JOINT 5G PROJECT “SynergieRegion” FUNDED WITH 4 MILLION EUROS BY GERMAN GOVERNMENT
Berlin/Stuttgart/Constance, 11th December 2020
Together with eleven regional industry and research partners, Unisphere was selected to demonstrate future applications of 5G connectivity in urban areas including use cases for unmanned aviation.
Unisphere provides extensive expertise in flight operations planning and risk assessment to obtain approvals to demonstrate inspection and logistics use cases within the greater area of Stuttgart.

Without a doubt, the combination of urban air mobility and 5G connectivity will enable a wide range of innovative applications. At Unisphere, we are very excited to experience first-hand the combination of these two technologies. With our operational experience, we will provide the risk analysis and support the approval process to fly drones using 5G connectivity.

The goal of the “SynergyRegion” is:
To jointly explore new 5G applications for smart cities and Industry 4.0 in locally confined test environments, such as the 5G testbed at the ARENA2036 research campus, in the Stuttgart region.

The “SynergieRegion” initiative supports the regional economy in developing and testing concrete 5G applications. This is because the application ideas explored in the project are drawn directly from the day-to-day operations of local companies… Federal funding now enables us to carry out our project and thereby strengthen the Stuttgart region as a hub for business and research in the long term.

The application scenarios we are developing – particularly in the areas of Smart City and Industry 4.0 – provide targeted support for the region’s business environment. In this way, we help companies based in Stuttgart and the surrounding region take the crucial steps needed to develop and test concrete 5G applications for modern production systems and urban environments.
