Siemens Expands 5G Infrastructure in the US and 7 New Countries

[Ahmet Ö.]

Siemens is rolling out its industrial-grade private 5G infrastructure in the US and seven additional countries. The new radio units cover the 3.8–4.2 GHz frequency band and the US-specific CBRS band, extending the infrastructure to a total of 15 countries.

The CBRS band radio unit allows manufacturers in the US to set up Siemens' private 5G network in their own facilities. This enables connectivity in industrial sectors such as manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, intralogistics, heavy industry, and crane operations.

Siemens has also updated its 5G routers with edge runtime capabilities, allowing applications to run on the device. This makes real-time, AI-ready data processing possible in the factory environment.

The company's private 5G infrastructure was developed with industrial use cases, operational needs, OT cybersecurity, and end-users in mind. The infrastructure offers an end-to-end solution and provides in-plant wireless network management without reliance on third-party service providers or mobile network operators. It is also integrated into the Siemens IT/OT environment as part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
