    • Freshwave installs a portable 5G network at the National Robotarium in Edinburgh for robotics and agri-tech research.
    • The move demonstrates 5G’s potential in transforming agricultural productivity and sustainability.

    What happened: Private 5G robotics network launched in Scotland

    Freshwave, a UK-based tower company, has set up a portable private 5G network at the National Robotarium in Edinburgh, Scotland. This network supports research for commercial robotics solutions for Industry 4.0, with a focus on developing solutions for agriculture. The first project between Freshwave and the Robotarium aims to create a robot solution for an agri-tech client to enhance farming productivity.

    The private 5G network allows real-time data collection from a Boston Dynamics ‘Spot’ robot. The robot will map and assess agricultural environments, providing valuable data to improve farming efficiency and sustainability. The network’s portability makes it easy to relocate for seasonal or shifting agricultural needs, offering a flexible alternative to fixed infrastructure.

    Why it’s important

    The use of 5G in agriculture has the potential to transform farming, just as tractors did many years ago. This project highlights how robotics can help create an intelligent, co-bot workforce. Robots will handle tasks like weed removal, nutrient analysis, and pesticide application. This technology could greatly improve both productivity and sustainability in the agricultural sector.

    Additionally, the project demonstrates how private 5G networks can meet the specific needs of remote or rural areas, a major challenge for agritech. As the UK agritech market grows, the collaboration between Freshwave and the National Robotarium is a significant step in combining cutting-edge robotics with advanced connectivity. This partnership sets the stage for future breakthroughs in the sector.
