Nokia partners with Rockwell Automation to test private 5G on the CBRS band, enhancing industrial automation using EtherNet/IP protocols. With successful integration of time-sensitive networking and ultra-reliable low-latency communications, this collaboration signifies a breakthrough for Industry 4.0 applications. Discover how private 5G network solutions are transforming industrial automation and connectivity.

With the advent of 5G and Wi-Fi 6, cellular connectivity offers an enticing alternative to Wi-Fi, especially in enterprise set ups. These advances, along with new approaches to spectrum policy, have spurred the expansion of private cellular networks (PCNs), giving companies more control over their connectivity. A deeper analysis reveals that despite its accessibility, Wi-Fi faces challenges like signal interference and limited coverage, where private 5G networks, underscored by robust security and higher capacity, outperform.

As the year draws to a close, the Radio and Internet Services Department (RDI) is inching closer to launching private local spectrum licenses for enterprise clients. Set to equip them with the 3.5GHz spectrum and power the assembly of private 5G networks, this promises to transform sectors such as Virtual Reality and autonomous vehicles. However, some concerns have borne by airports and ports on fair allocation.
