Labs and Testbeds

In order to cope with the growing number of certification procedures for IT security products, in 2010 the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) entrusted Fraunhofer FOKUS with the task of overseeing the evaluation facilities (ITSEFs) in CC evaluation procedures.

The SIRIOS Lab offers collaborative solutions for public safety devised from the perspective of the citizens concerned. As a demonstration room and research laboratory, it provides experts, decision-makers and politicians with an independent framework to shed light on the interaction of new technologies as well as on the legal, organizational, social-scientific, and economic challenges on their way to being addressed in practical terms.

The TV Lab offers an extensive, manufacturer- and provider-neutral test and development environment for the latest hybrid TV technologies, TV devices, media formats, interactive content and multi-screen applications.

In future, cities will change enormously due to a growing population, more traffic, increasing pollution, and other challenges. In various projects across our business units, the Smart Cities Lab is working on solutions to improve the future citizen's daily life.

At the Fraunhofer FOKUS eGovernment Lab, we have been working with more than 60 partners from administration, business and research in a neutral environment since 2004 to drive forward the digitalisation of public administration.

The FAME 5G Media Testbed (F5GMT) enables the development, testing, evaluation and demonstrations of Media Applications and Services operated within a 5G and in the future in 6G environments.

Our vision is to provide you with a tailored solution for your 5G related research, development or operation.

The 5G+ Nomadic Node consists of robust, transportable server rack containers with the hardware and software needed to set up a 5G campus network in just a few minutes. The software-based core network Open5GCore guarantees a highly flexible network in “standalone” operation tailored to the application.

Innovative visualization technologies and opportunities for interaction are tested at the Computer Graphics and Visualization Lab, host of multiple projection screens (dome, curved screen) and multiple advanced projectors.

The IPv6 Test Lab bundles Fraunhofer FOKUS’ competencies in the area of IPv6 testing and offers a wide range of services to potential partners.
