Barcelona, February 20, 2025 – Vicinity and Nephelie are excited to announce their collaboration on HOLONET, a pioneering solution that integrates 5G connectivity and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) with next-generation wireless 3D volumetric video capture (VolCap). This innovative partnership will be showcased at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, where the companies will present the future of low-cost, real-time, high-fidelity 3D content creation.
HOLONET combines Vicinity’s advanced 5G and 5G TSN private network with Nephelie’s portable VolCap system, delivering unparalleled precision, scalability, and efficiency in volumetric video production. By leveraging 5G connectivity and TSN, the solution achieves ultra-low latency, high-speed data transfer, and seamless synchronization across distributed, mobile camera networks. This integration reduces deployment constraints, making it possible to utilize drones and cost-effective camera setups for a wide range of applications in film, VR/AR, gaming, digital marketing, and the metaverse.
Key innovations of HOLONET include ultra-precise multi-camera synchronization, enabling seamless volumetric capture across multiple camera setups. The system supports real-time 3D content creation with minimal latency, powered by Vicinity’s 5G base stations and terminals with TSN synchronization, ensuring flawless frame synchronization. HOLONET’s next-generation 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) rendering further enhances the system’s performance by reducing camera requirements while boosting realism and production efficiency.
Dr. Eric Tsang, CEO of Vicinity, stated, “By integrating 5G connectivity with TSN, HOLONET revolutionizes real-time 3D content creation in a more flexible and cost-effective environment. The precision, speed, and adaptability offered by our 5G TSN infrastructure will set a new standard for volumetric video applications.”
Dr. Vassilis Seferidis, CEO of Nephelie, added, “HOLONET is a game-changer for digital content creation, empowering content creators with a faster, more efficient, and mobile solution using the power of 5G and TSN.”
MWC 2025 attendees can experience Nephelie’s first generation of their wireless volumetric video capture solution with a live demo focusing on a virtual film production use case. Vicinity will also present its end-to-end 5G solutions at its booth (Hall 7, Stand 7A11), including advanced 5G base stations and 5G CPE with TSN functionality, offering secure, scalable, and customizable connectivity for a range of applications in smart cities, industrial automation, and mission-critical communications.
