2020: Representation of the Scalance MUM856-1 router

"Siemens" provided industrial router 5G – Scalance MUM856-1 – for connection of the local industrial systems to public 5G networks which will be available in the spring of 2021. As reported TAdviser on December 4, 2020 in Siemens, using this solution it is possible to be connected to local production and its devices in the remote mode through public 5G networks, receiving at the same time high transmission rate data. The software platform of management of Sinema Remote Connect allows to manage protected VPN- tunnels and to perform the simple, protected connection to production and industrial equipment even if they are in other network.

Siemens provided the first industrial router for connection to a public 5G networks

Demand for remote access to production grows in the industry that assumes data transmission on long distances. For this purpose public mobile networks which play an important role in remote control and access can be used. For example, they can be used for providing a communication channel to users with high bandwidth in the urban environment with small cells and high-frequency range. In rural areas of cell have the bigger covering is considerable, at the same time less high-frequency range is used. In particular, on borders of cells, for example for LTE or UMTS, often there is a considerable decrease in bandwidth and stability of connection. In these remote areas reliable capacity of transmission for remote service or video transmission, for example for water stations is required.

Use of the standard of communication of a 5G considerably increases bandwidth and provides big reliability of connection on borders of cells and also the high speed of data transmission of users in cells. The Scalance MUM856-1 router also supports standard 4G therefore communication is not interrupted even at unavailability of 5G network. Devices I can be integrated into private 5G networks of the specific enterprises.

As of December, 2020 Siemens tests in own center of testing of automation systems in the closed, private 5G network built on the equipment where the automated vehicles (AGV) are connected in network using standard 5G. It promotes improvement and development of solutions for remote access and expands use of standard 5G in the industry.
