Enterprise communication, in future will require reliable, high performance, high bandwidth & low latency 5G networks that are devise, media and protocol agnostic. Converged core will connect mobiles as well as wired devices offering common management and provisioning interface. These private 5G networks, would converge Voice, Data, IOT & M2M communication within the enterprise and will open a plethora of applications to address diverse customer requirements. Private networks are being deployed in a wide range of industries for indoor and outdoor applications but private 5G networks will accelerate the process as every industry including mining, ports, automotive, durable goods and chemicals would need them for their digital transformation that would include IOT & M2M applications while Voice and data communication may be peripheral use cases.
Coral Air Application
Campus Deployments
Campus deployment as an extension of the enterprise PABX where Private 5G can support mobility requirements within large campus of an integrated factory with Residential blocks, Hotels, Hospitals & Institutions where some staff is on the move. Offshore drilling rigs, construction and mining sites are potential customers. Once high speed low latency network is established, it would double up for IOT & M2M applications for plant monitoring maintenance and predictive alerts regarding impending fault.
Ships and Islands
Ships / Islands and Forest guards need quick deployment of complete networks that may be backhauled on Satellite / UHF or VHF where such 5G based private networks would be an ideal choice for basic communication.
Submarines & Industries 4.0
Submarines would need it for communication as well as predictive fault alerts by use of appropriate sensors and AI algorithms. Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and real-time decision making is rapidly finding role in several mission-critical applications across many industries, including manufacturing, oil and gas, aerospace, and transportation that will require such 5G networks.
Mines & Construction Sites
Mining sites & Construction sites in far flung areas with no or limited existing telecom networks could deploy these private networks to cater for all type of reliable high-speed communication needs within the private campus. Oil rigs, Oil wells and large construction or mining areas could be ideal customer for such private network deployments. They would need high speed low latency 5G networks to use IOT devices for automated / robotic or remote managed applications that are sensitive & mission critical.
Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) Communication System
During emergency or disaster situations, especially in a country as vast & diverse like India which is highly prone to natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, coastal cyclone or manmade disasters like accidents, terrorist attacks etc., communication plays an important role in rescue and relief operations. PPDR stands for Public Protection and Disaster Relief, which clearly caters to two different but interrelated activities. Public Protection is a kind of pre mediated/ preplanned preventive action whereas Disaster Relief deals with activities to be undertaken in the aftermath of an event disrupting the public order such as a disaster.
Tactical Deployment
Battery powered, Tactical Deployments mounted on vehicle in a compact single box for quick deployment of wired and wireless service could be an ideal communication box for Disaster management teams or for defense setups. These could be housed in jeeps or ships with onboard gensets and can cover 5 to 7 Kms radius. Deployment of half a Dozen such mobile communication systems can cover a larger area seamlessly communicating between each other as part of Tactical deployment. UN peacekeeping forces or troops stationed in any part of the word can use such applications. IOT devices tightly intertwined on the 5G network will help identify, locate threats and protect critical assets as well as enhanced predictive preventive maintenance of critical equipment and services.
Disaster Management
Disaster Management is expected to cater for emergency services & rapid deployment of mobile network at sites where existing GSM network is destroyed due to natural calamity or terrorist attacks. These private networks can quickly set up reliable communication facilities that can be used by all agencies working on the site viz NGO, Red Cross, Paramilitary, Army, State departments, Fire service etc. Security agencies including Police & National Security groups will find many applications for such flexible rapidly deployable communication networks.
Railway/Metro/Airports
Utility companies, Railway stations, Airports & Accident sites will need private 5G network for support on all legacy communication including communication over Quad cable, E&M, BWT & even magneto trunks. Railway accident relief trains can provide immediate voice and data communication that will work seamlessly with their laid-out communication system. Railways could use it for specialized Train control and communication system (TCCS). It can be an enhancement over TETRA based communication systems since it will offer high bandwidth low latency communication to support video and seamless IOT devices. Metro projects, Airports, Disaster management teams will find them cost effective and far more efficient. Push to Talk (PTT) with multicast and broadcast features will be a superior technology to address these requirements.
Rural & Greenfield Deployment
Greenfield deployments in rural areas that is cost effective & quick which can help local youth to manage and run these networks on commercial basis. This will create jobs and entrepreneurs who would ensure upkeep and maintenance at remote locations. These private networks can also be used for temporary deployments in a Games village or for a temporary holiday camp or during large congregations that can be powered from solar energy.
