Moxa showcased the company’s recent advances in industrial 5G solutions at Hannover Messe 2023.

The demonstration highlighted Moxa’s breakthroughs in tackling the complexity of Operational Technology (OT) and Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) convergence to realize private 5G networks for a wide range of industrial applications. With ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth connections, these dedicated cellular solutions provide the reliability and flexibility to address the dynamic requirements of different industries and improve industrial efficiency, productivity, and safety.

The demonstration focused on two use cases. The first case illustrated how its 5G onboard router enables train-to-ground (T2G) communications in a 5G network with Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), providing more than 1 Gbps throughput and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support for 50 ms recovery times with dual cellular tunnels. The second case showed how private 5G network solutions open up new opportunities for growth and one-of-a-kind solutions by combining various devices and industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP/RTU, PROFINET, and OPC UA, enabling integrated data flows between remote I/O devices, serial device servers, Ethernet switches, and gateways for data collection and monitoring in smart manufacturing.

“With a proven track record of more than 20 successful private 5G proof-of-concept (PoC) and proof-of- business (PoB) projects in vertical markets including rail, manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, Moxa is well on track to becoming the world’s first to deploy a private 5G network for industrial automation at a high- end manufacturing site,” said Dr. David Chen, Director of R&D Center at Moxa.
