| NOTAS: | "A new generation of private 5G networks is emerging to address critical wireless communication requirements in public safety, operations of industries and critical infrastructure. These private networks are physical or virtual cellular systems that have been deployed for private use by a government, company or group of companies. Critical capabilities are network features and services that are needed to serve mission-critical or business-critical use cases. Mission-critical functions are vital to an organization’s or society’s operation, such as public safety services and electricity. On the other hand, for a company to be successful, business-critical functions like production and sales are essential. 3GPP 4G and 5G technologies offer a powerful platform with built-in support for the necessary critical capabilities, increased reliability, lower latency and improved security, meeting the requirements of business- and mission-critical applications. Historically, this space has been dominated by networks based on technologies such as ethernet, fiber, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, CDMA450 or Bluetooth, or LMR networks (based on P25 or TETRA standards). However, these networks still fail to solve key customer issues. Given communications incidents can have a significant negative impact on business and operations and, at worst, result in loss of life, we are seeing a migration towards 3GPP-based networks." |
