Continental's plant in Brandýs nad Labem is now equipped with 5G Network

TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, CONTINENTAL has launched its first private 5G network among its European manufacturing sites at its display solutions plant in Brandýs nad Labem, Czechia.

- 

The 5G network, specifically set-up to fit Continental’s requirements for high-tech production, from Czechia’s T-Mobile is expected to further advance the digitalisation of production by speeding up communication between employees, equipment, and machines, such as sensors, production robots and autonomous transport vehicles.

Additionally, it is improving connectivity between Continental plants in the global production network, thanks to a uniform and secure environment with reduced latency times. In total, Continental plans to integrate more than 1,000 devices and sensors into the network at its plant in Brandýs. Covering an area of 5,000 square meters, eight network access points provide the signal for the private 5G network.
