With the security lab, BSI has a test environment typical for telecommunications operators with several radio cells in its own campus network. The basic system includes components for a cloud-native 5G core network as well as technology covering both 5G and 4G functions. Extensions to the lab including Open RAN technology as well as temporary test sites are currently being implemented. In the future, the BSI will use products from various manufacturers for this purpose.
In this regard, Claudia Plattner says: “A central topic for the BSI is cyber security in mobile infrastructures. With the first construction stage of the 5G/6G Security Lab at the BSI in Freital, we have reached an important milestone. I would like to thank the colleagues in Freital for their great commitment to upgrading the Lab.”

The BSI has helped numerous projects get off the ground in 5G/6G security with a funding guideline. These range from 5G test centers to larger research consortia to startups. These projects, as well as security researchers, are now invited to validate their results with the help of the 5G/6G Security Lab.
