HFCL Launches 5G Lab-as-a-Service

Article By : HFCL Ltd

The 5G Lab provides a sandbox for rapid prototyping of 5G use cases addressing the needs of industry segments such as manufacturing and transportation.

Telecom operators are adopting multi-vendor networks based on cloud native technologies for faster and cost-effective rollout of 5G services and for improved user experience. There is also a need to support multiple frequency bands (sub-6 GHz, millimeter wave) and various deployment scenarios to realize diverse 5G use cases for consumer, enterprise and industry verticals.

In line with this, telecom equipment manufacturer and technology provider HFCL Ltd has launched its 5G Lab-as-a-Service to accelerate rollout of 5G solutions and services. HFCL’s 5G Lab-as-a-Service provides an automated test environment for the private sector, academia, and government to work together on product innovations from concept to reality. The 5G Lab provides a sandbox for rapid prototyping of 5G use cases addressing the needs of various industry segments that include manufacturing, transportation, healthcare and retail. The 5G Lab will help to create pre-integrated and pre-validated 5G solutions for Low Mobility Large Cell needed for efficient rollout of rural mobile broadband in the country.

“Integration of multi-vendor, multi-technology systems is complex, and requires validation and optimization of disaggregated components such as hardware, software, cloud and network functions for seamless deployment of 5G networks,” said Mahendra Nahata, Managing Director of HFCL. “HFCL’s state-of-art 5G Lab will enable technology providers such as telecom operators, network equipment providers, system integrators, IoT device manufacturers to analyze, integrate and validate performance and capabilities of their products and solutions in a real 5G network environment.”
