マグナ・ワイヤレスがTSN対応のローカル5Gデバイスを発表

Magna Wireless has developed and launched a new local 5G device called AU-700W, built around its own baseband semiconductor. The development came out of joint research with the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Institute under a program that supports 5G, IoT, and robotics product development.

The device focuses on something industrial networks struggle with. Stable and predictable latency. The AU-700W supports Time Sensitive Networking and enables what the company calls jitterless communication. In practical terms, communication delay fluctuations stay under 1 microsecond, which allows deterministic wireless communication. That level of timing control is important in industrial environments where machines, robots, and control systems have to respond in real time.

During the joint research, the teams used the institute’s 5G testing environment to examine issues such as delay variation and time synchronization that exist in conventional 5G setups. The final design reduces those fluctuations and improves timing accuracy. Magna Wireless also integrated its own baseband semiconductor, which helped shrink the device size while lowering power consumption.

The technology opens up several industrial use cases that are difficult with current wireless networks. These include wireless programmable logic controllers to reduce factory wiring, real time cooperative control between robots, ultra-low latency integration with edge AI systems, and remote real time control of drones. Magna Wireless plans to sell around 100 units of the AU-700 series annually as it expands adoption in industrial sites.
