A private, wireless network that
uses the 5G cellular
standard but is restricted to a specific group of users or devices, rather than being publicly
accessible. Organisations such as businesses, universities, and government agencies set up
private
5G networks to enable highly-reliable, secure and dedicated communications for their operations.
Exemplary Applications of
Private 5G
Networks:
Industrial automation
5G can support the high-speed,
low-latency communication required
for industrial automation and control systems.
Smart manufacturing
Private 5G networks can enable
machine-to-machine communication
for real-time monitoring and control of production processes.
Healthcare
Private 5G networks can support the
high-bandwidth, low-latency
communication required for telemedicine and remote surgery.
Transportation
Private 5G networks can support the
high-speed, low-latency
communication required for autonomous vehicles and other transportation
applications.
Public safety
Private 5G networks can provide
secure,
reliable communication for
public safety agencies, including first responders and emergency services.
Smart Cities
Private 5G networks can support the
high-speed, low-latency
communication required for smart cities, including traffic control, public
transportation and other urban services.
Benefits of using a private
5G network:
Increased
security
Private networks
can be
secured and
managed by the organisation, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or
data
breaches.
Reliability
Private networks
can be
designed and
managed to meet the specific needs of the organisation, ensuring that
critical
applications and services are always available.
Lower
latency
Private networks
can be
optimised
for low latency, which is important for real-time applications such as
remote
surgery, autonomous vehicles and industrial automation.
Customization
Private networks
can be
customised
according to the specific needs of the organisation, allowing for more
flexibility and better performance.
Cost
savings
Private networks
can be
more
cost-effective than public networks, especially when it comes to supporting
large numbers of devices and applications.

Augmented
Reality (AR) / Virtual
Reality (VR) Operations and Training
- VR training for dangerous situations can test safety and compliance
protocols and improve procedural execution in the event of an
emergency
safety incident.
- AR overlays (e.g. smart glass hardware, analytics, back-office
tools) in
the oil & gas industry can help improve worker safety and
effectiveness
by providing visual clues and indicators, process steps, and repair
and
operation instructions.
Remote
Monitoring and Predictive
Maintenance
- Massive sensor network allows operators to remotely monitor and
control
various aspects of the platform, such as production levels and
equipment
status.
- Unmanned drones inspect equipment/assets at hard-to-reach areas and
detect maintenance works required, reducing downtime and turnaround
time
to carry out fixes.
Connected
Workforce
- Real-time location tracking for supervisors to always keep track of
employee location within platform, and ensure safety.
- Collaboration and mission critical communication including proactive
emergency response.
Digital
Twins
- Creating virtual models of the platform can help operators simulate
and
optimise its operations.
