Project details

Short description

The research project 5G Connected Sport started back in September 2019 and was funded by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. The Institute for Electronics Engineering (LTE) represents FAU in the consortium alongside partners Adidas, Megatec and UKR.

5G Connected Sport has the mission to create a phoneless experience for athletes through smart wearable products using LPWAN (NB-IoT & LTE-M) mobile technologies.  Our target is to provide emergency, sports performance tracking and injury prevention solutions for athletes without using an additional smartphone.

As part of the project, the Institute for Electronics Engineering (LTE) researched the cellular IoT standards NB-IoT & LTE-M with respect to energy efficiency. Energy-saving features were gradually implemented in prototypes to make the energy consumption of a smart jacket and smart shoe more efficient.
