EDZCOM, Cellnex France and MGA Technologies join forces to create the first Private 5G Network Lab dedicated to Industry 4.0

This media release/news item was published prior to our acquisition of the Cellnex Private Networks business including Edzcom in February 2024. Learn more about the acquisition here.

Cellnex France and EDZCOM, a Cellnex company specialist in enterprise Private Network solutions, have just announced a partnership with MGA Technologies. This partnership will allow the Lyon-based company, a specialist in designing and producing custom-made machine tooling for Biopharma and Industry 4.0, to building the first 5G Lab solely dedicated to the future industry. This lab will be operational in November and is now assessing potential industrial partners. 

Covering over 800 m2, and open to the entire MGA Technologies ecosystem, the collaborative industrial innovation platform will benefit from all EDZCOM’s expertise in the design and roll-out of 5G Private Network solutions. 

With the launch of the first Industry 4.0 and Biopharma 5G Lab in France, MGA Technologies aims to enhance the ecosystem to boost innovation and a fully secure testing environment. Furthermore, it will be accessible to all industrial partners in an application built from 4.0 technology categories. 

The partnership with EDZCOM and Cellnex France is a great opportunity to create a unique and collaborative innovation platform in the Industry 4.0 and Biopharma fields. EDZCOM’s expertise in Private Networks has been an essential asset behind the development of the first 5G Lab in France.

This 5G Lab allows the design and roll-out of new Industry 4.0 and Biopharma solutions. It is a great opportunity for EDZCOM to showcase all of its expertise in 5G Private Networks and to encourage other industries and manufacturers to roll out their labs to serve innovation in their ecosystems.

The idea behind this partnership arose from the need to provide customers and partners a global vision of the advantages of 5G in an industrial environment. The dual areas of expertise, connectivity and automation enables the Lab to offer continuous improvement in 5G use cases to the entire ecosystem and, ultimately, to facilitate and accelerate industrial innovation.
