Siemens is bringing its industrial-grade private 5G infrastructure to the USA and seven additional countries. Thanks to two newly developed radio units covering the 3.8–4.2 GHz and US-specific CBRS bands, Siemens' solution will now operate in a total of 15 countries across Europe and the Americas.
The private CBRS band radio unit allows manufacturers in the US to deploy Siemens' private 5G network entirely independently within their own facilities. This infrastructure can be used in many sectors, including manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, intralogistics, heavy industry, and crane operations.
### Innovations in Siemens Private 5G Infrastructure
- Applications can run directly on the device thanks to edge runtime features integrated into 5G routers.
- This feature provides real-time and AI-ready data processing without the need for additional hardware.
### The Connectivity Challenge in Modern Manufacturing
As AI use in factories increases, data volumes are growing rapidly. License-free Wi-Fi frequencies, which are prone to overload in industrial environments, are no longer sufficient. Siemens' private 5G infrastructure provides seamless and reliable connectivity for businesses using licensed spectrum.
Axel Lorenz, CEO of Siemens Process Automation, emphasizes, "The industrial world deserves a 5G solution that speaks its language," highlighting that they will enable manufacturers to build secure and robust digital backbones within their facilities, under their own control.
### A Solution Designed by Industry, For Industry
Siemens' private 5G infrastructure has been developed with industrial use cases, operational requirements, and OT cybersecurity in mind. This allows businesses to set up their own wireless networks without dependence on third-party providers or mobile operators.
The system supports automation protocols like PROFINET, and upload and download capacities can be adjusted (TDD patterns). It can be configured with approximately 20 parameters on a user-friendly web-based panel. Certified by Germany's certification body TÜV, the system supports wireless PROFIsafe communication, making it suitable for safety applications.
### Countries Where Private 5G Infrastructure Will Be Available
- Newly Added: Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Norway, Poland, United Kingdom
- USA: Available in Summer 2026
- Existing: Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland
### Integrated Industrial Connectivity Portfolio
Industrial 5G is one of the cornerstones of AI-powered manufacturing. Siemens will present comprehensive industrial connectivity solutions at Hannover Messe 2026. This portfolio includes wired and wireless networks, switching and routing, industrial power supplies, and OT network management, diagnostics, and cybersecurity solutions.
SITOP industrial power supplies provide reliable energy to critical communication and automation infrastructure, while SINEC Secure Connect manages network security with a zero-trust approach. With SINEC Advanced Network Suite, a digital twin model of industrial OT networks is created, accelerating network planning and optimization. SINEC Security Suite offers holistic OT security.
With these solutions, Siemens provides a secure, scalable, and high-performance connectivity infrastructure for AI-driven industrial operations.
