Boldyn Networks (Boldyn) has officially launched its Private 5G as a Service, a groundbreaking offering aimed at enterprise customers. This innovative service harnesses the power of Private 5G, significantly enhancing digital transformation initiatives while alleviating the financial burden associated with substantial investments and maintenance.
Investment in Private Networks
As a globally recognised leader in shared network infrastructure and Europe’s foremost provider of private networks, Boldyn is investing €300 million to promote the wider adoption of Private Networks worldwide. The newly launched Private 5G service is designed to bolster safety, elevate cybersecurity measures, and improve operational efficiency by providing more accessible and dependable connectivity.
Tailored Service Levels
The Private 5G as a Service is the first of its kind in the industry to offer four distinct service levels, enabling organisations to customise their services according to specific needs, all while benefiting from the convenience of monthly payments. These service tiers—Innovation, Digitalisation, Automation, and Mission-Critical—allow clients to explore wireless technology applications for testing 5G use cases or to gain maximum control over mission-critical operations. The offerings encompass network operations, monitoring, maintenance, annual health assessments, and spare parts management.
Enhancing Connectivity and Operational Efficiency
Private 5G enables connectivity for cutting-edge technologies such as smart machines, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, robotics, and video capabilities. This service complements Wi-Fi by ensuring reliable outdoor coverage, seamless handover for mobile assets, and increased data capacity from sensors and cameras, thereby guaranteeing high uptime for critical devices. By outsourcing Private 5G as a Service, organisations can mitigate hefty initial costs and concentrate on their core business activities rather than managing the network.
Custom Solutions for Diverse Needs
Boldyn’s offering assures enterprise clients peace of mind by tailoring technology to meet specific use case requirements. Whether for small hospitals needing dependable diagnostic controls or ports requiring complex automation, Boldyn’s tiered service model simplifies the selection of appropriate Private 5G packages. Each tier is crafted with enterprise use cases in mind, ensuring that technology aligns with business objectives and delivers tangible results.
Boosting Cybersecurity and Compliance
Private 5G enhances cybersecurity by restricting unauthorised access, significantly reducing the risk of external threats while connecting numerous users and devices to optimise operational efficiency. This service facilitates device-to-cloud communication and promotes environmental compliance through automated control of climate and lighting. Previously available only through substantial upfront investments, Private 5G as a Service now opens doors for a broader range of enterprises to reap these benefits with manageable monthly payments.
Market Trends and Customer Insights
Pablo Tomasi, Principal Analyst for Private Networks at Omdia, stated, “Omdia’s 2024 survey indicates that high deployment costs remain the primary obstacle for private network implementation. This highlights the necessity for innovative business models and a transition to operational expenditure-based purchasing to enable more enterprises to embark on their private network journey.”
Commitment to Digital Transformation
Mikko Uusitalo, CEO of Private Networks Europe at Boldyn, remarked, “This service has transformed our value proposition, allowing clients to enjoy a reliable network without significant upfront investments. Our dedicated service streamlines network operations and enhances cybersecurity, freeing clients from the need for in-house resources.”
The Port of Kemi in Finland is among the first European organisations to leverage Private 5G as a Service. Markku Rautio, CEO at the Port of Kemi, commented, “Boldyn has been instrumental in advancing our digital transformation, effectively addressing our real-time vessel and cargo management challenges, especially in extreme weather.”
