5G-ACIA have published a short paper to describe the industrial (IIoT) deployment scenarios for 3GPP-defined 5G private networks, looking at how organisations can apply 5G technologies on their own premises, either as an independent 5G network or in conjunction with a public network.

The paper identifies some of the priorities for private networks for manufacturing & industrial processes: High quality-of-service, Security & Privacy, the need for Isolation from other networks and the requirement for tight responsibility for O&M to protect mission critical data.

The paper urges industries to analyse the use cases identified, to better understand the amount of work needed to implement a Non-public network.

5G-ACIA is a Market Representation Partner in 3GPP.

About the 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA)

The paramount objective of 5G-ACIA is to ensure the best possible applicability of 5G technology and 5G networks for connected industries, particularly the manufacturing and the process industry. 5G-ACIA’s mission is to ensure that the interests and needs of the industrial domain are adequately considered in 5G standardisation and regulation. 5G-ACIA will further ensure that ongoing 5G developments are understood by and effectively transferred to the industrial domain.
