Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced that it is extending its leadership in enterprise connectivity with capabilities for private networking across both 5G and Wi-Fi, enabling new enterprise and industrial applications from edge to cloud.
Pre-integrated with radio access capabilities from leading vendors, the private 5G solution can be deployed quickly, flexibly and as a service with HPE GreenLake.
“Data growth is creating countless new opportunities across many industries, but superfast, stable and secure connectivity is essential to enable these digital experiences,” said Tom Craig, VP and general manager, HPE Communications Technology Group.
Enterprises are increasingly looking at the promise of a customised 5G experience for low-latency, dedicated capacity, extended range and security across campus and industrial environments, whilst complementing existing Wi-Fi networks.
While 5G far surpasses Wi-Fi in terms of wide area coverage, Wi-Fi has an edge when it comes to cost-effective, indoor connectivity, the company said in a statement.
“With our leadership in both enterprise and cellular connectivity, HPE is the perfect partner to help customers deploy private networks that are future proofed for today’s data-first reality. Together, HPE’s private 5G solution and Aruba Wi-Fi technology promises a complete private networking solution that helps to optimize the working environment, as well as giving telcos new opportunities to grow their enterprise business,” added Craig.
The private 5G solution from HPE is based on HPE 5G Core Stack, an open, cloud-native, container-based 5G core network solution, which has been enriched with new capabilities for private networking including modular operation and automation, an enterprise self-service portal, agile configuration and change management.
The solution supports a range of deployment types based on customer needs, including military, shipping and oil and gas.
The combination of HPE’s private 5G solution together with Aruba wireless technologies enables telcos and enterprises to extend Wi-Fi with private cellular networking.
