The growing complexity of both outdoor and indoor mobility systems demands scalable, cost-effective, and reliable perception and communication frameworks. This work presents the real-world deployment and evaluation of a Cloud Autonomous Mobility (CAM) system that leverages distributed sensor nodes connected via 5G networks, which integrates LiDAR- and camera-based perception at infrastructure units, cloud computing for global information fusion, and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) to enable real-time situational awareness and autonomous operation. The CAM system is deployed in two distinct environments: a dense urban roundabout and a narrow indoor hospital corridor. Field experiments show improved traffic monitoring, hazard detection, and asset management capabilities. The paper also discusses practical deployment challenges and shares key insights for scaling CAM systems. The results highlight the potential of cloud-based infrastructure perception to advance both outdoor and indoor intelligent transportation systems.
