Industry 4.0
- Leveraging hybrid capabilities to enable PEN
- Template-based approach for cross-SMB or industry-specific re-use
Factory automation and private networks too offer significant 5G revenue potential – especially since increased productivity translates into a fast ROI.
At a connected factory or campus, numerous devices will need to be connected across facilities, with each being allocated the specific network performance it requires. For example:
- Sensors: low throughput + high density
- CCTV: high throughput + analytics at the edge to identify issues in real time
- Remote operations: ultra-reliable low latency (single digit)
Additional offerings could then potentially be made available via a marketplace, enabled by a self-ordering engagement model. Such a model would need to be supported by on-demand CNFs/VNFs and network resources (e.g. to enable premium connectivity for offsite workers or for supporting emergency scenarios), as well as multiple partner offerings.
From a user experience perspective, network and service status are exposed to IT managers in real time, providing a live view of resource and connected device performance, as well as associated costs and implications. This type of real-time transparency is key to empowering informed self-service actions by customers and partners.
