Private 5G networks
Do you need mobile communications in an industrial plant, campus or community environment? Communications with excellent performance to enable video transmission, large data streams, IoT devices and other controls in real-time systems? Without the need to install multiple access points? With the ability to support thousands of devices that make up the digital fabric of the business?
Private 5G networks, or Private Wireless solutions based on the same technology as 5G cellular networks, have all these features.
While the construction of a “private cellular network” may seem like a complex and expensive undertaking, accessible only to large corporations, the reality is that there are solutions of a scale that allow them to be deployed and used also by small entities – industrial plants, universities, hospitals, local government units. There are already thousands of such installations in the world, and their number is growing very rapidly.

Why Private Wireless Networks?
5G will become the dominant standard in mobile communications in the coming years. At the same time, it is a standard that – already in its development – also takes into account the needs typical of corporate, critical, industrial or public security communications.
5G is becoming a natural choice for building advanced communication systems for businesses, corporations and public institutions. Device providers, taking into account such demand, are proposing solutions with a scale much smaller than operator solutions but enjoying all the advantages of 5G communications, the most important of which are: very high bit rates reaching gigabits per second, low latency and the ability to support a large number of users/devices.

Private 5G in industry
Industry 4.0 as a future-oriented concept for modern, digitized manufacturing plants needs good end-to-end communication, which 5G private network solutions can provide. Greater flexibility of production lines and processes, energy efficiency, smaller carbon footprint, increased employee safety, faster decision-making processes, which in total and as a consequence brings increased work efficiency, are the benefits of the Industry 4.0 concept.
The first step is digitization, and this cannot happen without efficient, fast, secure and comprehensive communications. A private 5G network covers an entire industrial plant, campus or network of distributed factories and connects all devices, IoT (Internet of Things) elements and users with the speed, reliability and security required for industrial systems and OT (Operational Technology) networks.

Why should I consider implementing a private-5G wireless network in my company?
Private-5G has unique parameters, such as low latency, high throughput and support for a large number of devices (e.g. IoT). These are parameters that are important especially for the industrial sector, where reliability and speed of communication are key to the efficient operation of manufacturing processes. Private wireless networks allow full control over the infrastructure, which in turn allows it to be tailored to the specific needs of the company. In the case of Private-5G, the ability to support thousands of devices simultaneously and the optimization of energy efficiency put this solution at the forefront of technologies supporting the digital transformation of businesses.
Do I need a frequency allocation to build a private 5G network? Does it involve fees?
Yes, applying for bandwidth allocation for the network under construction is one of the first steps to be taken. The good news is that as of September 15, 2022. UKE (Office of Electronic Communications) has allocated the so-called N77 band for use in private networks, independent of the networks of public mobile operators. Commercial entities and local government units can apply for bandwidth allocation, and annual fees depend on the area where the network is to operate and bandwidth requirements, ranging from PLN 100 to PLN 25,000 per year.
How is Private-5G different from other private wireless networks?
Compared to other private wireless networks such as Wi-Fi, Private-5G offers incomparable throughput and low latency and is ideal for industries where thousands of IoT devices are required to be supported simultaneously. It is ideal for enterprises that require high-speed, real-time data transfer. These differences put Private-5G in the spotlight especially for those industries where advanced IoT, robotics or automation technologies are being developed.
What advantages can I get from a private wireless network over public cellular networks?
Private wireless networks, including Private-5G, bring a number of advantages over public cellular networks. First and foremost, companies gain full control over their infrastructure, allowing them to customize network parameters. Private networks also guarantee a higher level of privacy and data security, eliminating concerns about sharing the network with other users.
Can regular cell phones/smartphones be used in a private 5G network?
Yes. All devices manufactured for use in public networks and available on the market can also be used in a private 5G network. This is a huge advantage of such a solution because the market for smartphones and 5G devices is very dynamic. Regardless of the possibility of using common-use devices in a private network, specialized devices and smartphones manufactured for specific applications can also be used in it. This group will include, for example, phones that are intrinsically safe and meet other conditions necessary for operation in hazardous environments (ATEX and similar standards), as well as all kinds of industrial and dedicated devices. This diversity and the possibility of coexistence in the network of devices of different types allows to significantly reduce costs, for example, in a situation where some employees – working in hazardous areas – are equipped with specialized ATEX smartphones, while a much larger group of users who are not in hazardous areas can use ordinary, much cheaper terminals.
Are private wireless networks secure? What security measures are implemented in Private-5G?
Yes, private wireless networks are designed with security in mind. In the case of Private-5G, advanced authentication mechanisms, data encryption, and real-time monitoring of network traffic are employed.
Are private wireless networks complicated to deploy?
The implementation of a private wireless network, Private-5G, is simplified with modern solutions that simplify and automate deployment and minimize disruption to ongoing business operations during deployment. Working with an experienced vendor allows you to tailor the implementation to your specific infrastructure and requirements. In addition, modern management platforms make it easy to monitor and maintain the network, resulting in an efficient implementation process.
Are private wireless networks scalable?
Yes, private wireless networks, and Private-5G in particular, are designed for easy scalability. These solutions allow for flexible adaptation to a company’s changing needs, whether by adding new devices, areas of operation or increasing bandwidth. As a result, companies can expand their infrastructure as their business grows, without the need for large “up-front” investments. This is all the more advantageous because it is not practical to plan the need for network resources for more than a few months or so – usually in the meantime, new needs arise, new use-cases not yet known at the planning stage.
In which industry sectors are Private Wireless networks best suited?
The largest number of Private Wireless installations are in the manufacturing industry (electro-mechanical, chemical, fuel), power generation, mining (especially open-pit mining), seaports and airports, cargo bases and logistics centers. Different industries can use and appreciate the various advantages of private mobile networks. These can include the breadth of the coverage area (which will be important in a large open-pit mine), secure communications in areas with hazards (in the chemical and oil industries), drone communications and control (for monitoring wind turbine infrastructure or power lines), and in any case also: high-speed communications within industrial networks, including real-time systems such as SCADA and other production control solutions.
What devices can be supported by a private wireless network?
The private wireless network supports a variety of devices, including smartphones, tablets, IoT sensors, industrial robots and other devices that communicate wirelessly.
Will the private wireless network integrate with my company’s existing IT infrastructure?
Yes, private wireless networks, including Private-5G, are designed to integrate with existing IT systems. The integration process is tailored to the customer’s specific infrastructure.
