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.
