The OnGo Alliance today announced Ericsson as the winner of the OnGo award for ‘Excellence in OnGo Industrial IoT Deployment.’
The first annual OnGo Awards highlights the market impact of shared spectrum in the 3.5 GHz CBRS band. Ericsson said in an announcement that it had been selected based on its accomplishments deploying OnGo-based 4G private networks for six use cases at the Ericsson USA 5G smart factory in Lewisville, Texas.
“Putting Ericsson’s Industry Connect solution on OnGo shared spectrum has led our 5G smart factory operations to become even more efficient, reliable, environmentally friendly and cutting-edge,” said Erik Simonsson, head of the Ericsson USA 5G smart factory in a written statement. “The factory is not only a manufacturing site but also a place of innovation where we are working to expand our OnGo shared spectrum use cases. These use cases show the power of wireless solutions to digitally transform factories and industries for the better.”
The six use cases include energy monitoring and management, drones for inspection rounds and surveillance, environmental monitoring, alerting and escalation through wearable devices, machine-learning-based visual inspection, and digital material tracking and visualization.
