Verizon Business Takes Private 5G Global
20 Octobre 2020 - 10:12AM
Verizon Business today announced the launch of its international
private 5G platform for global enterprises located in Europe and
the Asia-Pacific region.
Delivered in partnership with Nokia, the offering will enable
businesses to deploy a private industrial grade dedicated 5G
network capability within their premises. In addition to ultra-low
latency and increased speed, a key benefit of a private 5G network
is the ability for businesses, particularly those with
manufacturing, distribution and logistics facilities, to deploy a
customized on-site mobile network, eliminating the need to transmit
data through public networks.
"Today, we’ve announced the next phase of Verizon's global 5G
vision with the launch of private 5G for our international
customers,” said Tami Erwin, CEO, Verizon Business. “If the past
few months have taught us anything, it’s that there’s never been a
more critical time for mobility, broadband and cloud products and
services. Private 5G networks will be a transformative technology
that will drive the new era of disruption and innovation for
enterprises around the world."
A private 5G network is a self-contained network whose
components all reside in a single facility, consisting of micro
towers and small cells and connects to an organization’s Local Area
Network (LAN) and enterprise applications. It will utilize Nokia’s
Digital Automation Cloud, a private wireless network solution with
automation enablers that will allow for application deployment
through a web-based interface.
“Private wireless connectivity has become central to many
industries in realizing their long-term digital transformation
goals. By delivering private 5G together with Verizon, we’re paving
the way to accelerate digitalization for the most demanding
industries who crave reliable wireless connectivity,” said Brian R.
Fitzgerald, SVP Global Solutions at Nokia.
Verizon has been leading global efforts around 5G. In addition
to its 5G Lab and production studio in London, the Company recently
announced a 5G roaming service in South Korea and is a
founding member of the 5G Future Forum, a group of global 5G
leaders accelerating the delivery of 5G and interoperable
MEC-enabled solutions. The launch of private 5G will also enable
Verizon Media to deliver its next-generation content creation,
production and distribution technologies at scale and in real-time
to global audiences for customers.
“We're seeing international markets moving rapidly to deploy 5G
Private Networks, which appears as a major use case for the uptake
of 5G, particularly in order to capitalize on 5G investments in the
enterprise market. With the ingredients of an early mover
go-to-market 5G-know-how, foundational enterprise networking and
innovative 5G enabled services Verizon's go-to-market recipe with
Nokia will be an attractive solution to the broader market,” said
Martina Kurth, associate vice president of IDC’s European Telco
Research practice.
Today’s announcement follows recent MEC partnership
announcements with Microsoft, Cisco, IBM and AWS. In August,
Verizon recently announced its successful completion of lab trials
with Corning and Samsung on its new 5G mmWave in-building
solutions.
