UK-headquartered neutral host provider Boldyn Networks has signed a deal with Roma Capitale, the municipal government covering the Italian capital plus 120 other municipalities around the city of Rome, to deploy 5G and Wi-Fi infrastructure across the Lazio region to support its ‘smart-city’ ambitions. The project includes IoT sensors for environmental across the city and for traffic monitoring at major intersections.
The project, called Roma5G (#Roma5G), will deliver a neutral-host 5G network to all the city’s metro lines, including 83 stations and 68 kilometres of tunnels. It will cover 2,200 small cells, 850 public Wi-Fi access points, 1,800 IoT sensors, and 2,000 5G CCTV cameras.
