The first installation was marked by a high-profile demonstration event attended by Telefónica and key government officials, highlighting the importance of smart infrastructure in modern urban planning.
Keith Henry, General Manager and Telecommunications Product Manager at CU Phosco Australia, said:
“This project continues the momentum of Connected Urban across Europe. The deployment in Munich shows how smart lighting infrastructure can play a vital role in creating safer, more connected urban environments. We’re proud to work alongside Telefónica and 5G Synergiewerk to support Germany’s vision for smarter cities.”
The Munich deployment of Connected Urban smart poles has delivered improved mobile performance in high-traffic areas, providing greater safety and convenience for residents and visitors alike. In addition to supporting Oktoberfest, the upgraded infrastructure is expected to serve future large-scale events and daily use, especially in the surrounding transport zones.
Ralf Gerbershagen, Managing Director of 5G Synergiewerk GmbH, commented:
“This collaboration demonstrates the strength of engineering-led partnerships. Each Connected Urban pole combines innovative design with practical functionality, helping urban planners address both short-term needs, like major events, and long-term network challenges.”
With further rollouts anticipated in Germany and other key international cities, including London, CU Phosco continues to redefine the role street-lighting infrastructure plays in modern city design.
