Nokia has announced that it has become an official partner of the 2022 TISSOT UCI Track World Championships being held near Paris in October 2022. Nokia is working with the French Cycling Federation to deploy a 5G private wireless network solution at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines National Velodrome. The deployment will enable an immersive digital experience for fans and enhance security and safety at the event.
Nokia is already partnering with the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Community on 5G projects in the 26 GHz band at the National Velodrome. With 25,000 spectators expected over five days, the event provides a platform to showcase how 5G private wireless can meet the demands of thousands of people in an arena as they simultaneously access data and video over their devices. The low-latency and high-bandwidth capabilities of 5G will enable the arena owners and communications service providers to offer new data-driven services at similar events.
The private wireless network using mmWave for 5G will be deployed with Nokia Modular Private Wireless (MPW) solution. It will demonstrate how enterprises in France can leverage 5G mmWave to advance their Digital Transformation.
