In a groundbreaking decision, the world’s first Non-cellular 5G technology standards It has been recognized by the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) and is included in the IMT-2020 technical recommendation as part of the 5G standard.
Wirepas is a Finnish company with a mission to democratize the Internet of Things. It is a major contributor to the new standard, which sets an example for the future of connectivity: infrastructure-free, autonomous, and decentralized technology for large-scale IoT networks for enterprises And design.
It has no single point of failure, it can be accessed by anyone, and its cost is only a fraction of that of a cellular network, whether in dollars or carbon footprint.
- Free dedicated international frequency
- Dense and massive network capabilities
- One-tenth of the cost of a mobile phone
- Lowest carbon footprint for large-scale networks
this New standards for the Internet of Things, is defined as search 5G makes it accessible to everyone, because it allows any enterprise to build and manage its own network without the need for an operator anywhere in the world. Compared with cellular solutions, it eliminates network infrastructure and single points of failure at a tenth of the cost. It also enables companies to operate without intermediaries or subscription fees, and store and use the generated data in the way they think is best for them (on-premises, public cloud, or somewhere in between).
“Why optimise cutting-edge connections for a selected few people? Why should only a few people benefit from technological mastery and receive profits? We believe that the latest and affordable technologies are the foundation for a more equal business environment and a more equal world. Wirepas to all People have opened up its revolutionary mesh technology, and the resulting new 5G IoT standard has been established, so anyone, even small and medium-sized companies, can afford and understand it. This is the first item that can be cost-effective and efficient The technology to connect millions of devices to the ground. This is the first step for the masses to digitalize, and there will be more in the future.” Said Teppo Hemiä, CEO of Wirepas.
Another aspect of democratization is frequency. The new 5G standard supports efficient shared spectrum operations, allowing access to free international spectrum, such as 1.9 GHz.
Jussi Numminen, Wirepas’ RF Director, explained: “There is a lot of discussion about private networks, but this is the first 5G technology that can support shared spectrum operations and multiple local networks in mobile system frequencies. We think this is a basic requirement for large-scale digitization for everyone. With the help of new standards , You can immediately get a free, dedicated 1.9 GHz international frequency. It is the perfect partner for the large-scale Internet of Things.”
In terms of technology, the new non-cellular 5G is based on a completely different principle from cellular 5G. One of the biggest differences and advantages is the decentralized network.in a Non-cellular 5G network, Every device is a node, every device can be a router-as if every device is a base station. The device automatically finds the best route; adding new devices to the network routing can also work autonomously, if a device fails, these devices will reroute by themselves. This means that reliable communication eliminates single points of failure.
The distributed grid with short hops and small transmission power also means that the carbon footprint of the communication system is significantly reduced. A recent study by the University of Tampere in Finland found that compared with a traditional cellular topology with the same radio energy distribution, the system-level energy efficiency is improved by about 60%.
Hemiä thinks this number will be higher: “These results were achieved without optimizations already under development. Once these factors are taken into account, we expect greater potential to achieve higher energy efficiency. When we start to see very large-scale adoption Time, this is an important point to consider.”
this New standards for 5G Internet of Things It is suitable for enterprises such as smart meters, industry 4.0, building management systems, logistics and smart cities. It will assist in the urbanization, construction and energy consumption of these smart cities. It also opens up opportunities for new use cases and massively expands the level of communication in the future. The energy transition from fossil fuels to electricity has promoted the local renewable energy production and consumption markets that require new communication capabilities. This creates a circular economy and enables the traceability of goods, raw materials and waste.
Teppo Hemiä concluded and concluded:
“This new 5G Internet of Things standard has always been the missing part of the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things. We know that today only 5% of the things that will be connected are connected. To connect the remaining 95%, we need to put aside our past practices and dare Take a different route. We see this new standard as the beginning of a new era of connectivity.”
“Many great international connectivity standards were born in Europe. Many of our employees are involved in these tasks. Now we are proud to be able to bring the next major contribution to Europe.”
The new 5G IoT standard developed by ETSI, ETSI TS 103 636 series, Currently called DECT-2020 None The standard was released last year. The first product, Wirepas private 5G, Will be listed in 2022.
