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.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Satellite images show that Brazil has shrunk by more than 2.5 million hectares of rivers and lakes in 40 years, and the Pantanal, which depends almost 100% on rain due to the lack of dams, was 56% below the historical average of water in 2025.

China activates a 35.6-tesla super magnet in Beijing, surpassing Earth’s magnetic field by 700,000 times and opening a new phase in the race for semiconductors, clean energy, and extreme science.
