Bouygues outlines plan for 5G healthcare project
Bouygues Telecoms Business is rolling out a 5G-powered "smart hospital" project at Bordeaux University Hospital in France, backed by European Union funding and technology partner Ericsson. The operator plans to use standalone 5G, network slicing and edge computing over private connections to support medical use cases such as 3D modelling for surgery planning and training, remote input from medical specialists in connected ambulances, and potentially connected glasses in operating theatres. The network is also meant to improve mobile coverage for patients and staff.
The first phase targets 5G coverage across 18 hospital buildings in the second half of this year, with around a dozen concrete use cases expected to be in place by 2027. Bouygues Telecoms Business pitches the 5MART HO5PITAL project as a step toward improving care quality, streamlining patient journeys, and strengthening hospital IT security, and argues that lessons from Bordeaux could feed into a broader overhaul of digital infrastructure in French healthcare facilities.
