Manufacturing

5G Private networks can streamline the manufacturing process by providing a secure and reliable network that can power industrial robots, autonomous guided vehicles (AGV), scanners, AR/VR, and remote devices enhancing closed-loop manufacturing. These applications require a network that offers ultra reliable low latency communications (URLLC) that is not susceptible to interference.

Why JMA for Manufacturing

A JMA private wireless network is an ideal solution for smart manufacturing and edge applications that require ultra reliable low latency connectivity. Even JMA’s 5G factory in Syracuse runs on a JMA private wireless network and automates the robotics and manufacturing of U.S. produced 5G technology for the telecommunications industry.

Inside Smart Warehouses

Explore how Deloitte and JMA partnered to deliver a smart warehouse by implementing a multi-service private network. A warehouse management system (WMS) requires a network that is always available and offers low latency so that autonomous mobile robots (AMR) can exchange data without interruption to move around a warehouse safely. Fortunately, cellular PWN offers optimized machine-to-machine communication with ultra-reliable-low-latency communication and location precision. Weighted bins connected to WMS over the PWN enable accurate and timely inventory control. Similarly, other devices like scanners, cameras, tablets, and wearables spread around the warehouse can be supported without any performance degradation.

Provide a speedy User Experience

Higher throughput with over 1Gbps, leveraging five-channel carrier aggregation, with 4x4 MIMO. And that’s on CBRS.

icon

Lower CAPEX and OPEX

5000+ concurrent UE connections per cell, less HW and more users- now that’s and impressive number.

icon

Less number of Radios/Venue

Flexibility to use any fragmented channel in the entire 150 MHz CBRS spectrum with the same radio, reducing access point deployment.

icon

Lower Deployment & Management Cost

Shared spectrum support for 4G/5G on day one with multi-operator RAN-sharing and spectrum slicing. Define the use cases you need and slice away.

icon

Enhanced Application Reliability

Simulcast feature eliminates interference, delivering robust application performance for fault tolerant applications.

icon

Upgrade without a rip and replace

Same System, SW upgrade to 3GPP 5G future releases and add capacity with the touch of a button.

icon

Faster access to innovative applications

Faster upgrade cycle with little additional cost​ and accessibility to new features.

icon

Greater ROI Protection

Leverage the same infrastructure (antennas, connectors, power, fiber), saving ~50% plus 10+ years of product support.

Case Study: Next-Gen Warehouse

In Industry 4.0, smart automation is considered the fundamental requirement for improving the productivity and efficiency of a business. However, smart automation requires seamless, reliable, secure, and in specific cases instantaneous connectivity. There are different methods for delivering such connectivity, but it must also make commercial and practical sense for a business to deploy such a network. Fiber or ethernet connectivity can provide speed, reliability, and capacity. Still, it is not cost-efficient, flexible, and practical for an environment where we have mobile robots and other such applications which don’t always allow for a tethered connection.

Wireless networks enable workflows, and assure control, mobile access and security

With today’s global economy the industrial sector is becoming more competitive. It is ushering in new technologies and processes to ensure factories become more agile, productive, efficient and profitable. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) revolution is fundamentally changing how factories operate. IIOT is still in the nascent stages of adoption and considered the new frontier in manufacturing, but it could amount to a $2 trillion opportunity by 2020.1 Potentially the IIOT will impact everything from new product opportunities, to factory optimization and worker efficiency gains, resulting in top and bottom line increases. Consistent and reliable wireless communications is critical for factories in general, and now more than ever with IIoT-based smart manufacturing environments.

Governor Hochul Marks Completion on First Phase of JMA Wireless’ $100 Million 5G Manufacturing Campus and New Global Headquarters in Syracuse

Governor Kathy Hochul today visited 5G-wireless technology leader JMA Wireless to help officially open its new headquarters in Central New York. JMA relocated its operations to Syracuse's southeast gateway adjacent to the city center on Cortland Avenue. The global innovator of software-based 5G technology will invest $100 million in this multi-phase project. The sprawling campus, spanning a city block, currently houses JMA's headquarters and factory of the future. JMA manufactures its most advanced 5G equipment at the site, including radios, embedded antennas, and millimeter wave products.
