There is a growing demand from large enterprises for private 5G networks that span multiple locations and are cost-effective and uniformly managed by a single provider. This represents a shift away from traditional one-off, siloed and premises-specific networks that often involve multiple suppliers across different geographies. Deutsche Telekom has developed a proof of concept (PoC) that showcases the potential of 5G standalone (SA) and strategic vendor partnerships to fulfill this emerging market demand.
This case study provides:
- details of the key drivers influencing Deutsche Telekom’s PoC and its ongoing commercialisation
- insights into Deutsche Telekom’s approach for the PoC
- an overview of the key lessons learned and what the next steps following the PoC will be.
