Ericsson Private 5G

This marks the first step towards using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in industrial settings.

Croatian telecom services provider Odašiljači i veze (Transmitters and Communications), aka OIV, and car parts maker AD Plastik have started the new year with the launch of the OIV 5G PrivateN-et network. This is a trial operation of a network that does not use the resources of the public mobile communications network. OIV says that this is not an upgrade on the existing 4G network, and Nokia has provided the equipment.

Ericsson has launched Ericsson Private 5G for secure and simple 4G LTE and 5G standalone (SA) connectivity primarily – but not exclusively – focused on manufacturing, mining and process industries, offshore and power companies, as well as ports and airports.
