We were excited to be part of the MEO Empresas 5G Challenge 2023 in Portugal! The technological innovation competition promotes and rewards solutions that drive the digital transformation of companies and organizations with 5G technology. With our future-shaping own 5G connectivity and mobile private network solutions for industrial use cases, we were of course part of the competition!
Our solution for the future: 5G mobile private networks
As a solution provider with our own 5G mobile private network and connectivity solutions and 5G projects in automotive, logistics, seaports & other industries, we made it to the finals alongside 10 other solution companies. Real-world insights and project learnings as well as a deep-dive into our 5G Campus2Go solution were part of our pitch for the audience and judges of the 5G Challenge.
From hardware & software provisioning to commissioning and maintenance, COCUS provides ready to use turnkey 5G mobile private network solutions. With more than 20 years of IT expertise, we provide the greatest possible flexibility and security in 5G private networks enabling long-term scalability and extension.
Find below the recording of our pitch and learn more about our 5G connectivity portfolio. P. S.: If you are new to 5G mobile private networks, you can find a brief and compact summary about the functionality and use cases of 5G mobile private networks further down on this page
Thanks to MEO Empresas for having us and congratulations to the winners!
What are Open-RAN based 5G mobile private networks?
5G mobile private networks are private networks that are deployed and used exclusively on the user’s own premises. They enable reliable mobile network coverage with high capacity and low latency compared to Wi-Fi and cable solutions.
There are various approaches to deploying 5G mobile private networks. Among them, Open-RAN is an extremely flexible and dynamic approach in which the hardware is separated from the software. This allows standard hardware and software solutions to be deployed, extended and exchanged across vendors. Learn more: how Open-RAN based 5G mobile private networks work
Where are 5G mobile private networks being deployed?
Thanks to 5G technology, it is possible to deploy a variety of mobile devices and applications in confined areas for different use cases. Thus, for example, a 5G mobile private network solves the challenges with Wi-Fi and cable equipment in the IoT (Internet of Things) and IoE (Internet of Everything), respectively, and enables real-time communication and data transmission.
The need for deployment of 5G mobile private networks is multifaceted, as they bring benefits to many business-critical and flexible applications:
- Mobile private networks serve the increased network requirements for the Industry 4.0, by providing a high level of security for data & highly critical information as companies become their own operators themselves the areas of application here range from intelligent logistics, networked production and M2M to cyber-physical systems. Die Anwendungsgebiete reichen hier von der intelligenten Logistik, der vernetzten Produktion, M2M bis zu Cyber-Physical-Systems.
- In the mobility sector, they provide the necessary speed and reliability for real-time communication and can be used for traffic control, parking and intermodal traffic use.
- In agribusiness, they are applicable to smart farming, precision farming, agricultural robotics and farm management systems.
- In healthcare, mobile private networks cover e-health, networked ambulances, telemonitoring and telesurgery.
- Smart cities, smart grids, smart metering, smart buildings, smart utilities - they can all be realized with mobile private networks.
- Last but not least, 5G is used for various media such as smart wearables, virtual reality, augmented reality and ultra-high definition video.
