HPE has introduced a 5G solution complete thought for the deployment of private and customized 5G networks for companies. The solution comes pre-integrated with radio access capabilities from leading vendors, and is designed to enable rapid, flexible network deployment as a service with HPE GreenLake.
This private 5G solution from HPE is based on HPE 5G Core Stack, an open, cloud-native, container-based 5G network solution. New capabilities for the private network have been added to it, such as automation and modular operation options and an enterprise self-service portal. It has a configuration and change management prepared to be agile.
The tool in charge of managing your automated operations is HPE Service Directorwhich offers a self-service portal for business users, and an advanced portal for service provider administrators.
This solution meets the needs of companies looking for a personalized 5G experience with which to achieve low latency, dedicated capacity and more range and security in their headquarters and industrial environments. All this complementing existing Wi-Fi networks, because although 5G surpasses Wi-Fi in coverage of large areas, Wi-Fi technology is better if a more cost-efficient connectivity is sought inside. And thanks to HPE private 5G technology, customers can combine the best of both worlds and work with both private 5G and Wi-Fi.
The new 5G solution for the creation of private 5G networks for companies supports different deployment modes, depending on the needs of each company or area. For example, in the case of the creation of networks for the implementation of strategic or remote operations, such as maritime transport or fuel such as oil or gas, as well as for military operations, the solution offers a completely autonomous deployment with the system HPE Edgeline EL8000 Converged Edge. This is equipped with third generation Intel Xeon processors.
On the other hand, in the event that the key to the network has to be low latency due to having to operate with critical applications, something that happens in healthcare environments, the 5G solution can be distributed in a hybrid cloud, with user functions stored at the edge, and those of control in the cloud.
By combining HPE’s private 5G solution with Aruba wireless technologies, businesses will be able to extend their Wi-Fi with private mobile networks, as HPE private solutions have been designed to work together with Aruba Wi-Fi networks and be able to use technologies such as Aruba AirPasswhich automates both Wi-Fi and 5G roaming.
In addition, this private 5G solution from HPE carries pre-integrated 5G radio access network (RAN) solutions from leading providers, which will allow customers to carry out end-to-end 5G network deployments. These already integrated partner technologies, such as those from Airspan Networks, have already been taken over with the HPE Core Stack at HPE’s 5G Lab in Fort Collins, Colorado. The company plans to reach more agreements with radio partners in the coming months, to incorporate them into this private 5G solution.
HPE 5G Core Stack for Private 5G, as well as Aruba Wi-Fi solutions, are available with HPE GreenLake, and when deploying 5G and Private Wi-Fi they offer low risk, low initial investment, and the ability to scale on demand.
Tom Craig, Vice President and General Manager of HPE Communications Technology Grouphas pointed out that «the Data growth is creating countless new opportunities in many industries, but super-fast, stable, and secure connectivity is essential to making these digital experiences possible. With our leadership in enterprise and mobile connectivity, HPE is the perfect partner to help customers deploy future-proof private networks for today’s data realities. Together, HPE’s private 5G solution and Aruba’s Wi-Fi technology promise a complete private network solution that helps optimize work environments, as well as offering telcos new opportunities to grow their enterprise business.”
