Smart Cities, Retail & Robotics... all powered by Private 5G | MWC 2026
At MWC, Ericsson showcases how 5G, edge AI, IoT, and zero trust networking work together to enable real-world use cases across urban infrastructure and enterprise environments. The demo explores several scenarios including: • Smart traffic intersections that reduce congestion using connected cameras, adaptive traffic signals, and AI-driven optimization • Fraud prevention in hospitality and public spaces using network-powered identity verification through APIs • Retail stores with network slicing, ensuring critical payment transactions are prioritized even during network congestion • Warehouse automation, where private 5G connects drones, autonomous robots, and humanoid robots to improve inventory accuracy and worker safety From customer-facing experiences to behind-the-scenes operations, these examples show how enterprise connectivity is becoming foundational infrastructure for modern digital services. Recorded at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, March 2026.
