CommScope deploys its integrated CBRS network
solution with Microsoft Azure private MEC to create agile factories
and transform workforce efficiency
CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM) announced today that it has
collaborated with Microsoft to create a converged private wireless
network solution, enabling new low-latency and mobile applications
to transform industrial manufacturing.
CommScope successfully deployed the combined solution—using
Microsoft Azure private MEC and CommScope CBRS access points—in its
own manufacturing innovation center in Shakopee, Minnesota. Through
this cloud-connected, low-latency private wireless network,
CommScope is already improving both the operational efficiency and
manufacturing agility of its facilities.
This solution brings augmented reality applications and
cloud-based manufacturing tools to factory engineers. This includes
immersive technology training, aggregated assembly line data, and
real-time remote assistance to improve production ramp times and
worker capabilities. CommScope also leverages its low-latency
wireless network to mobilize testing equipment across the
production line. As an example, specialized microscopes are now
mobilized so fiber optic quality testing can be done anywhere in
real time as opposed to pulling product off the line.
“CommScope is excited to work with Microsoft to enable the next
generation of private wireless networks,” said Upendra Pingle, SVP
Intelligent Cellular Networks, CommScope. “We have deployed
Microsoft’s private MEC platform in combination with CBRS access
points in our own manufacturing innovation center to improve
operational efficiencies. Together, we are showcasing the
immediate, real-world advantages of private networking in
industrial manufacturing, as our combined solution paves the way
for the evolution of private wireless networks and
manufacturing.”
“We see a tremendous opportunity to transform workforce
efficiency by making it easy to deploy and develop private wireless
that can underpin agile factories,” said Shriraj Gaglani, GM for
Azure for Operators at Microsoft. “We collaborated with CommScope
to implement use cases that increase worker and production line
efficiency, and to help incubate and inspire industry 4.0
transformations.”
