COVERING FOUR AIRCRAFT HANGERS

Vodafone and Lufthansa Technik test VR and AR technologies to work on aircraft interiors over a 5G network.

Changing the face of aircraft maintenance

Vodafone Germany and Lufthansa Technik launched a completely self-sufficient 5G campus network in Hamburg, as part of a pilot project to allow workers to test high-resolution virtual and augmented reality technologies to work on aircraft interiors. In doing so, this helps enable increased accuracy and efficiency without increasing costs. In future, such technologies could be rolled out to other areas of Lufthansa Technik, such as in aircraft maintenance.

Based in an

square-meter aircraft hangar, capable of housing

giant aircraft simultaneously, the network has bandwidths of more than

per second and latency times of less than ten milliseconds.

The 5G network allows data to flow virtually without delay by processing it directly on-site. This improves security, while allowing Lufthansa Technik to tailor the network to changing requirements, without worrying about connectivity dropping off during critical work.
