Designated 2 day programme for ports and airports

On the Wednesday and the Thursday of the event we will run a comprehensive programme aimed at this niche and composed of 2 elements.

Day 1 Visit to relevant exhibitors at MWC

The Wednesday we will compose a programme for a ‘tour’ on the MWC, passing by the pavilions of key suppliers and providers in the domain of private networks. Looking at the last 2 years, examples are vendors like Nokia, Huawei, Druid (core) , Airspan (radio’s), Viavi (testing) and more; as well as providers like NTT Data, Verizon, Eurofiber (at the NL Pavilion) KPN, Vodafone, Spie, and others like GSMA.

With these visits, attendees will have a 1-day highlights of all the relevant trends in private wireless.

Day 2 Visit to a leading port deploying private wireless

On the Thursday, the event’s last day, we will visit the port of Barcelona. The port is one of the top 3 ports in Spain that already deploy private 4 or 5G! At Barcelona port we will visit the container terminal of BEST (Barcelona European South Terminal). Where they deploy a private mobile network for crane control, straddle carrier steering, telemetry , surveillance and ambulant work force. BEST is part of the Hutchison group, a global group of ports and terminals that already deploys private mobile networks in multiple of its ports (UK, Sweden, Poland, Netherlands) and has a strategy to roll out in many more.

With this visit the attendees will have a hands on idea of what a port can do with a private 5G network
