What is a Private 5G Network?
Private 5G networks are autonomous, customized infrastructures deployed on-site, using components like public mobile networks but with complete control by the organization.
- Developed by 3GPP, like traditional mobile networks.
- They include base stations, SIMs or eSIMs, a core network, and local orchestration.
- They can be built entirely on-site, without cloud components.
- An alternative to carrier virtual networks, which depend on the operator's infrastructure and offer less control.
- The local network allows for greater security, faster response times, and cost control.
Differences between Wi-Fi and Private 5G
Wi-Fi is widely compatible and cost-effective, ideal for traditional devices, while 5G focuses on environments requiring mobility, extensive coverage, security, and prioritization.
- Wi-Fi supports legacy devices and has an established ecosystem.
- 5G is better suited for mobile applications, outdoor environments, and IoT devices with high security and performance demands.
- Outdoors, 4G/5G offers greater range and stability.
- Comparisons show that 5G can offer higher speeds and less variability in response over longer distances.
Private 5G networks should offer
- Similar functionalities to Wi-Fi, with local control, easy integration, and efficient management.
- On-site installable components without cloud dependency.
- Use of existing resources and minimal training.
- Reuse of Cat cabling and PoE switches.
- IP segmentation using VLANs or access lists, integrable with the LAN infrastructure.
- The network should integrate with the IT network, enabling NAT and tunneling.
- Easy APN/DNN configuration and VLAN mapping.
- User-friendly, Wi-Fi-like management interface for configuration and monitoring.
- Customizable events and alarms, with integration into existing systems.
- Open APIs for integration with orchestration platforms.
- No additional costs for connecting new devices.
- Organization-controlled infrastructure, with the option to outsource specific functions.

Stranded Fibre Rollout
Existing housing estates where Fibre rollout has become too costly to deploy
mmW Deployments
Operators making the most of available bandwidth in the mmW Spectrum
Examples of Successful Use Cases:
Garpenberg mine, Boliden, Sweden
The Challenge
Due to the remote location of the mines in the north of Sweden, there is very little access to mobile or fixed communications. The lack of reliable communications presents challenges in modernising mining processes, such as safety, compliance and self-driving vehicles. Boliden also wanted to explore Private 5G for strategic reasons.
The Solution
Radtonics has deployed an enterprise 5G network featuring high levels of redundancy in both capacity and coverage.
Fiskarheden Sawmill, Fiskarheden, Sweden
The Challenge
Fiskarheden was a manually operated sawmill in the north of Stockholm. The CIO at the sawmill, wanted increased autonomy and digitization of the processes and ways of working at the plant. After installing 48 WiFi routers to improve connectivity he realised it was not the way forward.
The Solution
With a 5G network, Fiskarheden took the next step in digitalization to achieve use cases not possible in the WiFi network. The 5G network provides a solution enabling Fiskarheden to be one of Europe’s top 5 most digitalized sawmills.
Residential Development
GemLife Resorts with Prospecta, Australia
The Challenge
GemLife is an over-50s lifestyle resort developer creating high-end residential estates along the East Coast of Australia. GemLife used a traditional connectivity solution deploying fibre to each resident within its estates. This practice puts limitations to their cost structure.
The Solution
Radtonics is to rollout an Enterprise Network to provide all residents with internet services. The network will be offered direct, but also wholesaled to ISPs, providing homeowners access to a broad range of competitive retail offerings.
Examples of Successful Use Cases:
Recommendations for evaluating whether a private 5G network is suitable:
- Analyze use cases, devices, and security requirements.
- Review whether the current Wi-Fi infrastructure can be upgraded or if 5G is required.
- Estimate the traffic and bandwidth required per application.
- Perform radio planning and define the IP plan.
- Request industrial spectrum in countries with this process, where you have control and ownership of the spectrum.
- Decide on delivery, installation, operation, and support.
- Consider redundancy, battery backup, and compatibility with existing devices.
We have extensive experience in helping customers with these questions throughout the entire process, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.
