Verizon Business has secured its first European private 5G network contract, supplying Associated British Ports (ABP) with connectivity for the Port of Southampton \u2013 one of the UK\u2019s busiest ports. The private network offers secure, low-latency connectivity, providing the basis for real-time analytics as well as future potential service enhancements in areas such as asset tracking and predictive maintenance. The US operator is delivering its 5G platform in partnership with Nokia.<\/p>\n
