Siemens
Private 5G Infrastructure for Industrial Applications
Siemens has released an updated version of its private 5G infrastructure solution. The revised system enables coverage of up to 120,000 m² through the deployment of up to 24 radio units, each covering approximately 5,000 m².
The solution is now available in several countries, including Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria and Brazil. An Expansion to additional markets is planned by 2025. Siemens has also introduced the 'Scalance MUB852-1' 5G router, designed for use in control cabinet and integrated into Siemens' TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) environment.
Objectives and application areas
The private 5G infrastructure was developed to support companies in industries such as manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, heavy industry, and intralogistics in optimizing their operational connectivity. With a local installation, companies can operate their networks independently of third parties, improving data security and enabling flexible adjustments to changing requirements.
The solution provides a dedicated network infrastructure that complements conventional Wi-Fi systems in congested environments. It facilitates the integration of smart sensors and edge devices, supporting data-driven production processes.
User-friendliness and implementation
The system is characterized by simple configuration via a web interface with around 20 settings. A dashboard provides an overview of the network status, making it easy to use even for non-IT specialists.
This development in Siemens’ infrastructure offers businesses a flexible foundation for operating modern production environments, including the use of artificial intelligence and data-driven workflows.
