Abstract:

Private 5G networks meet the telecommunication service requirements of heterogeneous vertical sectors, proposing mobile networks as controllable and tuneable infrastructural assets for industrial, governmental, and commercial entities. Based on HPE's on-field experience, this presentation discusses private 5G use cases, edge-to-cloud network deployments, and technological enablers. It highlights the versatility of private 5G architectures and the increased automation, robustness, security, and control capabilities compared to other network technologies and previous mobile generations.
