Panasonic announced on Friday that it would make private 5G networks available to its European customers. The idea here is to meet connectivity needs, in the event that traditional networks are no longer suitable.
For users, and here more specifically businesses, the need for fast and secure connectivity has increased in recent years. The arrival of 5G is, for many, considered real progress, but it has its limits, like any technology. Panasonic thus unveiled, this Friday April 5, 2024, an initiative aimed at making private 5G networks easy to install and operate in Europe. It was on its campus in Munich that the company opened its first test environment.
Panasonic touts private 5G networks
It is in partnership with 5G-as-a-service providers that Panasonic offers to test fully personalized private 5G networks, touting “ultra-low” latency.
These networks therefore offer faster response times, ever more efficient download speeds (upload and download) and increased connection reliability.
Panasonic proposes here to simplify the installation, configuration and maintenance of private 5G networks. This mechanism is demonstrated at the Customer Experience Center on the Panasonic campus in Munich. The Japanese company has installed two cells on site, which allow its customers and partners to test the capabilities of private 5G networks.
A desire for simplification at all levels
During their visit, Panasonic customers, as well as third-party manufacturers and software developers, will be able to test 5G applications and devices in a real environment, to optimize their products. They will benefit, in turn, from improved security and control thanks to private networks, with advanced encryption and speeds precisely optimized for applications.
Panasonic hopes to simplify the sometimes complex relationship between software, hardware and connectivity. The transportation, construction, manufacturing and logistics sectors could benefit from this, as they have every interest in connecting their multiple devices to a single private network.
The Japanese company explains that organizations dissatisfied with traditional networks or public 5G could more easily be seduced by the opportunity of private 5G networks. These could represent the future of professional connection to the services of companies and their users.
