Intel has teamed up with industry leaders such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cisco, NTT DATA, Ericsson, and Nokia to deploy Intel-powered private 5G solutions worldwide.
According to Gartner, more than 50 percent of enterprise-managed data is projected to be created and processed outside traditional data centers or cloud environments by 2025.
Intel’s collaboration with leading companies aims to provide customers with access to tailored private 5G solutions and vertical market deployments.
Caroline Chan, Vice President and General Manager of the Network Business Incubator Division at Intel, highlighted the significance of leveraging Intel’s product portfolio alongside its extensive ecosystem to meet diverse business requirements.
These deployments mark the culmination of years of investment, development, collaboration, and lab trials, representing a milestone in industry excellence. Through an end-to-end portfolio of hardware and software products, including processors, Ethernet, FlexRAN, OpenVINO, and 5G core software offerings, Intel aims to remove barriers, enabling operators to monetize their networks and enterprises to swiftly design and deploy intelligent private networks across various industry verticals.
The convergence of 5G, AI, and edge computing within private networks presents new opportunities for industry transformation. Private 5G networks offer customers a rapid and straightforward path to delivering high-bandwidth, low-latency compute in secure environments, essential for demanding edge workloads.
