Ericsson to deploy private mobile network
at Paris Airports
Ericsson has been selected by Groupe
ADP, its subsidiary Hub One (an operator
of digital technologies for businesses)
and Air France to deploy a private mobile
network covering Paris-Charles de Gaulle,
Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports.
The 4/5G network will serve a professional
ecosystem of more than 120,000 people
who work at the three Paris airports every
day, across about 1,000 companies of
differing sizes and sectors.
Hub One will manage and set up the
network on behalf of Groupe ADP and Air
France. Ericsson’s technology will enable
Hub One to comply with the new security
obligations of France’s National Agency for
Security of Information Systems.
The mobile network will be effective across
all outdoor spaces at the airports by the
end of 2020 and indoors across all public
and reserved areas for professionals
working at the terminals by the end
of 2021.
Guillaume de Lavallade, CEO, Hub One,
said: “Ericsson is a major player recognised
for its expertise in telecommunications,
with which we have been collaborating
for several years. It seemed natural to us
to call on Ericsson and take advantage of
the technological innovation capabilities
of a leading provider of 5G networks with
more than 45 live mobile networks already
deployed worldwide.”
