5G Campus Network

A 5G campus network is a local, private 5G network. At the moment it covers a part of the Saarland University’s campus in Saarbrücken for research and development use cases. It allows us to study the interaction of upper- and lower-layer protocols with a real-world setup and make empirical measurements. But in cooperation it can also be used as a tool in other research and development tasks.
