Verizon wins multi-billion-dollar deal to deploy private 5G networks at UK's Thames Freeport
NEW DELHI: Verizon Business has won a deal to deploy multiple private 5G networks at Thames Freeport, one of the busiest shipping and logistics centers in Britain, the US telecom carrier said on Wednesday. The multi-year, multi-billion-dollar deal, in partnership with Finnish Nokia , will see Verizon deploying multiple private 5G networks along the River Thames Estuary, including major ports and at Ford's largest London manufacturing unit. The private 5G networks will provide a scalable, long-term connectivity foundation for advanced data, artificial intelligence (AI), edge compute, and Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure deployments aimed at transforming port and manufacturing operations. Use cases and applications include AI-driven data analytics , predictive maintenance, process automation, autonomous vehicle control , safety monitoring, and real-time logistics orchestration. Nokia is the sole hardware and software provider for the networks, which will incorporate the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) platform and Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE). The Verizon private 5G Networks will be deployed at DP World London Gateway and DP World Logistics Park–Britain's largest deep-sea container port, handling over 3 million units annually, and the Port of Tilbury. 'Our partnership with Thames Freeport and Nokia shows the full promise of private 5G at scale. Thames Freeport is developing one of the most technologically advanced commercial corridors in Europe to enable forward innovation and economic revitalization for an entire community,' said Jennifer Artley, senior vice president (5G acceleration), Verizon Business. 'This is one of the largest commercial private 5G rollouts in a European port incorporating the Nokia DAC platform. This network will allow Thames Freeport to overlay advanced use cases such as AI-driven data analytics, predictive maintenance, process automation, autonomous vehicle control, safety monitoring, and real-time logistics orchestration,' said David de Lancellotti, vice president (enterprise campus edge sales), Nokia.
