5G Testbed Denmark: Validate 5G Solutions

Validate your 5G solution in a real private network and get the independent proof your customers and procurement teams require.

Companies developing 5G-enabled solutions face a critical question before scaling: does the solution actually perform in a live 5G network? Lab testing cannot replicate real 5G SA conditions. Without independent evidence from a real network, product launches carry hidden risk and procurement decisions are harder to defend.

Real network. Independent report. Customer-ready proof

Our 5G testbed at Odense Harbour is a private Stand Alone network supporting 3GPP Release 16 and 17, with indoor, on-shore and near-shore coverage in a real port environment. Test and validate your solution before your customer asks - and get a structured FORCE Technology report your customers, procurement teams and partners will trust.

Target group and benefits

Support product, R&D and sales teams with real-network validation that turns 5G performance into customer-ready evidence.

Make validation work beyond the test team

The facility serves product managers, R&D teams and commercial teams developing 5G-enabled solutions that must perform reliably in industrial or mission-critical settings. Results help teams determine whether a product is ready for launch, where firmware or hardware changes are needed, and whether a solution meets specific customer requirements. For commercial teams, the independent report provides credible third-party evidence when customers or regulated buyers ask for proof - documented by FORCE Technology as an independent GTS institute.

Use cases

Validate your 5G solutions and generate independent evidence.

Product validation before market launch

Test drones, autonomous vehicles, IoT devices or industrial systems in a private 5G SA network before customer deployment. The facility helps teams identify performance, latency, coverage or compatibility issues early, so product decisions are based on measured results rather than assumptions.

A trusted report that closes procurement and sales

A "Tested by Force Technology" report is signed by an independent GTS institute. Hospitals, defence organisations, port authorities and industrial buyers recognise it as objective third-party evidence - giving your sales team credible proof, and procurement a basis to move forward.

A real harbour environment for advanced use cases

The testbed sits inside a working harbour. That means you test against real conditions - real ships, real cranes, real environmental factors - not just a bench setup. The environment is built for solutions that need to perform in complex, real-world settings where operational interference matters.

Coverage measurement when the network is in dispute

Get objective, third-party data when coverage performance at a specific location is in dispute - between you and an operator, or within a procurement process. Independent field measurements at predefined points deliver results neither party can challenge on grounds of bias.

Facility specifications

Test 5G performance in a private network built for real-world validation and documented proof.

5G Stand Alone private network

The facility is built as a private 5G Stand Alone network supplied by Nokia. This enables testing in a dedicated environment designed for industrial validation rather than public-network assumptions.

Frequency band n77

The network uses frequency band n77 with a default UL/DL pattern of 8:2, supporting realistic validation of use cases where uplink and downlink performance matter for product behaviour.

Measured performance

Measured performance with Nokia industrial user equipment is up to 400 Mb/s downlink and 100 Mb/s uplink, with minimum latency measured at 10 ms under the specified test setup.

Release 16 and 17 support

The network supports 3GPP Release 16 and 17 features, including RedCap support, allowing customers to test solutions against modern 5G capabilities.

Facility setup

Configure network access, operating conditions and test locations to match customer use cases and produce relevant validation evidence.

Isolated or internet-connected testing

The testbed can run in isolated mode or be connected to the internet, allowing the setup to reflect whether the customer solution needs a closed validation environment or external connectivity.

Customer-specific software

Customer-specific software can be installed when required, enabling testing of application behaviour closer to the intended operational setup.

Indoor, on-shore and near-shore scenarios

Tests can be placed in indoor spaces, on-shore areas or near-shore harbour surroundings, so the validation environment reflects the intended application area.

Edge-of-coverage and limited-resource tests

The setup can support tests at the edge of coverage or under constrained network resources, helping teams understand how the product behaves outside ideal conditions.

Climate chamber validation

When environmental conditions are relevant, product validation can be combined with Force Technology’s climate chamber to test performance across temperatures from -60 °C to +60 °C.

User equipment and SIM setup

Testing can use Nokia industrial 5G handheld user equipment and physical SIM cards, with the option to upgrade to eSIM where this is relevant for the customer setup.
