Descripción

IKERLAN’s reference laboratory for the design, emulation, and validation of advanced industrial connectivity solutions, including private 5G networks, IoT connectivity, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, time-sensitive networking (TSN), and satellite links.

The laboratory enables any real-world connectivity scenario to be recreated and measured under fully controlled conditions, from factory environments to mobility and railway applications, ensuring that solutions perform as expected before deployment in production.

It features IKERLAN’s proprietary I-WCVP (Industrial Wireless Communication Validation Platform), which orchestrates all laboratory components from a single point. The platform includes connectivity to a live commercial operator network (Telefónica) and an active role in European projects under SNS JU and Horizon Europe (IPCEI-CIS).
