Siemens Expands 5G Infrastructure to the US and 7 More Countries

[Cengiz Özemli]

Siemens is expanding its private 5G infrastructure, developed for industrial use, to the US and seven additional countries. The new radio units cover the 3.8–4.2 GHz bands and the US-specific CBRS band, enabling the infrastructure to be used in a total of 15 countries across Europe and America.

Thanks to the CBRS band radio unit offered for the US, manufacturers can set up private 5G networks in their own facilities. This infrastructure serves various industrial sectors such as manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, intralogistics, heavy industry, and crane operations.

Additionally, Siemens has updated its 5G routers with edge runtime capabilities. This allows applications to run directly on the device, enabling real-time, AI-powered data processing.

Siemens' private 5G infrastructure was designed with industrial use cases, operational requirements, OT cybersecurity, and user needs in mind. The infrastructure stands out as an end-to-end solution offering on-premise wireless network operation without reliance on third-party providers or mobile operators. It can be integrated into the IT/OT environment as part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
