Private 5G
Private 5G networks involve the deployment of 5G infrastructure (antennas, base stations, etc.) dedicated to serving the connectivity needs of a specific enterprise or entity. This technology allows organizations to customize their network according to their specific requirements, optimizing performance and security.
5G technology inherently offers lower latency, enabling real-time communication crucial for applications such as the Industrial Internet of Things and automation. Private 5G networks can handle a large number of connected devices and provide high data transfer speeds.
