LinkedIn Live: GSMA Digital Industries – Private 5G Industrial Networks
Start: Thursday 22 June 2023 15:00
End: Thursday 22 June 2023 15:45
Venue: Online
The industrial sector is undergoing a major generational shift. Industry 4.0, the digitisation of the sector, is set to create far more flexible, efficient, and sustainable production lines. Mobile technologies, such as 5G IoT, underpin this transformation by enabling industrial and manufacturing companies, and their supply chain partners, the opportunity to utilise emerging technologies such as AI, machine vision & digital twins wirelessly, to give vastly improved visibility and control over all aspects of their business.
5G wireless connectivity delivers low-latency and high bandwidth features. Enterprises from across the industrial value chain, from raw material extraction, refining, supply chain, component production, assembly and smart warehousing can all harness the benefits of these new technologies.
Increasingly the industrial and manufacturing sector view access to Mobile Private Networks as an important element for their digital transformation and Industry 4.0 ambitions.
A Mobile Private Network is a network infrastructure used exclusively by devices authorised by the end user organisation. Such a network only serves the devices assigned by the end user organisation which means there is no concern about the impact of public users or the number of devices that can be connected, or, the throughput obtained, or other network performance indicators. Coverage can also be delivered precisely where needed whether to outdoor locations such as port areas or mines, or indoor areas such as manufacturing production lines or warehousing. The functionality of a private network extends beyond capacity and coverage into areas like tailored security measures and integration with other operational or business systems belonging to the industrial enterprise.
