450connect is a joint venture of the energy and water industry based in Cologne. The company's mission is to securely digitalize critical infrastructures and strengthen the security of supply in Germany. To this end, 450connect uses standardized LTE radio technology in the 450 MHz frequency band, which, thanks to its physical propagation characteristics, is ideally suited for nationwide and blackout-proof digitalization[1][3].
The main mission of 450connect is to drive forward the digital transformation and the energy transition in Germany. The company attaches great importance to the security, reliability and availability of its services[1][3].
450connect contributes to decarbonization and decentralization through the digitalization of critical infrastructures. The company supports the integration of decentralized renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy into the energy system, which is crucial for the energy transition[1][3]. In addition, 450connect promotes sustainability through the use of a blackout-proof infrastructure that also works in crisis situations[5].
Through its cooperation with Vantage Towers, 450connect uses an extensive infrastructure of over 19,400 transmission masts to expand its network nationwide. This enables a fast and efficient implementation of the digital transformation in the critical sectors[5].
