However, a lack of in-house telco experience can lead to manufacturing companies being unaware of the benefits of or unable to deploy their own private LTE network, and that’s where a new player in the connectivity space comes in: the Enterprise Network Operator (ENO). Enterprise-owned PCNs are the answer to accommodating today’s mission-critical, data-centric IoT applications before 5G becomes widely available. This instead gives enterprises ownership of their network connectivity. Thanks to innovation in pLTE, MNOs no longer have sole control over the network. PCNs offer the additional resilience and security that IIoT applications require, as well as give manufacturing companies the means to tailor their connectivity to meet specific application requirements and optimize demand for network resources. Private cellular networks (PCNs) that are both owned and operated by the enterprise are fast becoming a mission-critical resource. Until that day, Private LTE is already offering many of the aforementioned benefits, while also providing an easy transition path to 5G further down the road. However, it will take some time before 5G cellular networks are fully rolled out and the manufacturing can take advantage of the benefits. This guarantees interference-free connectivity throughout the plant, while devices that have been affected by malware can also be quarantined into separate slices, limiting security threats and preventing other devices on the network from being affected. The network can be partitioned at any point, assigning applications to different packet gateways with varying frequencies. 5G is enabling faster, more stable connectivity, and low-latency communications that make real-time data transfer possibleĥG networks can be sliced, offering flexible performance and giving enterprises the ability to secure their IoT network.Low-power consumption (up to 10 years’ battery life for low-power IoT devices).Five-nines availability (99.999% uptime).Low-latency communications (1-10 milliseconds).High data speeds (up to 10 gigabits per second).Ultra-high bandwidth capacity that allows for faster throughput.The following specifications of 5G make this new wireless technology standard ideal for Industry 4.0: 'An Enterprise Network Operator (ENO) provides safe and reliable connectivity-as-a-service, allowing industrial enterprises to digitize their business and make 5G deployment possible.' -Pod Group Click To Tweet The Benefits of 5G
