  • Scalance MUM856-1 connects local industrial applications to public #5g, 4G, and 3G mobile wireless networks
  • Router supports future-oriented applications such as remote access via public #5g networks or the connection of mobile devices such as automated guided vehicles in industry
  • Robust version in IP65 housing for use outside the control cabinet
  • Prototypes of #siemens #5g infrastructure for private networks already in use at several sites

The Scalance MUM856-1 – the first industrial #5g router from #siemens – is available now. The device connects local industrial applications to public #5g, 4G (LTE), and 3G (UMTS) mobile wireless networks. The router can be used to remotely monitor and service plants, machines, control elements, and other industrial devices via a public #5g network – flexibly and with high data rates. Demand for this type of solution is growing in industry. In addition, the device can be integrated into private #5g networks. The Scalance MUM856-1 therefore supports future-oriented applications such as mobile robots in manufacturing, autonomous vehicles in logistics or augmented reality applications for service technicians. Thanks to a robust IP65 housing, the router can also be used outside the control cabinet, for example under harsh conditions in production or in outdoor facilities in the water industry. 

To ensure the powerful connection of Ethernet-based subnetworks and automation devices, the Scalance MUM856-1 supports Release 15 of the #5g standard. The device offers high bandwidths of up to 1000 Mbps for the downlink and up to 500 Mbps for the uplink – providing high datarates for data-intensive applications such as the remote implementation of firmware updates. Thanks to IPv6 support, the devices can also be implemented in modern communication networks. Various security functions are included in order to monitor data traffic and protect against unauthorized access: for example, an integrated firewall as well as authentication of communication devices and encryption of data transmission via VPN. If there is no available #5g network, the device switches automatically to 4G or 3G networks. The first release version of the router has an EU radio license; other versions with different licenses are in preparation. With the Sinema Remote Connect management platform for VPN connections, users can access remote plants or machines easily and securely – even if they are integrated in other networks. The software also offers easy management and autoconfiguration of the devices. 

Successful use of prototypes for private #5g networksBesides connectivity to public networks, Scalance MUM856-1 also supports integration into private local #5g campus networks. #siemens is testing this use case in their own Automotive Showroom and #test Center in a prototype of a standalone #5g #test network, which is based on #siemens components. The #5g infrastructure used here comprises a #5g core, a distributed unit, and several radio units. #siemens has also built another prototype of a private #5g infrastructure in its plant in Amberg, and their Karlsruhe plant will be equipped soon. In these systems, #siemens is relying exclusively on its own independently developed products and solutions. In addition, #siemens is currently implementing private network #technology for a #5g campus network with a focus on industrial use in one of the Deutsche Messe AG exhibition halls in Hanover. This private #5g network will be ready for use in early September. The network can be used by exhibitors during trade shows and, outside of trade show times, can be used by companies for tests and field trials.
