NEC Collaborates with Cisco to Provide Private 5G

NEC Corporation is a leader in IT and network technology integration, and it will collaborate with Cisco to provide its customers with new private 5G network solutions. The architecture includes Cisco 5G SA core and cloud control center, as well as NEC’s validated wireless network and system integration services, preparing the solution for the market.

Cisco’s expertise in core networks and NEC’s experience and knowledge in wireless networks are not only directly implemented for enterprise customers, but also key to maintaining and supporting private 5G networks through partnerships with global service providers, starting from Europe and the Middle East.
NEC’s demonstration facilities and laboratories enable customers to demonstrate end-to-end solutions and validate multiple use cases to support the digital transformation of their business operations in industries such as logistics, warehousing, event venues, and airport management and operations.

Private 5G

Private 5G networks involve deploying 5G infrastructure (antennas, base stations, etc.) specifically designed to meet the connectivity needs of specific enterprises or entities. This technology allows organizations to customize their networks based on their specific needs, optimizing performance and security.

5G technology essentially provides lower latency, enabling real-time communication that is crucial for applications such as industrial IoT and automation. A dedicated 5G network can handle a large number of connected devices and provide high data transmission speeds.
