Private 5G What is private 5G network?
Private 5G allows enterprises to deploy dedicated cellular resources based on the latest 3GPP standards for mobile networks. It complements Wi‑Fi to provide a customized experience under enterprise control, over large areas, and with dedicated resources—supporting deterministic mobility, and latency-sensitive applications.

Private 5G vs 5G explained
5G is the fifth generation of cellular technology and is based on 3GPP standards. It builds on the innovation of 4G (also known as LTE) to significantly increase speed, reduce latency, and improve the flexibility of wireless services to better serve consumers and digitalize businesses. End user devices must be 5G compatible to run on 5G networks since the standard is not backwards compatible.
Private 5G leverages the same technology standard as public 5G. However, the "private" in private 5G signifies that the cellular network is deployed to meet the needs of a specific enterprise, under control and with dedicated access to private resources. It offers greater reliability and security since the resources are dedicated to a specific entity. Unlike Wi-Fi which uses unlicensed spectrum, private 5G relies on a network slice from a public network or lightly licensed spectrum such as CBRS
