Ericsson has joined forces with Schiphol Airport, the third busiest in the world by international passenger traffic, to explore the potential applications of a state-of-the-art private 5G network. This collaboration is aimed at propelling Schiphol’s digital transformation, equipping the airport with a future-ready, robust digital infrastructure to support next-generation services.
What sets Schiphol apart from many other airports is its acquisition of a dedicated spectrum for the private 5G network, granted by the Dutch regulator. This gives the airport full autonomy over its communications infrastructure, allowing it to optimise network performance, improve reliability, and uphold the highest security standards. By deploying a private 5G network, Schiphol reduces its reliance on public or shared networks, enabling the implementation of advanced, tailored solutions.
Schiphol has already activated Ericsson’s Private 5G network, aiming to meet increasing demands for high-speed, low-latency connectivity to secure its operations for the future. Together, the two companies will explore innovative 5G applications such as IoT-driven monitoring, real-time safety systems, and predictive maintenance. The private network provides the flexibility Schiphol needs to enhance customer experiences, improve safety and security, and further its digital transformation.
Ericsson Private 5G is the company’s latest solution for secure, reliable 4G and 5G connectivity, featuring a dual-mode core server that delivers advanced operations with rapid deployment. Designed for mission-critical connectivity, it ensures sensitive data remains securely on-site while supporting a wide range of use cases and industries.
“We are proud to partner with Schiphol on this pioneering project that will address the overall aging infrastructure of airports throughout the world By leveraging Ericsson Private 5G, Schiphol is setting the stage for innovative solutions that will help them explore the full potential of 5G and the benefits it brings to airport operations,” said Manish Tiwari, Head of Private Cellular Networks, Enterprise Wireless Solutions at Ericsson.
