Private 5G Campus Sensor Network Kit – Deploy a Real 5G Core with Raspberry Pi 5 and DHT22 Environmental Monitoring

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Step into the future of campus connectivity by building your own private 5G network. This kit turns a Raspberry Pi 5 into a fully functional 5G core running Open5GS, with five ESP32 nodes acting as 5G user equipment (UE) to report temperature and humidity from DHT22 sensors. You’ll gain hands‑on expertise in the architecture that powers smart campuses, industrial IoT, and next‑gen research networks — exactly what leading telecom labs and hackathon teams are working on today.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a private 5G standalone network that spans a lab, campus block, or maker space. The Raspberry Pi 5 hosts the entire 5G core (AMF, SMF, UPF, etc.) while each ESP32 board attaches as a 5G UE via a dedicated module and streams DHT22 sensor readings over the air. The result is a live sensor network where you can monitor environmental data on any device connected to your private 5G network — a working demo of 5G‑enabled IoT.

What You'll Learn

• Deploy and configure a complete Open5GS 5G core on Raspberry Pi 5 with a real NVMe SSD for high‑speed data handling
• Register ESP32 boards as 5G UEs and establish a private standalone network using unlicensed spectrum for educational use
• Integrate DHT22 sensors into each node and transmit structured sensor data over the 5G user plane
• Diagnose and optimize 5G network attachment, QoS flows, and data session continuity in a campus‑scale IoT testbed
