RAI Amsterdam, the conference and exhibition centre in the Dutch capital, has a new private 5G network, courtesy of NTT and Cisco. The setup has been signed off in time for the Cisco Live conference at the venue this week (February 5-9). The deployment took six weeks, the trio said. They also called it a European ‘first’ for a big event space – which is debatable, given Hannover Messe in Germany has had a private 5G network for 12 months, at least, and spectrum has been freed-up in Germany and the UK, among others, for considerably longer than in the Netherlands.
