Brussels Airport is building its own private 5G network
For the development of a private 5G network, Brussels Airport Company has entered into a strategic partnership with the Finnish company Nokia and the Belgian operator Citymesh. In the first phase, the 5G network will only operate on the outside terrain. Later on, it will also be installed inside. In the first instance, the higher capacity of a 5G network will optimise the use of automated vehicles, mobile security systems and track & trace technology. The airport will also be able to deploy additional technologies, like the IoT (Internet of Things). The company has stated that it must drastically increase the reliability of its systems.
