Are there plans to replicate the private 5G model across other Lufthansa Cargo sites globally?
Speaker: Mario Schwarz, Operations Manager
We have a lot of strategies in place for our digitalization, and currently, we have transferred the proof of concept from LAX into a productive environment, which has now been up and running for more than a year. From the perspective of global expansion, I can only speak for the United States. Here we have a special situation because we are using the CBRS spectrum, which is only available in the US. In Germany, for example, the regulations are different and they need to purchase spectrum. In the US, we can more or less use it for free. It is not totally free, but it is essentially free to use compared to other regions.
With that in mind, we are looking into the possibility of implementing private 5G in our major US warehouses in JFK, Atlanta, and Chicago. We are currently evaluating the business case to move forward with the next phase of implementation in our JFK warehouse.
