Huge interest in 5G

The new communications standard 5G has left the research laboratories and can now be experienced. Telekom is showing the world's first real-time multiplayer augmented reality game and will be launching the first industry campus network.

Press conference MWC Barcelona 2019, view from Claudia Nemat on stage into the audience. — More than a hundred journalists joined Claudia Nemat, Board Member for Technology and Innovation. According to Nemat, 5G will initially support automated driving and, in a second step, autonomous driving - especially in bottlenecks such as roundabouts. At Ernst-Reuter Platz in Berlin – a huge roundabout – DT has installed five cameras that monitor the flow of the cars. The camera data are analyzed in real time. Via neural networks and decentralized computing power. The output of that analysis can be used to optimize traffic light steering in roundabouts in real time. © Deutsche Telekom AG.

Claudia Nemat asked T-Systems Board Member, Adel Al-Saleh, on stage and their guest Stefan Fritz, Vice President Digital Factory at Osram. Together, they put Osram's campus network into operation from the distance. A campus network is a combination of a private and a public mobile network - for production facilities, for example. In Schwabmünchen near Augsburg, Germany, Osram and Telekom are now operating the first campus network of its kind. The first step is via 4G, later via 5G. The first application: self-driving, networked vehicles, transporting materials in a manufacturing facility. © Deutsche Telekom AG.

Visitors of the MWC 2019 experiencing a new smartphone game. — Fast response times also for new games: Pokemon GO is taking game players out of their homes with its Augmented Reality (AR) world. However, something that was missing, was a game for several players who can perceive both virtual elements and their fellow players on the screen. And that in real time. In short: “Multigaming AR”. Fast response times are required for this - nothing for a central and remote server of the game provider. Mini data centers are the solution here. Several players can play at the same time and see the other players on their smartphone screens. The devices show small items on the floor, which are collected and thrown as colorful balls at fellow players. “Our network is now ready for Multigaming AR,” Nemat said. © Deutsche Telekom AG.
