Introducing AWTG’s Evolved Network-in-a-Box – Powered by RAN Automation

AWTG’s cutting-edge Network-in-a-Box (NIB) and Cells on Wheels (COWs) solution is transforming how events, local markets, pop-up venues, and rural communities stay connected. Whether it’s a large public gathering, a temporary indoor installation, or a short-term commercial deployment, our solution delivers resilient 5G, WiFi, IoT, and eSIM-enabled subscriptions on demand that is fast to deploy, energy-efficient, and fully optimised for network monitoring and smart performance management.

Evolved from Real Deployments

Following successful deployments in Central London, Cambridge, Glasgow, Dundee, the Lake District, and numerous temporary events, AWTG’s mobile solution has continued to evolve to meet the real-world needs of both urban and remote deployments.

The system supports indoor deployments, as recently demonstrated at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge enabling live AR broadcasting of a music gig, streamed to mobile and VR headsets. There, the mobile system was integrated with an existing permanent network and used as a movable 5G extension to cover offices, backstage areas, bars, and other dynamically changing demand zones within the venue. This flexible indoor application complements our existing outdoor capabilities.

AWTG have introduced
