Verizon has launched its private 5G platform to offer connectivity to businesses in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Nokia has joined Verizon as a partner in the creation of the platform, which will allow enterprises to be able to activate 5G services within their offices, without having to go through public networks.

The advantages of private 5G networks

Private 5G networks offer the same advantages as commercial ones in terms of data transfer speed and latencies, but offer greater guarantees of confidentiality by not exposing any data on public networks and allow you to customize the infrastructure in relation to specific needs . They are widely used in production, distribution and logistics structures. Private 5G will rely on the Digital Automation Cloud from Nokia, a private wireless networking solution with automation enablers, which will enable the release of applications through a web-based interface.

“ Today we announced the next phase of our global 5G strategy with the launch of private 5G for our international customers “- stated Tami Erwin, CEO of Verizon Business – “ If the last few months have taught us anything, it is that there has never been a more pivotal time for mobility and cloud and broadband products and services. 5G private networks will represent a revolutionary technology that will bring about a new era of disruption and innovation for companies around the world “.

” The wireless connection p rivata has now become essential for many industries aiming to achieve their long-term digital transformation goals. By delivering private 5G together with Verizon, we are leading the way to accelerate digitization for those industries that most need a reliable wireless connection “, said Brian R. Fitzgerald, SVP Global Solutions of Nokia .
