Expand connectivity at the edge with private 5G networks
Private 5G is not a replacement for Wi-Fi, but instead augments existing Wi-Fi investments to deliver greater mobility, wide-area connectivity, and deterministic performance for mission-critical applications.
HPE announces new enterprise private 5G offering that integrates with Wi-Fi
Cutting through the private cellular complexity
- Adopting a unified approach to Wi-Fi and private cellular
- Leveraging pre-integrated small cell technology (radios)
- Streamlining management with tools that make managing private 5G as easy as Wi-Fi
- Enabling fit-for-purpose technology designed for the enterprise, not public 5G networks
Why enterprises are adopting private 5G
There is no one driver behind the growing interest in private 5G—yet enterprise adoption is growing rapidly across a wide range of industries and use cases.
Wider area coverage, especially outdoors
Covering large areas such as outdoor venues, transportation hubs, and large warehouses can be a challenge. With higher power limits and higher radio receiver sensitivity, each private 5G small cell can cover more area, lowering cabling costs and making it easier to connect hard-to-reach areas.
High-speed mobility
Industry 4.0 demands high-speed mobility in order to avoid costly work stoppages. With private cellular, handoff decisions are controlled by the network and benefit from wider area coverage that requires fewer handoffs, making it ideal for autonomous vehicles and robotics.
Segmentation of mission-critical traffic
Mission-critical applications may require a separate network that operates alongside existing Wi-Fi, especially in noisy RF environments. With a better together approach, private 5G can handle revenue-generating applications like mobile ticket scanning in a public venue while Wi-Fi is reserved for guests.
Seamless indoor cellular coverage
When subscribers move from outdoors to indoors, coverage often suffers. Cellular data can be offloaded to Wi-Fi relatively easily but dial tone coverage requires manual activation. In the future, neutral networks will provide cost-effective coverage across multiple carriers without use of distributed antenna systems (DAS).
Turning the Roman countryside into an immersive experience
Ryder Cup partnered with HPE to deploy a groundbreaking HPE Aruba Networking integrated 5G and Wi-Fi network for expanded broadcast coverage and secure, enhanced fan experiences.
Ruggedized secure communications in Antarctica
Within a few hours, the team had a cellular network rugged enough to provide connectivity across a 5km area. Temperatures averaged -30C with high winds, yet the private cellular network is equipped to provide secure, reliable communications for the South Pole researchers and their guests.
