Conference Private 5G Networks Opportunities and Challenges

In the realm of private 5G networks, Systemics-PAB positions itself within the consulting–implementation–services triangle. Founded 35 years ago, the company has spent the past decade providing services such as mobile network quality measurements across Europe, Africa, Asia, and even Australia. It was also one of the suppliers of 5G laboratories for Polish universities under the EU PL 5G project, which aimed to stimulate R&D activities and enhance ICT engineering education in Poland.

Systemics’s equipment is used in the Modena Automotive Smart Area project, enabling 5G connectivity for autonomous vehicles in the city. The company also contributed to pilot radio planning at the Port of Djibouti. One of its notable innovations is mobile crisis management equipment, designed to quickly establish connectivity. The portability of this solution is highlighted by its compact size – the smallest version fits in a backpack.

Systemics identifies three main categories of barriers to the rapid deployment of private 5G networks: technical, business, and entry barriers.

Technical barriers involve regulatory constraints on radio network coverage, such as transmission power limits and insufficient antenna height.
Business barriers include the restriction to data transmission services only, the mismatch between radio network characteristics and the FWA access parameters required in EU projects, and limited traffic exchange capabilities.

Entry barriers stem from the perception of 5G as merely “better Wi-Fi,” a lack of educational initiatives, and insufficient financial support for early adopters.
