A READING-based telecommunications firm is teaming up with a construction firm to accelerate the 5G rollout across the construction industry.

Cellnex UK and Ferrovial said the cooperation agreement will help create infrastructure to turbocharge the creation of the high-speed mobile network. There will be an initial focus on Open RAN projects in the UK before heading to Europe.

The firms say the EU recovery fund will be an important catalyst for the deployment of 5G networks to accelerate benefits to users, sectors and for the development of sustainable infrastructure.

It is the first time that Cellnex has helped provide connectivity for the construction sector, and the firm says it can help with integrating the Internet of Things devices, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and robotics.

David Crawford, managing director of Cellnex UK said the firm is delighted.

“Increasingly we are seeing that industry co-operation is essential to help the UK realise its vision of a connected society,” he said.

“Cellnex UK will always be open to working with our customers to deploy innovative solutions using our infrastructure to create value, and this Open RAN deployment for Ferrovial is a great example of our ambition.”

This partnership follows a challenge launched last year by Ferrovial, together with 5PRING –a 5G application accelerator in the UK– and other companies such as Eurovia UK or Galliford Try, for start-ups and innovative small businesses to shape the future of the construction sector.

Karl Goose, Ferrovial Construction’s managing director, said the partnership helped reinforce the company’s position in the digital transformation of the infrastructure sector.

“This collaboration with Cellnex UK and the Open RAN flexibility provides unique benefits when looking to advance how we design, build and manage projects, therefore making them safer, more efficient, and more sustainable,” he said.

“I’m excited to see the results of this relationship with Cellnex in the UK and look forward to sharing the resulting learning and best practice with other areas of the business.”
