telent supports the 5G application process for LSU Schäberle

LSU Schäberle becomes the first logistics service provider in Germany with its own 5G license with the help of telent
 

Backnang, Germany - 07 May 2020 – At the beginning of April 2020, the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) approved LSU Schäberle's application for a company-owned 5G network. This makes the company the first logistics service provider in Germany with its own 5G license. telent coordinated the process of frequency application and is now supporting the development of LSU Schäberle's 5G infrastructure. “As a specialist for hazardous material logistics, safety and a high degree of transparency in our complex logistics processes are essential. The new mobile phone standard helps us guarantee these requirements,” says Thomas Schäberle, Managing Director of LSU Schäberle.

High data rate, short reaction time 
The advantages are obvious: with your own 5G network, not only can you transmit larger amounts of data, but the new mobile phone standard also reacts much faster. This enables data to be transmitted almost in real time. “This gives us the opportunity to drive technological change forward,” explains Schäberle. The high data transmission rate within the 5G network guarantees, among other things, smooth processes within the supply and process chain and is thus a prerequisite for automating operating procedures accordingly.
 

Automating and digitizing operating processes 

The planned 5G campus network is intended to mobilise and automate large areas within operational processes. A new logistics hall especially for hazardous material, which will be completed in July 2021, can now benefit from the diverse possibilities of private LTE/5G technology. “We have the ambition to build one of the most modern and innovative hazardous material warehouses in Germany,” Schäberle emphasises.
 

Innovative use cases planned with 5G
In the future, industrial trucks such as forklifts will have mobile access to servers and databases via the 5G campus network, so that processes within LSU Schäberle's extensive logistics halls can be almost completely digitalized. In addition, the company's own 5G technology offers numerous possibilities for autonomous picking processes. 
 

Additionally, LSU Schäberle is aiming for autonomous industrial trucks, especially hi-rackers and fully-automated yard management, as well as comprehensive and high-resolution video surveillance, state-of-the-art access control and digital facility management. “In this way, 5G provides real added value for the company and, of course, for our customers,” says the Managing Director, underlining his decision to invest in the 5G network at an early stage. “In addition, our own 5G campus network will make us independent of the major mobile and telecommunications providers, giving us a greater degree of control over our data and making us more independent of any incidents,” concludes Thomas Schäberle.
 

“5G and campus networks are a strategic segment of telent GmbH. We have many years of experience in radio technology and, as a manufacturer-independent system integrator, offer a comprehensive portfolio in the area of private LTE/5G networks. With our know-how, we were able to support LSU Schäberle in obtaining their own 5G license within a very short time. telent coordinated the entire process of frequency application to the BNetzA and now supports LSU Schäberle's other 5G plans,” says Jürgen Kugel, Senior Account Manager at telent.
