Together with the 5G Synergiewerk and the Stadtwerken Würzburg, O2 TelefÃ3nica has set up the first street light with 5G technology to improve network coverage.

More locations for antennas are needed to improve mobile coverage in cities. But the space on the roofs is often expensive and time-consuming in the connection. Small radio cells - so-called "small cells" - can remedy the situation, and the network operator O2 TelefÃ3nica is now placing them in street lights in a pilot project.
This project started in Würzburg on Versbacher Straße in cooperation with the infrastructure specialist 5G Synergiewerk and the Stadtwerken Würzburg. Discussions are currently being held for further locations. According to its own information, O2 TelefÃ3nica already operates more than 40 conventional mobile phone sites in Würzburg.
The LED street lights integrate radio cells for 4G as well as 5G and thus allow data and voice transmissions. As part of any urban infrastructure, these are widely used. They already have a power connection, so that only one high-performance fiber optic connection for the transport of mobile radio signals needs to be added.
