What is private 5G network and its application in India?
Intended for non-public use, private 5G network is the
next big thing in digital transformation for enterprises, industries and
governments around the world.
It is essentially a local area network that uses 3GPP-based
network spectrum, to create unified connectivity and a secure means of
communication within a specific area.
Private 5G network is on the
cusp of taking off around the world. Last year, Germany issued 5G private
licenses to over 33 companies — for companies like BASF, BMW, Bosch, Lufthansa,
Siemens, Volkswagen etc — to run exclusive networks.
France, the UK, the US and Australia are also putting in place
policies to roll out private 5G networks.
Back home, Indian IT majors are planning to deploy private 5G test
beds spread over their several campuses across the country.
Tata Consultancy Services, engineering services provider L&T
Technology Services and Tech Mahindra are reportedly planning to adopt private
5G networks.
A private 5G network enables
enterprises to dedicate bandwidth for ultra-reliable low-latency use cases such
as robotics and industrial IoT, with control over data, security and networks.
It can also be tailored for specific industry and business requirements.
