16:06
PKN ORLEN will be the first company in Poland to test a private, industrial 5G network in the real environment of advanced industrial infrastructure.
The company received a temporary assignment of radio frequencies and approval from the Office of Electronic Communications to carry out internal tests, which will be conducted at the production plant in Płock and at a nearby service station.
5G technology will make it possible to use in real-time the vast amount of data flowing from measuring devices, sensors, and production machines. It also ensures the reliability of information transmission in critical applications in the field of control and monitoring of production processes.
The tests will last until February 2022 and will be conducted in a real industrial environment of the infrastructure of the Production Plant in Plock.
UKE reports that the 5G tests at Orlen involve two sites. A 5 MHz block at 800 MHz (ex Sferia) and 80 MHz at 3.4 GHz (‘0’ block) are used, and the test permits are valid until the end of March 2022.
