For a company that, according to Business Developer Luisa Sposato, has innovation as its watchword, the Rome Innovation Hub was a must
We met in Rome at the Innovation Hub Luisa Sposato, Cellnex Italia’s Business Developer: “Decision to participate in this event was driven by its main theme: innovation. We met a lot of interested visitors, the show was good, it was undoubtedly a useful and positive experience.”
We’ve also asked Luisa Sposato a few infos about Cellnex: “The group is part of Cellnex Telecom, a telecommunications multinational company. Our core business is the classic telecommunication tower, our customers are mainly ITC operators, but we like to define ourselves, on a broader spectrum, as ‘connectivity enablers’. We also create special systems where an enhancement is required due to a large presenceof people, for example in stadiums or events, or in subways, where it is difficult to have a good signal. In short, we deal with 360° connectivity, through connectivity it’s possible to enable many services from IoT to Smart City, our aim is enabling thanks to our network infrastructure, a wide range of services throughout the country. Agriculture 4.0 is a good exaples: sensors communicate with each other, but also with the monitoring of consumption, water quality, etc.” Cellnex Italia is a technological partner with a precise core business (telecommunications infrastructures) but with attention to the customers’ needs, also thanks to a wide range of products, impossible to enclose in a classic catalog.
We close with the most important and recent achievements of this lively group in Italy, the mobile signal coverage for the RCF Arena, in Reggio Emilia, with the development of the ‘SOS button’, the app dedicated to concerts: attendees can communicate any critical health or safety issues. The works carried out for the Palalottomatica and Juventus Stadium should also be underlined. The immediate future is called 5G, that will allow the IoT development plan. “All our systems are 5G ready – explains Sposato – and the first upgrades have already started, without the need to redo the system from scratch.”
