Ericsson has announced the successful deployment of a private 5G network in the City of Istres, located in the South of France, marking a significant advancement in European urban innovation. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This collaboration, carried out in partnership with SPIE and Unitel, establishes Istres as one of the first mid-sized European cities to implement a sovereign private 5G infrastructure that supports critical communications, bolsters public safety and enables AI-powered urban solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Private 5G networks are increasingly vital for cities aiming to enhance security and operational efficiency through mobile video surveillance and real-time data access. Istres is setting a new standard for resilient urban centres, embracing scalable solutions for public sector applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project supports long-term objectives, including AI integration and smart city expansion, while contributing to sustainability goals such as reducing carbon emissions and decreasing energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Duncan Hawkins, VP EMEA, Enterprise 5G at Ericsson said, ” The City of Istres is emerging as a pioneer of urban resilience and innovation in Europe. By embracing digital transformation and recognising the limitations of traditional urban planning, Istres has turned to private 5G to deploy a scalable, non-intrusive communications network that supports next-generation public services.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As one of the first mid-sized European cities to adopt this approach, Istres is paving the way for the modernisation of public services and the financial optimisation of municipal operations, offering a valuable model for cities across Europe looking to build on this experience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
