Summary

Manufacturers operating multiple factories, warehouses and remote sites need constant real-time data to manage tremendous levels of complexity, but ensuring network performance can be challenging as it is necessary.

A scalable private 5G network can provide the backbone for manufacturers to seamlessly connect multiple sites, from high-tech production plants to remote warehouses. Standardized network architecture across all locations reduces complexity and unlocks the benefits of unified connectivity. And the improved radio capabilities of 5G makes it all possible.

The key to success is finding the right network architecture for the unique needs of each geographical environment. In this discussion, experts from Ericsson will share learnings from real-world deployments of private 5G networks across geographically dispersed manufacturing sites.

  • Understand how wireless connectivity can bridge the gaps between IT and OT
  • Learn what private 5G networks are doing to unlock unified connectivity to ensure uninterrupted data flows with built-in, zero-trust security
  • Explore three private 5G networks deployment strategies for manufacturers operating across multiple locations
