Digital management
With the new technologies offered by O2 Telefónica, we can drive and significantly accelerate the digitization of public administration. Now is the right time to take off.
CEO Markus Haas
From vision to digital reality - we make it happen.
5G - it's more than an ultra-fast network, 5G opens up a new dimension for digital transformation in the public sector. For the first time, data exchange between devices and sensors is possible in real time - an important prerequisite for the use of artificial intelligence or applications from the Internet of Things (IoT). The technologies help to optimize traffic, reduce CO2, conserve resources and make processes streightforward.
As a telecommunications service provider, O2 Telefónica offers authorities, administrations, municipalities, and public companies’ all-in-one solutions from a single source, starting with data protection-compliant identification via eID to secure and stable communication of utilities to IoT applications such as intelligent traffic light control. The following examples show how O2 Telefónica effectively supports public administration as an enabler of digitalization.
5G for the police work of tomorrow
How O2 Telefónica improves the communication of public authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS)
Secure and immediate: Tailor-made 5G networks for emergency services
O2 Telefónica is working on a solution that will enable public safety organizations to activate 5G networks specially configured for them exactly when they are needed - network slicing on demand. The project is being supported as part of the economic stimulus package 45 (KoPa 45).
With 5G network slicing, parts of the 5G network - known as slices - can be configured for specific requirements. This provides the right network for every individual application, such as for mobile control centers or drone surveillance.
Ready for action - 5G innovations for critical scenarios
Public authorities and organizations with security tasks in particular need a fast, stable and secure mobile network for their daily work. It must function reliably 24/7 - even in an emergency, such as a widespread power outage or an attack on the digital infrastructure.
With its low latency and high bandwidth, 5G technology offers BOS completely new and highly efficient tools. O2 Telefónica's 5G network already reaches about 97% of the population. The ultra-fast network is becoming suitable for the mass market.
Network slicing on demand can provide user-specific 5G networks
Pioneering BOS projects with Airbus and Dataport
Together with its partners Airbus and Dataport, O2 Telefónica is developing further innovative 5G solutions as part of the KoPa 45 funding, which will enable BOS to utilize the full potential of the high-performance mobile network.
Airbus is in the process of developing a cross-technology system for managing subscribers, services and groups as well as a variety of devices and applications. Stephanie Strassner from Airbus explained the project.
Dataport is working on hardening private 5G networks to make them fail-safe enough to meet the high requirements of police and security forces.
Use Cases
Digitization turbo for Dataport
Von Remote bis zur Smart City – die IT-Anforderungen an öffentliche Verwaltungen steigen rasant. O2 Telefónica hat für den IT-Dienstleister Dataport ein 5G-Standalone-Netzwerk konzipiert und errichtet.
From remote to smart city - the IT requirements for public administrations are increasing rapidly. O2 Telefónica has designed and built a 5G standalone network for IT service provider Dataport.
Dataport is testing IT solutions for public authorities, for example, to what extent 5G technology can be used to provide faster and more cost-effective access to the state network for new or growing public properties such as schools or public authorities in terms of construction.
Dataport's 5G Lab provides a secure and protected research and development environment where no data leaves Dataport's premises or the administrative IT network connected to the 5G campus network.
Helios - IoT improves patient care
O2 Telefónica has built the first private 5G campus network in a hospital in Germany for healthcare provider Helios at its hospital site in Leipzig.
Networked medical devices can significantly improve patient care. Sensors measure vital signs such as pulse, blood pressure or blood sugar levels and warn of critical values. Patients' condition can be better monitored, and therapeutic measures can be taken more quickly and in a more targeted manner.
Helios can use the network to observe and monitor medical equipment in real time, for example, infusion systems. In the future, Helios also plans to use the technology to connect medical devices in outpatient care.
University of excellence uses 5G network for research
O2 Telefónica has deployed the first scientific 5G campus network for the Technical University of Munich (TUM), one of Europe's most innovative universities.
The scientists study on how industrial companies can use 5G technology for autonomous guided vehicles and robots, for example. The aim is to optimize internal processes in material handling and logistics. Conventional data networks are too slow and too susceptible to interference for such applications.
O2 Telefónica's 5G campus network offers TUM a secure, closed research environment - without a connection to the public mobile network. O2 Telefónica also supports the university with engineering consulting.
