Private 5G is a dedicated, autonomous cellular network designed for specific organizational use, distinct from the public 5G network.

Private 5G offers organizations like businesses, universities, or government facilities their own cellular network with enhanced control over security, capacity, and customization. Private 5G is ideal for applications demanding high-speed, low-latency connectivity, particularly beneficial in industrial and enterprise environments. It supports the deployment of technologies like IoT, automation, and AI more efficiently than public networks.

RAN Planning Challenges in Private 5G

  • Network Coverage and Capacity: Ensuring uniform coverage and adequate capacity is complex. The network design must consider various factors, including the physical layout of the site, the density of users, and data throughput requirements. This is essential to provide seamless connectivity across the entire organization.
  • Interference Management: Managing interference is crucial, especially in areas with multiple wireless networks. This includes not only external interference but also potential internal network interference.
  • Scalability and Flexibility: Creating a network that can scale with the organization’s growth and adapt to evolving technological and business needs is essential. This requires a design that is both scalable and flexible to future changes.
