Ericsson has launched Ericsson Private 5G. It offers secure and simple 4G LTE and 5G Standalone connectivity primarily targeting - but not limited to - manufacturing, mining and process industry, offshore and power utilities, as well as ports and airports.
Ericsson Private 5G optimizes and simplifies business operations with cloud-based network management, keeps sensitive data on-premise, has zero downtime upgrades and guarantees high performance through Service-Level Agreements.
Businesses can manage their networks and integrate with IT/OT systems via an open API. Ericsson Private 5G builds upon Ericsson's 4G/5G radio and dual mode core technology, enabling a wide variety of use cases for both indoor and outdoor environments while integrating well with business operations, devices and applications.
Ericsson already has a significant track record of operational 4G and 5G private network deployments with customers worldwide.
Niels König, Coordinator 5G-Industry Campus Europe, Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT: "Private 5G networks are highly attractive for producing companies because of the uncompromised performance that 5G can bring, allowing them to tackle the challenges of production. Efficiently deploying and using network solutions in enterprises requires simplicity in installation, flexibility in connecting to existing production IT and lean operations while at the same time being able to scale the network to meet future challenges. Ericsson Private 5G delivers exactly these capabilities."
Thomas Noren, Head of Dedicated Networks, Business Area Technologies and New Businesses, Ericsson, says: "With Ericsson Private 5G, we take the best of Ericsson's current portfolio and top it up with the best of our new technology. We do this to give businesses what they need to improve productivity, enable new offerings and give employees a better working environment. With Ericsson Private 5G, we also give operators a better way to serve business customers and leverage their assets - in short, to grow beyond mobile broadband."
