At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers probe the fundamental structure of the universe. CERN’s flagship, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has a massive underground infrastructure that consists of a 27-kilometer ring of superconducting magnets at an average depth of 100 meters. A mobile network designed for CERN’s needs, with a mix of above-ground and underground infrastructure, ensures area-wide communications.
