-managed network enables real-time co-ordination between airport staff , improves baggage tracking and enhances passenger services like Wi-Fi , kiosks and mobile applications . By leveraging Extreme ’ s analytics , airports can optimise foot traffic flow , manage peak travel times and provide an uninterrupted digital experience . As French airports continue to modernise , their investment in robust networking infrastructure ensures resilience , security and superior service , setting a benchmark for global air travel technology .
