A prestigious recognition in the ‘Outstanding Use Case: Driving Digital Transformation’ category went to the consortium involved in the project, Oulu University Hospital, Pohde – The Wellbeing Services County of North Ostrobothnia, University of Oulu, and WICOAR Technologies.
The Hola 5G Oulu project marks Europe’s first private 5G network deployed in a live hospital environment, tested in high-stakes scenarios including patient wards and surgical theatres.

Key highlights:
- Private 5G standalone network: Ensures seamless, secure connectivity, even during blackouts
- AR Smart Glasses: Deliver live patient data to clinicians in surgical theatres and wards
- Voice Communication Headsets: Enable instant coordination across hospital wings
- Wing-to-Wing Coverage: Eliminates fragmented communication and boosts operational efficiency
