Airspan Networks Holdings Inc., a provider of ground-breaking,
disruptive software and hardware for 5G networks and a pioneer in
end-to-end Open RAN solutions, is thrilled to announce its
continued collaboration with Boldyn Networks (Boldyn), a global
leader in shared communications infrastructure, to support
Sunderland City in their ongoing deployment of its ambitious smart
cities project.
In the initial phase of the Smart Cities project, Airspan's
expertise played a pivotal role in supporting Boldyn in deploying
AirSpeed 1900 outdoor small cells. These small cells were
discretely incorporated into existing street furniture providing
high-performance, and high-capacity connectivity across Sunderland.
The chosen radios employed a comprehensive architecture,
integrating all the Open RAN software within a single radio
enclosure and offered variable options for fronthaul connectivity
to overcome challenges in areas with limited fibre presence.
Airspan engineering flexibility provided options for connections
over both fibre and point-to-point microwave. The first phase of
the Smart Cities project saw the successful rollout of
next-generation connectivity across Sunderland, laying the
foundation for progress in various sectors. Key areas that
benefited from the 5G private network include: Smart Homes, Digital
Skills, Education and Industry 4.0.
Henrik Smith-Petersen, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at
Airspan, expressed his satisfaction with the partnership and
stated, "We are very pleased with Boldyn selecting Airspan as a
partner to bring further innovation to Sunderland smart city.
Dense, software-centric 5G networks are crucial in establishing a
network of connectivity that enhances employment opportunities,
business efficiency, growth, and secures a prosperous future. Our
credentials were well-suited to delivering equipment for
large-scale connected infrastructure and networking solutions for
Sunderland City Council."
"Airspan’s continued support and advanced technology solutions
have been important in our journey to transform Sunderland into a
pioneering smart city. Their commitment and expertise in deploying
5G solutions align with our vision for a digitally connected and
sustainable urban future," said Claire Venners, Director Delivery
UK & Ireland at Boldyn Networks.
Through the integration of Airspan’s sophisticated 5G radios and
Boldyn’s leadership, Sunderland is at the forefront of the smart
city revolution. The city's commitment to leveraging technology to
drive innovation and enhance the quality of life for its residents
sets a shining example for other smart cities worldwide.
