DOCOMO and Keio Prove Stable 5G Teleoperation on Commercial SA

DOCOMO and Keio Prove Stable 5G Teleoperation on Commercial SA

Hema Kadia February 25, 2026

NTT DOCOMO and Keio University have validated that commercial 5G Standalone (SA) can stably support haptic-grade robot teleoperation using network slicing and configured grant—turning years of URLLC theory into practical results. By pairing 3GPP-configured grant scheduling with a low-latency slice and Keio’s Real Haptics technology, DOCOMO showed that public 5G SA can carry force and tactile feedback with the determinism required for safe, precise manipulation. The KPIs demonstrate material improvements in latency stability, force fidelity, and motion smoothness—indicators that the control loop is resilient enough for practical tasks.

Cargill Scales Private 5G with NTT DATA

Cargill Scales Private 5G with NTT DATA

Hema Kadia February 25, 2026

NTT DATA’s private 5G rollout across 50 Cargill facilities signals that industrial connectivity is moving from pilot projects to standardized, multi-site execution. NTT DATA has deployed private 5G at Cargill manufacturing and processing locations worldwide—mostly in the United States with live sites in Europe—enabling a connected workforce, robotics, and edge AI across plants that are often too large and complex for conventional Wi‑Fi or wired networks to cover reliably. Manufacturers are consolidating on common digital platforms and need predictable, low-latency wireless for operational data, mobile human–machine interfaces, and autonomous systems; private 5G—built on 3GPP standards with SIM-based security and policy-based
