Last week, I had the opportunity to give a presentation on behalf of Royal Schiphol Group at the Smart Airport Summit at #MWC25 in Barcelona. I presented our (small) Private 5G project, where we are going to do a POC with various use cases. Afterward, I also participated in the panel discussion. There were nearly 200 people in the audience. It was a very interesting Smart Airport Summit. I would like to thank Samuel Ingalls, I.A.P., A.A.E. and Norman Fekrat for the invitation to give this presentation and to attend the Smart Airport Summit.

What an incredible week at #MWC25 Barcelona. With 109k attendees, we matched our highest-ever turnout from 2019—but this time, all under one roof at Fira Gran Via, meaning the halls and stages were busier than ever. I said to a colleague this week, no matter how intense the lead-up to the show is, I always find myself smiling on Monday morning — a mixture of pride, relief, and sheer awe at how the GSMA team comes together to deliver a world-class event. Now, as I return home to a (surprisingly less rainy) UK, I’m looking forward to a well-earned weekend on the sofa—before we start figuring out how to top this record year. Bring on #MWC26!

What an incredible experience at #MWC2025! It was an honor to take part in the Smart Airports Summit at MWC Barcelona, surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the #aviation industry. As our CEO Andrea Bertaia, shared the stage with top leaders from airports and airlines worldwide, Matteo Mastropaolo demonstrated how our #autonomous mobile robots can revolutionize #airport operations and elevate the passenger experience. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for such an inspiring discussion on the future of #airtravel - especially César Nava Gaxiola and Diana Vidstrom for your valuable insights. We’re also incredibly grateful to Samuel Ingalls, I.A.P., A.A.E. from Barich, Inc., Norman Fekrat from Imagine Wireless, Noelani McGadden from Netmore and Barbara Pareglio from GSMA for this amazing opportunity. It’s exciting to see the industry evolve - and to be part of shaping its future! #MobileWorldCongress #GSMA #SmartAirportsSummit #ALBARobot #innovation #smartmobility #technology #tech #robotics

📸 Did you catch our CEO Jacques Bonifay in the spotlight at the #MWC25 Smart Airports Summit? On the Lamarr Stage, Jacques tackled one of the biggest challenges in the aviation industry today: Public & Private Network Integration. Along with Norman Fekrat, Nick Batchelor and Thomas Eder, Jacques highlighted the growing need for seamless interoperability between private and public networks as airports and enterprises continue to deploy private wireless networks. ✈️ With aircraft, devices, and passengers constantly moving across different networks, the key challenge lies in enabling transparent roaming, regardless of network ownership or spectrum allocations.
