Abstract
This article explores the viability of ULTRA-FAB5G, a paradigm-shifting 5G use case that aims to replace traditional wired infrastructure and dedicated devices with a wireless, private 5G edge in an industrial environment. Using the IMAGINE-B5G Portuguese experimental facility, an early proof-of-concept demonstrates the capabilities of the technology, highlighting positive results in latency, jitter, and bandwidth, as well as evaluating the inter-slice latency gap at the application level. The study will progress to integrating the proof-of-concept with real industrial equipment, paving the way for a forthcoming industrial deployment. With promising results, this research showcases the potential for improved industrial landscapes using 5G and beyond technologies and provides valuable information on the evolution roadmap of 5G technologies.
