INWIT and A2A Smart City developed Milan's 5G infrastructure by deploying small cells on public lighting poles. The first phase activated seven small cells in central areas (Duomo, Brera, Garibaldi-Repubblica, Parco Lambro-Cimiano), powered by TIM.
Plans expand to ~1,000 poles, complementing INWIT's 600+ existing sites including the M4 metro, hospitals, Fiera Milano, and CityLife towers. These micro-antennas enable high-performance 5G applications positioning Milan as a European smart city leader.
The collaboration exemplifies efficient resource use, boosting network capacity and citizen services through integration with IoT, cloud, and AI for real-time urban management.
