Swisscom: 5G in research, for public safety and for business customers

Mobile Private Networks show how 5G can simplify the network infrastructures in companies. For this purpose, local 5G mobile communication networks are set up within companies. The entire networking of company devices such as workstations, smartphones or production machines then takes place uniformly in closed, private 5G networks. These are characterised by high performance and greater security. These secure and closed networks do not end at the physical boundaries of the company, instead they seamlessly merge into the external mobile communication network – data traffic, however, is only generated within the company's own private network. They address the security requirements of data storage for sensitive business data.

The Mobile Private Networks integrate existing components of such an infrastructure, such as security, cloud, local networks (LAN) or solutions for the integration of mobile devices. In the future companies will be able to implement significantly more business processes via mobile communications, thereby reducing the multitude of technologies and lowering costs.
