S9|E15 Private 5G, Simply Intuitive Cisco Champion Radio

    • Technology

Standing up and operating a mobile 5G network can be a challenging task, but Private 5G doesn’t need to be. Now, there is a simple solution for enterprises that integrates their existing network systems with their very own Private 5G network. Cisco Private 5G is delivered as-a-service to eliminate much of the cost and complexity by providing full lifecycle management of the equipment and software. With Cisco Private 5G, enterprise IT departments can intuitively operate their own Private 5G networks that align and integrate with the way they manage their Wi-Fi networks today.

Industries from mining to manufacturing, education to agriculture, logistics, utilities, and healthcare and more each have their own use cases and applications for Private 5G. And now Private 5G has arrived, to bring the high bandwidth, low-latency capabilities for new applications that require the speed and reliability of wired networks along with the mobility and security in cellular wireless.

In this episode of Cisco Champion Radio, we dive into the Private 5G experience, from ordering to operating and what enterprises should be looking for when considering Private 5G.


(4:28) What is Private 5G?
(7:17) How has this been simplified?
(9:48) Is there a big CAPEX or OPEX cost in comparison to a traditional LTE deployment?
(12:21) Is the organization or enterprise owning the radios and the hardware and Cisco provides the services over the top?
(14:22) Are there integrations with other Cisco solutions?
(16:53) What are some of the big use cases in the enterprise network?
(18:30) Asset tracking. Is Private 5G enabled on a mobile phone?
(21:51) Do you see private 5G pushing the needle to have those manufacturers support 5G bands?
(23:37) How does Cisco deploy the radio area network piece? How does the spectrum side of it work?
(24:45) Open Roaming movement. Are there capabilities to integrate other providers to where people can be connected outside and move into a facility and jump on to a Private 5G environment?
(27:09) In terms of access points and antennas; how does this compare to private 5G solutions specifically around external equipment?
(29:00) Is security aspect tricky around Telco networks? How easy to deploy? How do I go off to procure or lease spectrum?
(35:10) Do devices need to be 5G or can they be WiFi or 4G LTE?
