LMT Group company Santa Monica Networks, UAB, in collaboration with Latvijas Mobilais Telefons SIA, has won the Klaipėdos uostas/Port of Klaipėda tender for the research and design of a private 5G network. This will be the first private 5G network in Lithuania, with completion scheduled for 2026. The network will offer higher transmission capacity, stable connectivity for mobile operations, independence from public network congestion, and significantly enhanced data security.

Juris Binde, President of LMT, commented: “A private 5G network is the next step in the evolution of 5G, which LMT was the first to implement in Latvia. However, the LMT Group is more than just SIA Latvijas Mobilais Telefons. It also includes one of Latvia’s major retailers, LMT Retail & Logistics, which operates the largest smart device repair service in the Baltics – TSC – as well as the region’s leading network integrator, Santa Monica Networks. The synergy between these companies enables us to expand our operations beyond telecommunications, strengthen our export potential, and enter new markets.”

Algis Latakas, Director General of the Klaipėda State Seaport Authority, added: “Klaipėda Port is already among the most digitally advanced ports in the Baltic Sea region – we operate a freight and goods information system (KIPIS) and an information system of shipping management in the seaport (LUVIS), and we are actively developing a digital port twin. A private 5G network is another strategic step forward. It maximizes data security and makes advanced automation possible, while laying the foundation for future smart port infrastructure solutions.”

LMT deployed Latvia’s first private 5G network in August 2024 at the Baltic Container Terminal in the Freeport of Riga. A private 5G network allows for the creation of a fully separate and physically isolated mobile data transmission network within a defined geographic area. Only specific company devices – such as tablets, smartphones, network adapters, and sensors – with granted access can connect to the network. Depending on security requirements, the network can be linked to the public network or remain entirely isolated.
