5G Hub and Ericsson deploy exclusive and unique Ericsson Private 5G network

Transformation is happening across a spectrum of industries. But as industrial digitalization accelerates, so does the demand for the advanced connectivity that private cellular networks can deliver. This connectivity liberates industrial enterprises to unlock the full potential of automation, control, and exponential growth. But what does that entail? In this article, we present Ericsson Private 5G and explain why it’s a game-changer for companies of all sizes and fields.

First things first: what’s a private cellular network? It’s an isolated on-premise network deployed for an enterprise’s exclusive use and unique requirements. Today these cellular networks are offered over both 4G and 5G. A 5G private network provides extra reliability, higher quality of service, more speed (bandwidth), and personalized and extended security measures when compared to a public network.

According to Juan Pablo Nieto, 5G & Mobile Private Networks Product Manager in VodafoneZiggo, customers are demanding increased guarantees and advanced managed services from mobile products. “Private Networks allow customers to obtain the benefits of mobile technologies, known for their stability and reliability, and the feature of cutting-edge self-service management. These features are mandatory for verticals that use critical communications for their business processes, as seen in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and utilities, among others. Mobile Private Networks provide the guaranteed layer of communications that value-added services require, such as Push To Talk, Lone Worker Protect, Critical IoT, etc.”
