Following Antwerp and Liège, Orange Belgium opened its third 5G Lab in Brussels on 23 September. Designed to discover and test the potential of 5G, the Lab also enables the co-development of concrete solutions, seven of which are currently being demonstrated in the heart of the Belgian capital.

Among the use cases being tested in the Brussels laboratory are:

1. Public safety:

• Innovative and reliable end-to-end communication solutions for critical environments and situations (e.g. : Flash (opens in a new window)).
• Video surveillance systems using 5G and AI to detect and respond in real time to incidents such as fly-tipping or vandalism (e.g. : Phoenix AI (opens in a new window)).
• Incident detection systems based solely on sound recognition, enabling immediate intervention (e.g. : ASAsense (opens in a new window)).

2. Smart cities:

• Solutions combining IoT and AI to detect water leaks, enabling rapid intervention (e.g. : Shayp (opens in a new window)).
• Smart street lighting with lampposts equipped with sensors, cameras and charging stations for electric vehicles (e.g. : Schréder (opens in a new window)).

3. Healthcare:

• Real-time translation of video calls to facilitate communication between patients and carers who speak different languages (e.g. : Trulinco (opens in a new window)).
• Ascom’s Myco smartphone, equipped with specific features for hospital staff who need reliable connectivity for emergencies: push-to-talk, alarm, barcode reader, etc. (e.g. : Ascom (opens in a new window))
• Remote video assistance and monitoring of patients hospitalised at home, particularly for procedures such as kidney dialysis.

This new Orange 5G Lab illustrates Orange’s commitment to accelerating local digital transformation and making its centres drivers of innovation for a more connected, secure and sustainable society.
