5G for the Greenhouse Horticulture: considerations for network architecture, cloud federation, radio network coverage and energy consumption
report
The Do IoT voor de Glastuinbouw project is a collaboration between leading field labs in South Holland: the DoIoT Fieldlab with partners TUDelft TNO and MCS, the RoboValley Foundation, and the Tomatoworld Foundation. The project aims to accelerate digital innovation in the horticultural sector by enabling companies to develop, test, and demonstrate advanced sensor systems, robotics, and autonomous vehicles that rely on high-quality mobile data connections, particularly 5G. Reliable, high-capacity, and secure wireless communication is key for this transformation. To link the work to real impact for the greenhouse sector, TNO envisioned a greenhouse that could be exported but still be managed from the grower in the Netherlands. That way the greenhouse could be managed at the location where the produce is meant to be sold. Therefore, TNO focused on 4 areas of research to explore the options for network architecture, cloud federation, network coverage as well as investigate the impact of energy consumption.
