Deutsche Messe owns and operates one of the largest exhibition centers worldwide. Deutsche Messe intends to establish a public and private 5G network in the halls and the outside areas to serve exhibitors and visitors. Our intention is to go far beyond that pure service aspect. At Hannover exhibition center we want to showcase a wide range of applications enabled by 5G technology. This requires a multi supplier and operator strategy which is a big challenge. In the presentation we will report on the current status of the infrastructure concept and status of discussions with potential suppliers.
