TU Dresden has set up a private 5G network across the main campus, marking a significant and cutting-edge technological step forward.The project, led by TU Dresden's 6G-life research centre, aims to support researchers in the development of innovative applications in various fields, from industry to healthcare.
Researchers at TU Dresden are now able to access an ultra-fast and state-of-the-art 5G network.
TU Dresden has set up a private 5G network across the main campus, marking a significant and cutting-edge technological step forward.The project, led by TU Dresden's 6G-life research centre, aims to support researchers in the development of innovative applications in various fields, from industry to healthcare.
Following a competitive tendering process, the TU Dresden spin-off CampusGenius was awarded the contract to set up five locations on the main campus in 2023. The infrastructure will later also be set up at the TU Munich. The private mobile network operates in the n78 frequency band (3.7-3.8 GHz) and is equipped with eleven antennas and over 100 connected modems. CampusGenius manages the network with its proprietary 5G core, the GeniusCore.
Looking to the future, TU Dresden is entering the second phase of network expansion and is working together with CampusGenius on the integration of mmWave technology, which allows 5G data transmissions at Gbit/s speeds. This further development will open up new possibilities for researchers and enable the use of FR2 technology for Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) applications.
The new 5G network is part of TU Dresden's strategic commitment to creating an environment in which cutting-edge research and development can thrive. By combining private 5G and mmWave technology, the university is positioning itself as a leader in driving advances in the digital landscape and ushering in a new era of connectivity and technological innovation.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
