WECA’s 5G Logistics project programme will develop 5G products and services to support operations at Bristol Port and Gravity Smart Campus and demonstrate a smart and dynamic port environment. The project will focus on security, traceability, and real-time tracking of goods within and across extendable virtual boundaries – and between public and private networks.
The University of Bristol’s Smart Internet Lab will play a crucial role in the 5G Logistics project by providing the overall project architecture and technology vision development. The lab will lead on the end-to-end technical and system integration design, as well as supporting all work packages related to architecture and technology.
Professor Dimitra Simeonidou, Director of the Smart Internet Lab at the University of Bristol, said:
“The University is leading on the technology that forms the core of the free port, free economic zones, 5G-enabled use case. With an excellent track record in similar research and innovation projects, together with our know-how in 5G, IoT and AI, we will bring significant expertise to the research and development of the entire project.
“I am very confident we will fulfil our aim which is to demonstrate the enormous benefits 5G can bring to the logistics industry.”
