Positioning – identification – navigation – communication

L.I.N.K

In the »L.I.N.K. Test and Application Center« at its Nuremberg location, Fraunhofer IIS provides a realistic and application-oriented environment for developing, demonstrating and evaluating pioneering technologies and applications in the fields of positioning, identification, navigation and communication.

A unique blend of practical experience and research

 

In addition to a one-of-a-kind testing infrastructure, we offer our customers and partners the scientific expertise and practical experience of our engineers, computer scientists and management experts. To determine the best system for your specific application, we offer you a comprehensive technology appraisal – evaluating the appropriate technology, using it as the basis for services and processes and then rolling these out at your company. Through all this, the Test and Application Center L.I.N.K. is your gateway to a unique test environment: Under realistic conditions, you can test and evaluate cyber-physical systems, technology-based processes, Industrie 4.0 applications and much more, all without having to interfere with your own existing processes.

 

 

Reference and positioning systems / measurement equipment

Thanks to the various positioning systems already installed in the center, specific applications can be displayed and analyzed in various ways at one location. In addition to those systems, Fraunhofer IIS has a pool of volunteers to facilitate measurements of realistic and highly dynamic application situations.

To determine the technological approach that’s right for your company, you can make use of the center’s almost 1400 m² interior (44 m x 33 m x 9 m) and 10,000 m² of space outside and the following equipment:
