Private 5G networks have become very popular as regulators provide enterprises with additional spectrum to deploy their own private 5G networks.  The 5G capabilities can accelerate innovative business and revenue streams for the enterprise market, driving the digital transformation of various Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. Private 5G offers massive connectivity, higher data rates, ultra-low latency, higher reliability, and secure communication, which is significant for the deployment of novel technologies in the manufacturing sector.

Read on, to know what, why, and how Private 5G is fueling Industry 4.0.

Wonder what is Private 5G?

Enterprises prefer a networking environment that can be controlled, operated, and deployed without the aid of licensed Service Providers (SPs). Private 5G networks or Non-Public Networks (NPN) allow industries to own a specific area and operate with licensed, unlicensed, or shared spectrum to enable services within the area. Private 5G can enable ultra-high speed connectivity of gigabits and support ultra-low latency of less than 1 ms for mission-critical applications such as autonomous cars, telesurgery, and more. 

Why and How Private 5G is Influencing Industry 4.0 Transformation?

Industry 4.0 realizes digital transformation with key enablers such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data analytics, cloud computing, and cybersecurity to create a flexible, dynamic, and competitive environment for enterprises. The success of Industry 4.0 is largely dependent on the availability of reliable and secure wireless connectivity that can support massive IoT deployment and enable real-time communication and coordination among devices, machines, and people. This is where the Private 5G can play a significant role.

Private 5G helps enterprises to achieve their business objectives by providing the connectivity, intelligence, and agility required for digital transformation.

  • High-speed and low-latency connectivity: The 5G capabilities of providing a higher data rate of up to 10 Gbps, ultra-low latency of less than 1ms, and 99.9999 % of higher reliability can enable faster and more efficient production with reduced downtime, and improved product quality and safety.

  • Reliable and secure communication: Private 5G ensures reliable and secure communication by providing dedicated and isolated network resources that are not shared with other users. This can reduce the risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches and protect critical assets and operations.

  • Massive IoT support: Private 5G networks support massive IoT deployment, enabling the connection and control of a vast number of sensors, actuators, and devices with diverse requirements, providing real-time monitoring and analysis of production processes, assets, and environments, and enabling predictive maintenance and quality control.

  • Network slicing and orchestration: Private 5G networks can offer network slicing and orchestration capabilities, allowing the creation and management of multiple virtual networks with different characteristics, such as bandwidth, latency, and security.

  • Integration with other technologies: Private 5G networks can integrate with other digital technologies, such as AI, ML, edge computing, and robotics, to enable advanced automation and intelligence in manufacturing and industrial processes. This can also generate new opportunities for innovation and growth.

The Way Forward

The impact of Private 5G will be significant for Industry 4.0, as 5G can provide immense levels of connectivity. The key capabilities of 5G such as extremely reliable and low latency communication, enhanced broadband, energy efficiency, and massive machine-type communications can facilitate industrial sites or enterprises for novel 5G-enabled applications that can digitally transform their businesses in the future.
