Networks of tomorrow
By establishing open testbeds based on next-generation mobile networks (advanced 5G and 6G), we can enable the innovation and development of advanced digital services that promote Swedish industry and increase collaboration with international stakeholders.
The testbeds will provide opportunities to test services on upcoming mobile infrastructure at an early stage. This fosters industrial innovation and is designed to secure Sweden's position as a leader in telecommunications. The open testbeds in Lund make the location attractive both nationally and internationally.
