5G-Advanced for Private Networks.
Private 5G-Advanced is expected to have its own spectrum by 2026 to enable mission-critical communications. With Rel-18, 5G-Advanced is promising 99.99999% reliability, 1 ms latency in URLLC, and 10 Gbps throughput in private 5G networks. Existing licenses like CBRS and n78 are available to enable factory and campus networks. Network slicing is also possible to provide isolated communications up to 100 slices in a network. Private 5G from Ericsson is already live in 500+ sites, and BMW is using it to manage automated guided vehicles with sub-5 ms timing accuracy.
