Colegio de Postgraduados Deploys Private 5G Network Powered by Canoga Perkins SyncMetra®

TEXCOCO, Mexico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Colegio de Postgraduados (COLPOS), a leading Mexican institution in agricultural and agri-food sciences, has deployed and commissioned a private 5G network powered by Canoga Perkins SyncMetra® technology. The deployment creates a high-performance communications foundation for precision agriculture, research, smart-campus applications and hands-on learning.

The private 5G infrastructure uses the Canoga Perkins SyncMetra® 100 transport platform to deliver secure, low-latency connectivity across academic, research, greenhouse and agricultural field environments. The network is designed to support connected sensors, environmental monitoring, video, real-time data applications and future autonomous equipment use cases.

For COLPOS, the deployment expands the digital infrastructure available to researchers and students as they develop and apply new approaches to sustainable agriculture. For the broader market, it provides a practical example of how private 5G can connect operational technology, data and people in environments where network performance, visibility and control matter.

Deployment highlights include:

• Secure private 5G connectivity for research, education and agricultural operations
• Low-latency communications for connected sensors, monitoring and real-time data applications
• Greater network visibility and control than reliance on public cellular services alone
• A scalable foundation for precision agriculture, autonomous systems and future digital-agriculture use cases
• Hands-on access to next-generation connectivity for students and researchers

“This private 5G deployment gives our researchers and students a platform to connect agricultural data, devices and applications in new ways,” said Dr. Mauricio Iván Andrade Luna, Interim Director General of Colegio de Postgraduados. “It strengthens our ability to advance research, improve operational visibility and give students hands-on experience with technologies that will help shape the future of agriculture.”

SyncMetra® is Canoga Perkins’ software-defined transport solution for private 5G and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). It is designed to simplify private 5G deployment and management while providing the deterministic, low-latency transport required by demanding industrial and enterprise applications.

“The COLPOS deployment shows private 5G moving from concept to real-world application,” said Malik Arshad, President of Canoga Perkins. “Agriculture brings together many of the challenges private 5G is built to address -- distributed devices, real-time data, mobility and the need for reliable performance. This deployment gives customers and partners a tangible model for what is possible with SyncMetra.”

The deployment adds to Canoga Perkins’ work in mission-critical networking and demonstrates how private 5G infrastructure can support digital transformation across agriculture, industrial automation and other data-intensive environments.
