    • Nokia, Digita, and CoreGo launch mobile private 5G networks for real-time event operations
    • Initiative enhances ticketing, payments, and data analytics with edge cloud technology

    What happened: Nokia, Digita, and CoreGo deliver portable private 5G to streamline high-density event management

    Nokia has joined forces with Finnish broadcaster Digita and event tech firm CoreGo to introduce mobile private 5G networks tailored for large-scale public events. The new initiative integrates Nokia’s Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) with CoreGo’s point-of-sale systems, providing a dedicated wireless infrastructure designed to optimise operations such as inventory control, ticket validation, access management, and on-site payments.

    The deployment is handled by Digita and can be relocated to various venues, ensuring flexibility for organisers hosting multiple events. According to the partners, the implementation of private 5G networks allows seamless and secure real-time data transfer—essential for ticket scanning, digital signage, and staff communications in fast-paced environments.

    The benefits extend further into fan engagement and operational intelligence. Edge cloud processing integrated into the solution facilitates geo-location-based services and advanced analytics in real time. Michael Aspinall, Nokia’s Head of Sales for Enterprise Campus Edge in Europe, said the technology “proves its capability in securing reliable data transmission at large events.” Digita’s Pekka Koskinen added that the collaboration supports their expansion into Nordic markets with scalable, high-quality solutions.

    This development aligns with broader trends in the private wireless market. Dell’Oro Group recently reported a 40% year-over-year increase in private RAN revenues, with private wireless comprising up to 5% of the total RAN segment in 2024—underscoring its growing relevance across industries.

    Why it’s important

    Private 5G networks have emerged as a pivotal infrastructure solution for large-scale venues and events. Their ability to offer dedicated, low-latency, and high-throughput connectivity addresses key limitations of shared public networks, particularly in environments with high user density and operational complexity.

    The collaboration between Nokia, Digita, and CoreGo demonstrates a practical use case for mobile private 5G that goes beyond theory—offering a portable, reliable communication system for venues where real-time responsiveness is crucial. Event organisers benefit from robust payment platforms, consistent ticket validation, and the ability to analyse crowd flow and vendor performance through live data feeds.

    Moreover, the integration of edge cloud computing enhances the capability of these networks by reducing reliance on distant data centres, enabling instant decision-making and support for interactive applications like digital signage and geo-targeted messaging.

    As enterprises continue to explore digital transformation, the scalability of private 5G offers a modular solution adaptable to varied industries—from manufacturing to media. Dell’Oro’s insights into a 40% rise in private RAN revenues indicate a turning point where enterprise adoption begins to influence the broader telecommunications landscape. With up to 5% of total RAN deployments now attributed to private networks, their strategic importance is clear.
