It takes the capacity, responsiveness and security of mobile connectivity to new heights. Verizon\u2019s On Site 5G provides a private 5G network across your plant, distribution centre or campus. This enables extremely fast transfer of data between many devices, with extremely low delay and improved security.<\/strong><\/p>\n Leverage private 5G to enable gamechanging new applications that can transform your business. With private 5G, your whole plant, distribution centre or campus can have highcapacity, extremely low latency connectivity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n A private 5G network can enable an enormous range of use cases, including many that weren\u2019t possible before. Its extremely low latency, the lag in response, opens up numerous applications in healthcare and industrial safety. And its ability to support a huge numbers of devices\u2014the 5G specification can support up to 1,000,000 per square kilometre\u2014will enable a new wave of massive IoT solutions.<\/p>\n The potential uses span practically all industries, from manufacturing to retail, healthcare to financial services. Private 5G could help you:<\/p>\n While 5G provides a whole new experience, it faces many of the same challenges as other networks. 3GPP\u2019s 5G standards include numerous optional features to enhance security, including a new trust model and security architecture. The specification also includes unprecedented flexibility for enabling operators to deploy additional security features, including sophisticated encryption and SIM-based authentication to combat cyber threats. New radio access network (RAN) security features enable network operators to secure communications on all RAN interfaces, including implementing extra protections at places that are vulnerable to physical attacks.<\/p>\n Private Wi-Fi networks offer greater control than public mobile networks, but they can\u2019t scale-up to provide the comprehensive connectivity that many enterprises need. Even Wi-Fi\u00a06, the latest iteration, struggles to provide connectivity outdoors.<\/p>\n 5G handles handoffs between user devices at the network level, unlike Wi-Fi which uses device-based handoffs. This makes it better at keeping devices that are moving connected.<\/p>\n Another advantage of 5G is that it typically requires fewer access points than Wi-Fi. As well as the cost and time benefits of having fewer devices to manage, this makes 5G suitable for sites where installing enough Wi-Fi access points to achieve coverage would be impractical\u2014such as a port.<\/p>\n Private 5G requires a private spectrum licence whereas Wi-Fi uses unlicensed spectrum. That means that private 5G is limited to where the regulator has made private spectrum available and requires the applications process to be followed\u2014 the fees are usually nominal. On the plus side, private spectrum is less subject to interference. In most cases this isn\u2019t a major problem, but in some environments and where applications are mission-critical it may be a concern.<\/p>\n Additionally, unlike some value-added Wi-Fi applications that rely on cloud-based computing, On Site 5G can support local, or edge, computing.<\/p>\n Wi-Fi 6 and 5G both offer major improvements on their predecessors and each has their place. We have both technologies in our portfolio, and we recommend the best option on a client-byclient, site-by-site basis.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Public 5G networks offer low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity, but can\u2019t provide the control over security and quality of service (QoS) that many cutting-edge enterprise solutions need. The ability to prioritise traffic is vital to providing the deterministic performance\u2014including throughput and latency\u2014needed to support a Real Time Enterprise. Private 5G offers much greater control, enabling you to prioritise critical applications and quickly re-prioritise when necessary.<\/p>\n Many regulators\u2014including those in France, Germany, Japan and the UK\u2014have released private spectrum. And many others aren\u2019t far behind. If private spectrum is available, then so is private 5G\u2014regardless of whether public 5G is available at all your locations.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re ready to get started with 5G, consider a Verizon 5G Transformation Workshop. In these workshops, Verizon Business Architecture Consultants will work with you to understand your business challenges, recommend ways 5G could help address these and help you to evaluate and prioritise initiatives.<\/p>\n Private 5G will enable numerous exciting new applications, including:<\/p>\n Verizon has earned a reputation for engineering excellence and technical expertise. We\u2019ve built and operate mobile networks that span diverse landscapes\u2014from densely populated cities, to vast open spaces like mountain ranges and plains. This experience translates directly to building private mobile networks that deliver seamless connectivity no matter how complex your environment.<\/p>\n Many of the new security features in the 5G specification build on measures that were developed in the 4G environment. As the owner and operator of the one of the world\u2019s largest 4G LTE networks, we have a massive head start on leveraging these features to create more secure 5G networks. We\u2019re also developing how we use AI, automation and proactive security measures to accelerate the identification and mitigation of threats.<\/p>\n Many workloads are moving to the edge of the network to meet growing expectations for application performance, latency and throughput. On Site 5G is built to support edge computing. Customers can also use our Secure Cloud Interconnect (SCI) to access cloud-based compute and storage services over a secure connection.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n On Site 5G gives enterprises a dedicated, on-premises, private 5G network. It\u2019s suitable for any space of 4,000m2 and up, indoor, outdoor or a mix of both. Each installation is custom built to provide the coverage, reliability and capacity you need.<\/p>\n Private 5G spectrum licences are generally quite inexpensive\u2014akin to an admin fee But the process of obtaining licences isn\u2019t always straightforward, especially when you need licences in multiple countries. Our 5G team has extensive experience with regulators and applying for licences and can help you through the process.<\/p>\n Our experts will be with you all the way, through site survey\/design, installation and commissioning. And each site will be fully project managed through to successful operation.<\/p>\n On Site 5G comes with a management platform that enables you to monitor and control all the components of the network, including the radio nodes, private packet core and user equipment. You can decide which devices have access to the network; track usage, connectivity and other key performance indicators; and report and track issues. This platform is supported by 24×365 managed services, enabling you to focus on building and managing the applications that transform your business.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
