Airport terminals are evolving into connected, intelligent environments powered by biometrics, IoT, and scalable infrastructure. These technologies are helping airports manage increasing passenger volumes, improve security, and deliver seamless experiences. From facial recognition at check-in to IoT-based baggage tracking and AR navigation, the connected terminal offers faster processing, predictive safety, and energy-efficient operations. Scalable, cloud-native systems future-proof infrastructure for demand surges and enable rapid integration of emerging tech like AI, digital twins, and virtual queuing. As global air travel rebounds, the connected terminal represents a blueprint for smarter, safer, and more sustainable airport growth.
Airports are no longer just transit points – theyโ€™re evolving into intelligent, connected environments powered by AI, private 5G, and digital twins. These technologies enable predictive maintenance, real-time baggage tracking, and biometric check-ins, while optimizing operational efficiency and sustainability. Private 5G ensures low-latency, high-reliability communication across airport systems, from autonomous luggage handling to AR-powered passenger navigation. Digital twins create real-time simulations of airport environments, helping operators plan, respond, and allocate resources more effectively. This digital transformation is redefining how passengers experience travel โ€” with less stress, fewer delays, and more personalization, while equipping operators with tools to boost resilience, performance, and environmental responsibility.
The global wearables market has more than doubled since 2021 and is entering a new cycle driven by AI-enabled, gesture-first devices. After a post-pandemic correction, volumes are stabilizing as value rises, helped by richer sensing, better compute and broader use cases. The next leg of growth centers on โ€œintent-basedโ€ interactionโ€”reading minute muscle or motion signals to control devices without touching a screen or speaking a command. The appeal is clear: faster command throughput, fewer errors in noisy environments, and safer operation in motion or sterile settings.
Manufacturers and wireless providers are shifting 5G from promising pilots to scaled, revenueโ€‘relevant deployments across American factories. A joint report from the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and CTIA underscores a clear inflection point: commercial 5G, industrial AI and edge computing are maturing together. With 3GPP Release 16/17 capabilities such as URLLC, timeโ€‘sensitive networking integration, network slicing and nonโ€‘public networks, 5G is increasingly able to support timeโ€‘critical control, quality inspection and safety systems at scale. Production use cases are expanding and delivering measurable benefits. The message is consistent: companies that operationalize 5G alongside AI and automation will capture disproportionate productivity and resiliency advantages.
Private 5G Networks are enterprise-controlled wireless systems offering secure, reliable, and high-performance connectivity. Learn what Private 5G Networks are, how they compare to Wi-Fi and public 5G, and how industries like manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare use them to power automation, IoT, and real-time data applications.
Indiaโ€™s first Private 5G Captive Non-Public Network (CNPN) is now operational at Numaligarh Refinery in Assam, thanks to BSNL and NRL. This private 5G network supports real-time IoT, AI-driven analytics, and AR/VR-based workforce training, setting a new benchmark in refinery automation and cybersecurity. A major step for Digital Assam and the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission.
Ooredoo Maldives has launched the nation’s first private 5G island at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi by deploying a dedicated submarine cable. This infrastructure milestone provides high-speed, low-latency connectivity, enabling AI-powered guest services, immersive AR/VR experiences, and seamless digital hospitality. It sets a benchmark for smart tourism in the Maldives and redefines digital luxury for remote island resorts.
At the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix in Portsmouth, Ericsson and BT combined private 5G and public 5G Standalone (SA) to enable real-time boat telemetry, low-latency video for broadcast, and immersive AR/VR fan experiences. The hybrid network, featuring Ericsson Private 5G and BTโ€™s 5G SA slicing, created a fully connected race ecosystem spanning multiple sites and the F50 fleet.
The Istanbul Expo Center (IFM) has become Tรผrkiyeโ€™s first venue to deploy an indoor 5G Private Network, turning its 96,000 mยฒ exhibition space into a next-gen smart venue for digital trade fairs. The Opticoms and ADSYS project integrates IoT, edge computing, and network slicing to support real-time testing, secure enterprise connectivity, and immersive AR/VR showcases.
5G-Advanced is redefining mobile networks through AI-native intelligence, sustainability, and advanced capabilities like XR support, NTN integration, and low-latency industrial IoT. Built on 3GPP Releases 18โ€“20, it enables predictive automation, 30% energy savings, and sets the stage for 6G.
