Vodafone Business and Osmos Hellas undertook the implementation of the project "Smart Bridges,"  which was tendered by the Technical University of Greece and funded by the Recovery Fund-Greece 2.0 with a total value of €95.3 million with a 24-month contract duration and the subject of the supply and installation of smart systems for infrastructure monitoring in 150 bridges of the road network and 100 bridges of the railway network.

According to Vodafone, the purpose of the project is to create a Smart Bridges Network (SBN) based on the philosophy of an 'Internet of Things' or 'Internet of Things' (IoT), aiming at an immediate, automatic, and seamless assessment of the load-bearing capacity of bridges, mainly under real-time traffic loads, through an IoT system.

Modern technological applications that will be installed will be powered by the Vodafone Green Network 5G and will gather data about the state of the bridges. Qualified engineers will then use this data to improve the safety level of the bridges. The bridges will be equipped with special structural response measurement systems and sensors that will measure and record the necessary information in real time.

George Tzanetakos, General Manager of Vodafone Business, said: "The Smart Bridges project is a key investment in the resilience of Greece's infrastructure. Through the use of state-of-the-art IoT and AI technologies, we are implementing an integrated approach to bridge maintenance. This partnership secures critical transport links and integrates innovative solutions in infrastructure management."
