How 5G boosts efficiency and security at the world’s busiest transport hubs

There was a lot of hype around the introduction of 5G in 2019, and the forecasts for what it would bring in terms of instant hyperconnectivity. While initial uptake was slow, rollout has continued steadily and the technology has matured in parallel, rising in value to meet expectations. Despite its rocky start, 5G is now lauded for bringing unparalleled speed, low latency and vast capacity to revolutionize every vertical sector, including transportation. Let’s look at that statement in more detail, specifically the advantages and opportunities available to transport hubs.

Stress free connectivity

A transport hub, like an airport or train station, is a complex network where various modes of transport come together and intersect. The busiest hubs in the world see upwards of 100 million people pass through each year. With numbers like that, it stands to reason that poor connectivity can result in high levels of stress – for passengers and staff alike. Low-speed connectivity can cause a cascade of negative effects, from delayed and missed connections and difficulties with communication, to security breaches and operations inefficiencies. Thankfully, with each new generation of mobile networks, it has become easier to tackle these challenges. Now, with the implementation of 5G, hubs finally have access to the reliable and high-speed connectivity they need for the effective operation of services, including passenger information systems, baggage tracking, security platforms and ticketing.
