Roularta Media Group (RMG) has partnered with NTT DATA to deploy a Private 5G network at its 40,000-square-meter (430,000-square-foot) printing facility in Belgium. The agreement supports RMG’s goal of modernizing its manufacturing operations by integrating advanced wireless connectivity for automation, real-time data processing, and edge computing applications. The initiative aligns with RMG’s broader digital transformation strategy to enhance efficiency and reduce operational risks.
NTT DATA’s Private 5G network will enable intelligent asset tracking, push-to-talk communications, and reliable connectivity across RMG’s printing operations. The network ensures seamless communication in an environment with heavy machinery and signal interference, overcoming challenges faced with legacy wireless systems. RMG plans to expand the 5G deployment to additional facilities in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.
