The Impact of Private 5G on Enterprises

Intel IT is using 5G private networks to address real challenges in our factories, from improving connectivity in remote areas to enabling predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring. These advancements are helping reduce downtime and drive efficiency, with an expected $35 million net present value over five years.     By integrating IoT sensors and secure, reliable 5G infrastructure, we’re making it easier for technicians to access critical systems and enabling equipment to perform at its best. This approach is transforming how we support modern manufacturing and demonstrates the potential of private 5G for industrial environments.     Explore the full white paper to see how Intel IT is transforming factory operations with 5G private networks.     #IAmIntel #IntelBusiness 

🚜 Why John Deere is Betting Big on Private 5G Instead of Rushing to 6G At John Deere, innovation is about creating lasting value—not chasing the latest trends. While the tech world buzzes about the future of 6G, their CTO, Jahmy Hindman, has a clear message: we’re not in a rush. Here’s why: 🔸 Private 5G is Built to Last: Since 2020, JD has been laying the foundation for private 5G networks across our facilities in Iowa and Illinois. This investment ensures robust bandwidth and low latency to power our operations for years to come. As Jahmy puts it, "For a relatively modest investment, you can create an architecture that will stand the test of time." 🔸 Purpose-Driven Tech Adoption: Before embracing 5G, they transitioned from paper-based processes to fixed Ethernet and Wi-Fi systems. Now, with private 5G covering 80% of their facilities, JD is introducing cutting-edge tools like smart torque wrenches—just the beginning of what’s possible. 🔸 Strategic Patience with 6G: While 6G is expected to roll out commercially by 2030, Jahmy predicts they’ll adopt it midway through its lifecycle. Why? Because JD's current infrastructure already meets today’s needs and allows them to focus on delivering real value rather than chasing hype. In 2025 alone, they’re investing $1.7 million in updated smart tools to enhance efficiency and precision on the factory floor. This isn’t just about connectivity—it’s about empowering the people and processes to deliver better results for farmers worldwide. At John Deere, innovation isn’t about being first; it’s about being right for the long haul. 🌾 What's your take on this? #BellLabsConsulting

Newmont’s Cadia gold-copper mine in New South Wales, teleremote dozing is now supported by Ericsson Private 5G. 💡The deployment replaces unstable Wi-Fi that previously limited connectivity to just two machines within 100 meters. Now, the operation can connect multiple bulldozers across a 2.5 km area with uplink speeds reaching 175 Mbps. 👉 Ericsson 5G Antenna Integrated Radio, equipped with massive multiple input and multiple output, and powered by Ericsson Silicon, helps deliver consistent coverage and performance across wide distances. This setup supports real-time control and improves operational efficiency while reducing downtime caused by signal dropouts. 📡 This solution aligns with Newmont’s long-term digital goals and provides a more stable, scalable approach to smart mining. Private 5G is steadily showing its value in industrial use cases that demand reliability, coverage, and performance. ❓ What are some other industries where private 5G could help solve real operational challenges? 🔍 #5G #Mining #Industry #Connectivity #Innovation
