Canoga Perkins, a global leader in Private 5G network connectivity solutions, has opened its first international Private 5G Customer Experience Center at BLOQUE in Querétaro, Mexico.
This milestone marks an important step in the company’ s global expansion and highlights its commitment to enabling deterministic networking for advanced industrial and enterprise applications.
The announcement was made during the Experiencing SyncMetra event, where Canoga Perkins showcased its SyncMetra 100 product and a full end-to-end Private 5G solution. The event brought together government officials, city representatives, industry leaders, technology partners, system integrators, resellers and customers to experience next-generation connectivity in action.
As Querétaro continues to position itself as a global hub for advanced manufacturing, industrial automation, smart agriculture and technology-driven port applications, demand for reliable, high-performance connectivity continues to grow.
SyncMetra 100 and the SyncMetra Platform address this need by delivering deterministic networking with guaranteed performance for mission-critical operations. The platform provides a softwaredefined, IT-operated 5G network transport solution designed to meet ultra-low-latency requirements.
Unlike traditional wireless technologies, SyncMetra is purposebuilt to support Time Sensitive Networking. This enables enterprises to deploy mission-critical applications such as robotic control, enterprise AI, augmented and virtual reality and industrial automation without latency or instability.
During the event, Canoga Perkins demonstrated an industrial robotic arm operating seamlessly over an ultra-low-latency Private 5G network powered by SyncMetra.
“ Bringing SyncMetra to Mexico is a major milestone,” said Malik Arshad, President of Canoga Perkins.“ It demonstrates that deterministic Private 5G and 5G TSN are deployment-ready today for industry worldwide.”
