Powering AR Tourism with 5G: Our Role in the Trial

At SoipoServices, we're always excited to blend custom software with cutting-edge infrastructure for real-world impact. Recently, we managed the cloud infrastructure and delivered tailored software solutions for the backend of an innovative AR tour within the TrialsNet EU project. This mobile AR experience—branded as AR-Tour—let over 1,500 visitors explore 11 cultural sites, scanning QR codes to unlock immersive 3D overlays via a web app.

## What Made AR-Tour Tick

The setup was all about scalability outdoors. Our cloud management ensured seamless handling of user loads across locations, while our software solutions processed network KPIs in real-time. Data from trials showed clear links: better 5G performance meant higher user satisfaction and those "wow" moments at UNESCO sites like Naples' historic center.

Key wins:

- Stable backend for 1,500+ sessions without downtime.

- Custom tools mapping latency/bandwidth to visitor feedback.

- Integration with ARtGlass tech for smooth mobile delivery.

Why 5G Changes the Game

High-speed, low-latency 5G isn't hype—it's the backbone for AR tourism at scale. Paired with robust cloud infra, it turns cultural visits into interactive stories.

Next Steps for Cultural Tech

Projects like AR-Tour prove custom software + cloud can elevate tourism. At SoipoServices, we're ready to build similar solutions—whether for Italy or global sites.
