Driving Scalable, High-Speed Connectivity to Power Industrial Precision and Growth
Overview
Our client, a US-based global leader in industrial cutting solutions, operates across more than 65 countries. Their advanced technologies are integral to industries such as shipbuilding, aerospace and structural steel manufacturing, where precision cutting and shaping are critical to operational success.
The Challenge
The client’s existing technology infrastructure posed four key challenges:
- Limited indoor wireless coverage across expansive industrial environments
- High infrastructure costs for enabling high-speed data transfer
- Inconsistent quality in real-time video streaming from surveillance systems
- Unreliable mobility for end-user devices requiring continuous wireless connectivity
The Objective
The client partnered with HCLTech to evaluate the performance and reliability of Private 5G versus their existing Wi-Fi setup. The goal was to:
- Achieve seamless high-speed indoor coverage
- Enhance network reliability
- Improve operational efficiency
- Accelerate time-to-value through next-gen connectivity
The Solution
HCLTech delivered a comprehensive Private 5G Proof of Concept (PoC), leveraging best practices in network design and deployment. The PoC included:
- Testing enhanced wireless coverage to support seamless connectivity for Industry 4.0 devices
- Evaluating network reliability through uninterrupted device mobility and smooth handoffs between access points
- Demonstrating continuous and high-quality indoor connectivity across the campus
The Impact
The Private 5G PoC validated the feasibility and benefits of next-gen wireless deployment:
- Ultra-low latency enabled successful bulk upload/download of large industrial data files
- High-definition video streaming supported real-time surveillance with minimal lag
- Seamless coverage and mobility ensured uninterrupted connectivity with zero packet loss during device movement
