WEG Completes First Phase of Practical 5G Technology Tests at Its Factory in Jaraguá do Sul. Results Are Positive and 5G Could Boost Industry 4.0

WEG announced the completion of the first phase of practical connectivity tests to the 5G network of the WEG/V2COM Open Lab. The company’s project is carried out in partnership with the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI) and the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), and had its first “tests” a few days ago at one of WEG’s factories, located in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina. WEG’s objective is to test the connectivity of various devices and equipment to the 5G network, contributing to the creation of economically viable solutions for industry using 5G technology.

According to Guilherme Spina, director of V2COM, a company of the WEG Group, the company conducted tests evaluating the coexistence and performance of devices and antennas with the technology in a real factory environment in Jaraguá do Sul, in order to gather information on frequency ranges, power, latency, and other characteristics relevant to industrial applications, which will also contribute to the Public Consultation conducted by Anatel.

All tests in the factory were conducted using more than one network simultaneously. A private network with local infrastructure and a network provided by a telecom operator, aimed at gathering data and information for Anatel and supporting the process of defining the requirements and conditions for the use of frequency bands, for the granting and regulation of private networks for industrial use in Brazil.

For Anatel, the practical results will contribute to the evaluation of 5G’s capabilities, particularly regarding the characteristics of operation in the industry, observing the limits of power radiation defined in regulations.

Get to Know WEG

WEG was founded on September 16, 1961, in the city of Jaraguá do Sul (SC), from the union of the skills of an electrician, an administrator, and a mechanic. Its initial name was Eletromotores Jaraguá and, shortly after, it became known as WEG.

Initially, the company produced electric motors, only expanding in the 1980s, with the production of electromechanical components, power and distribution transformers, industrial automation products, and many other activities.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Scientists create “living” materials that crawl, walk, and dig on their own by transforming internal tension into movement, mimicking biological tissues without having real cells.

NR-1 obliges companies to pay attention to mental health at work and highlights the impact of abusive targets, exhausting work hours, and harassment on leaves due to psychological disorders.

First electric Ferrari emerges with five seats, unconventional design, million-dollar price, and a burning question among fans: genius or betrayal of tradition?

Labubu officially arrives in Brazil in June with prices up to R$ 799.99, attempts to curb the invasion of counterfeits, and turns serrated-tooth dolls into a new craze among collectors.

Luciano Hang, owner of Havan, surprises and announces R$ 100 million to employees with the advance payment of the PPR and 13th salary for more than 23,000 employees during the 40th anniversary of the retailer, which aims to reach 200 megastores in Brazil.

A viaduct over 40 years old in a city in Minas Gerais was closed due to the risk of collapse, blocked routes for months, exposed maintenance failures, and now requires a R$ 1.7 million project to prevent a collapse in the urban heart for decades.

Viaduct used every day by cars, buses, and pedestrians in the center of a São Paulo city becomes a legal case after a report indicates “imminent danger,” cracks, corrosion, and high lethality risk.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

How much does it cost to make a radier? A shallow foundation can speed up the construction and reduce stages, but poorly compacted soil, excess load, and design errors can turn the concrete slab into cracks, structural settlements, and much higher expenses later on.

Goodbye steel rebar? Scientists create 3D-printed plastic reinforcement that “bites” into concrete, prevents corrosion, and could change beams, slabs, and bridges in civil construction.
