Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise targets IoT, industrial networks with private 5G package

The service will include support for Celona’s MicroSlicing and Aerloc technologies. MicroSlicing ensures application Quality of Service (QoS) features and guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs) over the wireless network, while Aerloc provides reliable service and policy enforcement for business-critical applications, according to Celona. 

The ALE Private 5G service could be used by large enterprise customers but is targeted at complex industrial settings such as manufacturing, refineries, logistics warehouses, and other hard-to-network spaces, according to ALE. “The Private 5G solution offers large-area wireless coverage, secure and reliable high-speed mobility, supporting real-time, critical industrial applications,” ALE stated.

This package supports networked IoT devices and applications that demand ultra-low latency and deterministic performance such as autonomous guided vehicles, robotics, HD video analytics and augmented/virtual reality, the companies stated.
