Enabling Scalable Private 5G with 6WIND’s Software-Defined Solution
Private 5G networks are rapidly gaining momentum as enterprises, OEMs, and solution integrators look for secure, high-performance connectivity tailored to their specific needs. However, traditional private 5G deployments often involve high-cost, hardware-heavy infrastructure that lacks flexibility and is difficult to scale.
6WIND offers a breakthrough with its software-defined Private 5G Enablement solution. Designed for integration with leading private 5G ecosystem partners such as Druid, Athonet, and AirSpan, this solution empowers organizations to deploy tailored, scalable, and cost-efficient private 5G networks.
Key Challenges in Private 5G Deployments
- Infrastructure Complexity and Cost:
Traditional deployments require multiple discrete hardware components, leading to excessive cabling, power consumption, space constraints, and management overhead. OEMs and Solution Integrators need simplified, efficient architectures. - Scalability and Flexibility:
Private 5G must adapt to a variety of deployment environments—from compact, remote setups to expansive enterprise-grade networks. Current solutions often lack the adaptability to scale up or down with ease. - Network Security:
Robust, integrated security is a must for private networks. OEMs need solutions that not only protect data and infrastructure but also meet evolving compliance requirements.
