5G technology test lab accelerates industry adoption
The 成人大片 is partnering with technology giant Nokia to establish the Nokia National 5G Industrial Incubation Lab to test the capabilities of cutting-edge technology and accelerate its adoption by industry.
$1.9 million in funding from the Australian Government has enabled the establishment of a localised 5G network and translation to industrial testbed applications.
鈥淭he Nokia 5G lab enables industry and businesses to test their systems within a secure environment,鈥 said the 成人大片鈥檚 Professor Nelson Tansu, Head of School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE).
鈥淭hese capabilities include internet-of-things, augmented reality, virtual reality, digital twinning in diverse application areas for biomedical, transportation, power systems, space, and defence.
鈥淭hree pilot projects are already underway at the Nokia 5G lab, investigating how the state-of-the-art wireless technology and systems could improve airport and rail safety and energy management.
鈥South Australia鈥檚 fast-rising high-tech sector has created a perfect ecosystem to support the National 5G Lab.鈥

One of the lab鈥檚 first partners, Adelaide Airport, is testing a variety of cameras and wearables such as the Microsoft HoloLens, as well as HD video streaming technology designed to enable real-time analysis of airport inspection and safety monitoring.
Pilot projects with SA Power Networks and the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, supported by the 成人大片鈥檚 researchers have also begun.
Development of the lab was announced following an agreement between Nokia and the South Australian Government鈥檚 Department for Trade and Investment.
The lab is located on the University鈥檚 North Terrace campus where Nokia experts will work alongside University colleagues and industry partners. The lab is expected to grow in line with business and industry鈥 demand.
Trade and Investment Minister Nick Champion MP said 5G had the potential to transform a range of industries including mining, transport and health.
