Private 5G isn’t the typical 5G you might be familiar with—it’s the 5G designed for business. Explore our dedicated site on Private 5G to uncover how it has the potential to revolutionize your organization.
Private 5G refers to a network tailored for significant enterprise and public sector clients, delivering a customized 5G experience within indoor or outdoor facilities. This is particularly valuable in areas where high-speed, high-capacity, and low-latency connectivity are essential, regardless of whether the location falls within a public 5G coverage zone. It addresses the specific requirements for dedicated bandwidth capacity, extended range, security, reliable connections, and a consistently available service, all contributing to the reduction of downtime.
The Mobile Private Network (MPN) is a specialized business network designed to link individuals and devices through 4G and/or 5G technology. Beyond facilitating the adoption of novel applications, MPNs offer the capability to sustain a company’s existing mission-critical services through a dedicated on-site network, ensuring secure and dependable connectivity. Unlike WiFi, an MPN acts as an alternative to public mobile networks, offering exclusive reserved coverage characterized by agreed-upon performance standards and safeguarded local data flow.
MPNs operate independently from the mobile network that serves everyday smartphones, offering several advantages:
Elimination of the risk of network congestion caused by numerous devices connecting simultaneously. As private networks, MPNs empower customers to regulate which devices and applications access the network.
With on-site connectivity and core/MEC technology, data processing and storage occur within the customer premises, enhancing security by preventing data from leaving the site.
In contrast to the public network’s standardized experience designed primarily for smartphone connectivity, MPNs can be tailored to support specialized use cases and more advanced connectivity requirements. Configuration options include setting thresholds for upload and download speeds, as well as parameters like latency.
What sets apart 5G Standalone from the current 5G connectivity services available to customers today?
5G non-standalone, the version accessible to customers at present, involves the integration of 5G radios into an existing 4G network. While it provides speed enhancements, its performance is still constrained by the underlying 4G technology.
On the other hand, 5G Standalone represents a comprehensive 5G solution, spanning from the core to the radio units. This upgraded infrastructure empowers telecom operators to realize the long-discussed benefits of 5G, as well as introduce new services that were previously unattainable.
What is Multi-access Edge Compute (MEC) technology?
MEC technology enables the processing of data locally, eliminating the need to transfer data to a distant data centre. By installing specialized servers in customer locations instead of traditional data centres, the distance data must travel for processing is minimized. This reduction in travel distance subsequently decreases the time required for an application, dependent on processed data, to respond to a command. A diminished Round-Trip Time (RTT) contributes to lower latency.
The reduction in application latency not only ensures safe and intended functionality but also opens the door to new use cases. Consider an autonomous vehicle as an example. In a conventional network infrastructure, the vehicle’s response to a change in the environment, detected by a sensor, could take between 50-140 milliseconds. This delay stems from the sensor sending information about the environmental change to a data centre, potentially located hundreds of miles away. The vehicle then reacts only after the data has been processed and transmitted back to the vehicle.
Utilizing specialized MEC servers positioned at the network’s edge significantly reduces the Round-Trip Time, enabling the autonomous vehicle to react with remarkable speed. In an optimal Dedicated MEC environment, leveraging MPN 5G Standalone connectivity on the customer’s premises, this reaction time could be as swift as sub-10 milliseconds. This substantial reduction in latency markedly enhances the performance and safety of the autonomous vehicle.
In the context of 5G Standalone, how does multi-access edge compute (MEC) technology play a role?
MEC serves as a complementary technology to 5G Standalone by facilitating real-time responsiveness in applications on smartphones and other internet-connected devices. While both MEC and 5G Standalone individually offer notable improvements in latency, their combined implementation enhances the user experience even further. With the integration of both MEC and 5G Standalone, users can anticipate applications responding more rapidly than the human brain can process information. This capability holds significant value for autonomous operations, such as self-driving cars, and for processes like user authentication aimed at preventing fraud.
