Luleå University of Technology has in collaboration with Telia, Ericsson and TietoEVRY established test beds for 5G in Norrbotten and Västerbotten to give small and medium-sized companies opportunities to develop their products and services for 5G. Here they can test everything from drones and robots to agricultural machinery, as well as solutions for health. The test beds are available on the Luleå campus, at Särkkivaaragården in Övertorneå, at Kronandalen's nursing home in Luleå, at The Great Northern in Skellefteå and at Sjukstugan in Storuman.

The table below describes Luleå University of Technology's 5G test environments.  
On Luleå campus, there are base stations with coverage both outdoors and indoors in three of the university's buildings. The indoor coverage in each building is a separate cell. At The Great Northern there are two cells. In the 5G test environments on Luleå campus and The Great Northern, it is possible to do hand-over tests.

All 5G test beds use frequencies on the 3.5 GHz band. 

In Luleå, there is a joint Local break-out for the university's 5G test environments. The system is updated with new software versions approximately every three months and is at the forefront through the collaboration with Telia, Ericsson and TietoEVRY.

We offer companies the opportunity to test ideas, services and products in collaboration with researchers at Luleå University of Technology. The test beds are open to all industry players, both large and small, as well as to all operators, service providers, technology and product suppliers, universities, research institutes and public authorities. The test beds make it possible for different actors to collaborate with other stakeholders in the value chain and also reach end users.

We can help you with the practical testing, but also with getting in touch with stakeholders in need of solutions and gaining access to cutting-edge expertise via the university's research.
