BT and Ericsson sign deal for private 5G deployments

Author: EIS Release Date: Jun 10, 2022

BT and Ericsson have partnered  to provide commercial 5G private networks for the UK market.

 

 

Ericsson Private 5G sells private networks suitable for environments such as factories, education campuses and other large sites where security and low latency connectivity are important.

 

New  applications and IoT capabilities can be enabled such as asset tracking, predictive maintenance, connected sensors, real-time data processing, automation and robotics.

 

 

“5G private networks will  also support smart factory processes and the advancement of Industry 4.0,” says BT’s Marc Overton, “unlike a public network, a private 5G network can be configured to a specific business’s needs, as well as by individual site or location. They also provide the foundation to overlay other technologies such as IoT, AI, VR and AR.”
