Deutsche Telekom Introduces 5G Campus Network Service Across Europe

Together with telecom titan Ericsson, Deutsche Telekom has extended its campus network portfolio, in addition to offering a location-specific 5G mobile networks for companies based on 5G Standalone Technology (5G SA).

As such, the new campus network offering is based on a local 5G infrastructure that is exclusively available for the customer’s digital applications. The 5G SA technology works without LTE anchors and offers all the technical advantages of the new mobile communications standard – even for particularly demanding and safety-critical use cases: fast data transmission rates, maximum network capacity and highly reliable connectivity with low latency.

Deutsche Telekom and Ericsson, with the advanced 5G SA technology, support companies from a wide range of industries in developing innovative digital applications and making existing processes more efficient.

Customers can adapt their private 5G SA network flexibly according to their own requirements as well as manage it independently: Whether for real-time communication of robots in factories or for connecting automated vehicles on company premises. Customers can prioritize data traffic within their campus network for specific applications as needed.

It is worth mentioning that Deutsche Telekom was offering campus network solutions for enterprises since the beginning of 2019 and by now operates more than ten of such local networks based on 5G non-standalone technology or LTE across Germany.

With the new fully private 5G SA Campus network solution, the company is expanding its business customer offering with the next development stage of 5G. The new product is being launched in Germany from now on under the name “Campus-Netz Private” – and is also offered to business customers in further European countries. For interested customers, mobile Campus 5G SA test systems are available to test their own use cases on site.

“When it comes to digitalization, industry and SMEs need a reliable partner,” says Hagen Rickmann, Managing Director Business Customers at Telekom Deutschland GmbH.

“Together with Ericsson, we help business customers in every industry to increase their productivity and exploit their full potential using 5G standalone technology,” he noted.

Arun Bansal, Executive Vice President and Head of Market Area Europe & Latin America at Ericsson says: “Deutsche Telekom and Ericsson share a long-standing partnership in innovation, technology and services. Together, we offer secure, reliable and high-performance network solutions tailored to the specific business needs of our customers.”
