American telecommunications company has partnered with intelligent industry company Rockwell Automation to add private 5G network capabilities to the laboratory and drive the development of Industry 4.0 as part of a digital transformation plan.
Both parties stated that they will establish this laboratory at a location in Rockwell Automation, USA.
American Telecom explained that the facility will enable Rockwell Automation customers to interact and experiment with 5G networks in an innovative digital laboratory experience.

A carrier representative told Mobile World Live that they are using independent 5G and 3.5GHz CBRS spectra in the laboratory.
Rockwell Automation plans to simulate Industry 4.0 use cases in the fields of manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and the Internet of Things.
Key areas include connecting manufacturing facilities with sensors, machine learning, artificial intelligence, augmented reality/virtual reality, and autonomous robots.
American telecommunications company stated that combining 5G and fixed line infrastructure design will enable customers to benefit according to their own needs.
The expected outcomes of this partnership include smoother operations in factories or manufacturing workshops, as well as communication, monitoring, and control of complex automation processes such as conveyors, temperature control, robot units, and many other industrial machines.
