Schiphol Airport has launched a private 5G network, partnering with Ericsson to support its digital transformation and future-proof its operations. The private network, which uses a dedicated spectrum granted by Dutch regulators, gives Schiphol full control over its communications infrastructure. This setup enhances network performance, reliability, and security, while reducing the airport’s reliance on public networks. The deployment aims to enable advanced solutions tailored for the airport, such as IoT-based monitoring, real-time safety systems, and predictive maintenance.
Ericsson’s Private 5G network will help Schiphol meet the growing demand for high-speed, low-latency connectivity. The companies are exploring innovative use cases to boost airport safety, security, and customer experience. With the network’s flexibility, Schiphol can deploy digital services critical to its operations and support its Airport 4.0 ambitions. This initiative highlights Schiphol’s commitment to leading in next-gen airport infrastructure.
