Crossing Frontiers: Fibocom and Intedigo Team Up for 5G Teleoperation

In a recent presentation at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2026, held from July 17 to 20, Fibocom and Intedigo showcased a pioneering demonstration of teleoperation technology utilizing 5G bidirectional data transmission. This event took place at Booth H3-C408, where attendees were invited to engage with a real race car located in Jiading, Shanghai. Participants could enter a remote cockpit to control the vehicle, managing its steering, acceleration, and braking in real time, thus experiencing the remarkable capabilities of 5G connectivity in remote operations.

The demonstration went beyond mere entertainment; it served as a practical validation of how 5G technology enables seamless communication between a remote operator and a high-performance vehicle. The race car transmitted live video feeds, operational data, and real-time status updates while receiving control commands, thus forming a closed-loop teleoperation system. This level of connectivity is crucial for executing dynamic maneuvers, including high-speed cornering and precision braking, while maintaining low latency and reliable communication.

The Technology Behind the Experience

Developed by Intedigo, the remote driving system recently showcased is capable of supporting high-definition video transmission at 1080p and 60Hz. Impressively, the glass-to-glass video latency was below 80 ms, and control latency came in under 10 ms. These specifications become significantly more critical in the demanding environment of motorsports, where any delay could hinder performance and safety. Such responsiveness can be directly assessed and measured during the race, making it a unique and immersive experience.

At the heart of this technological marvel is Fibocom’s FM160 5G data transmission module, which was used to provide the necessary cellular connectivity. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon™ X62 5G Modem-RF System, the FM160 module supports both Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) network architectures, conforming to the latest 3GPP Release 16. The system boasts impressive bandwidth capabilities, enabling peak download speeds of up to 3.5 Gbps in NSA mode and 2.5 Gbps in SA mode. On the upload side, peak speeds can reach up to 900 Mbps, thus facilitating real-time communication crucial for high-speed scenarios.

Implications for the Future of AI and Teleoperation

As industries begin to integrate embodied AI systems into their operations, the requirements for reliable connectivity intensify. Robotics, whether in factories, logistics, or autonomous vehicles, now often necessitate a
