As consumer communications market saturation increases, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) are turning to the enterprise market. By recognising the potential of responding to connectivity and operational efficiency needs across multiple industries such as Manufacturing, Healthcare, Logistics, and Retail, among others, CSPs have a significant opportunity to explore new revenue streams and establish themselves as innovators for customers in these industries.
The implementation of Mobile Private Networks (MPN) for industry presents several challenges that go beyond the implementation of private connectivity. End-to-end use cases need to be delivered based on connectivity to achieve positive outcomes at the customer’s facilities. This requires knowing how to deliver E2E solutions for diverse industry needs, how to seamlessly integrate with customer’s existing infrastructures, and how to address security concerns. Furthermore, for CSPs, the production and automation of MPN solutions are critical to being able to effectively deliver scaled-down solutions in a cost-effective way.
Celfocus has defined enterprise applications and private ledgers as the cornerstone of its blockchain offer to meet the demands of enterprise clients.
Celfocus’s 5G Mobile Private Networks Offer helps CSPs address the multiple challenges of MPN implementation in the industry, from an end-to-end perspective. We partner with CSPs to provide capabilities and accelerators to address the multiple key aspects of use cases, such as:
Conduct discussions with the enterprise customer to understand specific needs, business objectives, and technical requirements on top of the connectivity. Identify the critical applications and services that will run on the MPN.
Develop specific E2E solutions according to the requirements that are crucial to the enterprise's operations. These can include apps, dashboards, service orchestration and provisioning, real-time communication tools, Internet of Things (IoT), devices, drones, or industry-specific applications.
Process data from the MPN network to perform root-cause-analysis to automatically flag incidents and problems in operational dashboards and automation frameworks to follow up and achieve a network that requires fewer resources to run.
Integrate solutions with the enterprise's existing IT infrastructure, including servers, databases, and other networking components.
Conduct testing of the use cases to ensure they function correctly within the MPN environment. Verify that the applications meet performance, security, and reliability standards.
Provide detailed documentation on the configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the use cases. Conduct training sessions for the enterprise's staff to ensure they can effectively utilise and support these customised applications.
Identify, automate and store developed assets to prepare them to be leveraged for future bespoke use cases on top of the MPN infrastructure, thereby reducing time-to-market and increasing the capacity to accommodate customer requests.
By partnering with Celfocus, CSPs can better respond to enterprise customers requesting MPN use cases in their facilities, among other advantages:
Ability to locate people, places, and assets with increased accuracy within hospital facilities, large retail stores, museums, and exhibition halls, enabling data-driven decision-making, optimising staff deployment, and improving customer navigation.
Sites without connectivity in need of private and reliable connectivity such as industrial farms, construction sites, mining operations, and oil/gas fields can be provided with high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity, essential for critical operations, data transfer, and remote management.
