5G Technologies in Private Networks

5G is here with a lot of promise. It is heralding a wave of new applications and use cases of wireless communication technologies for vertical industries that have never been entertained or possible. The power of 5G enables a range of new and improved capabilities, like massive increases in broadband speeds, ultra-low latency, support of massive numbers of IoT devices and mission-critical use cases requiring the highest levels of reliability and security. These capabilities are tied to a myriad of factors, a convergence of various old and new technologies, different vertical markets and ecosystems, and different deployment architectures.

There is a growing trend of companies expressing interest to build their own private 5G networks for various advantages. This includes manufacturing, ports, airports and other sectors looking forward to using private 5G networks for high-level, granular enhancements in performance and reduced operational costs. A private 5G network is a local area network that provides all the features of a 5G network including reduced latency, higher speeds and all the advantages in terms of efficiency and security.
