What is AWS Private 5G?
AWS Private 5G enables organizations to operate their own private mobile network on their premises. AWS delivers the complete network infrastructure: small cell radios, a managed core network, SIM cards, and management software. You define the coverage and capacity, AWS provisions the hardware and manages the network.
The private network operates independently of public mobile networks and provides dedicated bandwidth, low latency, and full control over connected devices. It is suitable for manufacturing floors, logistics centers, campuses, and other environments where Wi-Fi reaches its limits.
Core Features
- Managed Infrastructure: AWS delivers and manages radio units and core network
- SIM Management: Management of SIM cards and device permissions via the Console
- Automatic Configuration: Plug-and-play setup of radio units
- AWS Integration: Direct access to AWS services (IoT, edge computing) from the private network
- Dedicated Bandwidth: No competition with public mobile networks
Typical Use Cases
Industrial Automation: Connect machines, sensors, and robots in your manufacturing facility via a dedicated private network. Low latency and high reliability are critical for real-time control.
Logistics and Warehousing: Connect mobile devices, scanners, and autonomous vehicles in large warehouses. A private mobile network offers better coverage and handover performance than Wi-Fi.
Campus Connectivity: Connect buildings, outdoor areas, and mobile devices on a corporate campus via a unified private mobile network.
