About the project

The University of Vigo aimed to promote excellence in technological research and validate future communications standards prior to their commercial adoption. To this end, it entrusted Telefónica with the deployment of a pioneering experimental private network on its campus.

The project represents an international milestone as it is one of the largest-scale deployments of millimetre-wave technology in educational settings, supported by a flexible, high-speed connectivity infrastructure.

The new architecture enables data to be processed immediately on campus. This ‘living lab’ is used to securely validate critical and highly demanding use cases, such as the remote control of autonomous vehicles, robots, and drones.

Highlights of the success story

A world-class living laboratory

The campus becomes a unique experimental environment in Europe, hosting a high concentration of technology and facilitating innovation and scientific development.

Immediate processing and minimal latency

The integration of advanced edge servers enables data to be processed directly on the campus, reducing response times for critical applications.

Getting ready for future 6G standards

It enables the testing of disruptive technologies prior to their commercial adoption, positioning the university and its partners at the forefront of connectivity.

A milestone in millimetre-wave connectivity

This involves a large-scale deployment of high-frequency bands indoors, offering ultra-dense connection capabilities and next-generation performance.

Validation of autonomous vehicles and drones

The infrastructure acts as a platform for evaluating demanding remote-control applications, ensuring the quality and continuity of real-time.

What they say about us

    "It is a unique experimental network at a European level, featuring a high number of components, radio base stations, computing equipment, and optical communication systems. It is a testbed where we can implement a huge range of options that would not be possible elsewhere: a living lab that makes it possible to advance new technologies towards sixth-generation networks and turns the campus into a unique testbed for validating technologies and standards prior to their commercial adoption." "A living laboratory capable of driving the development of new technologies towards sixth-generation networks’. This “turns the campus into a unique test bed for validating technologies and standards before their commercial adoption".
