4G SUCCESSOR ON THE WAY It’s been six years since the first LTE network (4G) was launched in Germany, marking a new milestone in mobile communications tech- nology. Although we are still far from exhausting all of the possibilities which 4G LTE can offer even now, there are already plans in the pipeline for its successor. “5G”, as it will be known in short, is expected to blow everything that has gone before it out of the water and, for example, offer data transfer speeds several times faster than the current LTE networks and be able to cope with a greater number of users per cell. In addition, users will only experience minimal latency, enabling lightning-speed responses whilst on the network and requiring less energy in doing so. A key figure involved with the development of the successor to 4G is Chinese telecommunications company Huawei. 500,000TH FORKLIFT TRUCK ROLLS OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE IN HAMBURG A particularly notable chapter of history was written in Hamburg on 27 January 2016 as the 500,000th counterbalanced forklift truck from STILL GmbH rolled off the production line, marking yet another milestone on the road to success for the specialists in intralogistics based in northern Germany. Thomas A. Fischer, Managing Director of STILL GmbH, personally delivered this special anniversary forklift on-site to Chemion Logistik GmbH in Leverkusen, Germany, a company with which STILL has enjoyed a partnership spanning almost 40 years. 770 forklift trucks under the STILL brand already form part of Germany’s largest fleet of explosion-proof forklifts, but the anniversary truck, a STILL RX 60-25 electric forklift truck, is a different creation altogether. “We are looking forward to making history together with STILL and continuing to build on our already invaluable partnership,” says Frank Orth, Head of Logistics Services at Chemion Logistik GmbH. “With partners such as STILL, we are able to competently and reliably meet the high standards which our customers demand from us.” LATEST NEWS 07
