Schiphol Airport teams with Ericsson on private 5G network
Partnership is aimed at driving Schiphol’s digital transformation to a future-ready airport with robust digital infrastructure that supports next-gen services.
Schiphol Airport, the world’s third busiest airport by international passenger numbers, is collaborating with Ericsson to investigate the use cases of a private 5G network in pursuit of its Airport 4.0 ambitions.
The partnership is aimed at driving Schiphol’s digital transformation to a future-ready airport with robust digital infrastructure that supports next-generation services.
5G communications infrastructure
In a move that sets Schiphol apart from many other airports, it has secured its own dedicated spectrum for the private 5G network provided by the Dutch regulator. This gives the airport full control over its communications infrastructure, enabling it to optimise network performance, enhance reliability, and maintain the highest security standards.
Implementing a private 5G network will reduce Schiphol’s dependency on public or shared networks, allowing it to deploy advanced, customised solutions.
Schiphol has activated Ericsson Private 5G with the goal of meeting the growing demand for high-speed, low-latency connectivity, ensuring future-proof operations. The companies will work together to explore innovative applications of 5G technology, such as IoT-based monitoring, real-time safety systems, and predictive maintenance solutions.
