Demo: 5G NR, Wi-Fi and LiFi multi-connectivity for Industry 4.0

The 5G-CLARITY project proposes a novel architecture for private 5G networks that converges Wi-Fi 6, 5G NR and LiFi under a common service platform for Industry 4.0. In this demonstration, we deploy the 5G-CLARITY system in a real factory setup and showcase its multi-connectivity framework, which allows to customize aggregation behavior for different devices. We demonstrate two different aggregation modes. First, a capacity aggregation mode that delivers between 200 Mbps and 600 Mbps to mobile devices throughout the factory floor. Second, a latency-sensitive aggregation mode that is used to replace Ethernet connectivity for a production line achieving endto-end delays below 10 ms
