As a result, the partnership aims to accelerate Schiphol’s digital transformation, equipping it with the advanced infrastructure needed to support next-generation services.
Schiphol Airport has obtained a dedicated spectrum for its private 5G network, granted by the Dutch regulatory body, which gives it the airport complete control over its communication systems, allowing for optimised performance, increased reliability and enhanced security.
The private network also reduces Schiphol's reliance on public or shared networks, enabling the deployment of customised, high-tech solutions, the technology giant revealed.
