Mining in Lapland
Private networks have increased safety and efficiency in extreme temperatures, connecting people, machines and vehicles for safe, automated operations, such as at the Boliden Kevitsa mine in Sodankylä, Lapland.
Ports of Finland
Private network eliminates manual inspections and optimizes operations with real-time data, reducing costs and saving fuel at the Port of Kokkola, Finland’s third largest.
Smart Stadiums in France
Immersive technologies have offered unique fan experiences, such as virtual reality and live stats, redefining sports entertainment, such as at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines National Velodrome during the 2022 UCI Track Cycling World Championships.
Sustainable Railways in the Swiss Alps
Modern digital infrastructure has replaced road transport with sustainable rail solutions, such as in the Ceneri and Gotthard Base Tunnels, part of the New Alpine Rail Link in Switzerland.
Expansion of Fiber Optics in Brazil
The deployment of fiber optics in Brazil, led by Oi, brought high-speed internet to millions of people, enabled remote education, improved access to health services through telemedicine and fostered digital entrepreneurship in previously disconnected communities.
And space is also in the sights of the connectivity revolution: by the end of this decade, NASA plans to design a network on the moon to support space exploration with real-time communication, remote control of rovers (robotic vehicles for exploring extraterrestrial surfaces) and advanced navigation, ensuring long-term lunar missions.
