Vodafone and Snam Expand Collaboration
Vodafone Italia announced that it is expanding its collaboration with Snam, which provides natural gas transportation, storage and regasification in Italy. The companies are working together to develop the first hybrid 5G mobile private network (MPN) in the natural gas sector, which will bring more reliable and secure connectivity to 23 of Snam’s plants. The hybrid infrastructure will improve 4G and 5G coverage within the facilities as well as for the local population via the surrounding public network, according to Vodafone. In our webcast, we examine how the alliance will use Vodafone’s 5G network infrastructure to deliver broadband, low latency, security, and more across the Snam energy network.
