Cisco, a worldwide leader in technology, and NTT Ltd., a leading IT infrastructure and services company, announced plans to collaborate to drive Private 5G adoption across the Automotive, Logistics, Healthcare, Retail, and Public sectors.

NTT and Cisco plan to co-innovate and jointly bring to market the technology and managed services that will enable enterprise customers to deploy Private 5G successfully and achieve better business outcomes. The companies plan to accelerate edge connectivity through NTTโ€™s first-to-market, Managed Private 5G solution, combined with Intel hardware so that Cisco and NTT customers will be able to seamlessly integrate private 5G into their pre-existing LAN/WAN/Cloud infrastructure.


Together, the companies can rapidly enable critical Industry 4.0 capabilities such as push-to-talk โ€˜walkie talkieโ€™ communications, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), always-connected PCs (for digital frontline workers), machine vision (e.g., predictive maintenance, PPE detection), and more.

Cisco and NTT have already begun coordination on several customer deployments. In addition, the two companies are planning to power computer vision for product quality analysis, predictive analytics for manufacturing equipment functionality and maintenance, and autonomous vehicles for moving products on the factory floor, leveraging NTTโ€™s IoT-connected solutions.

โ€œTogether with NTT, we aim to help our enterprise customers accelerate digital transformation, with the power of 5G and Wi-Fi across IT and OT operations,โ€ said Masum Mir, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Provider Mobility, Cisco Networking. โ€œOur cloud-managed private 5G offers customers seamless integration with their Enterprise network fabric along with common policy and zero trust security architecture, helping to reduce technical, financial, and operational risks associated with managing 5G networks, so they can focus on driving business agility and efficiency.โ€

โ€œThis is a natural expansion of the cutting-edge capabilities and services NTT brings to market to help our global clients modernize their businesses. NTT and Cisco are building on our mutual commitment to building a simple to manage pure private network solution,โ€ said Shahid Ahmed, Executive Vice President, New Ventures & Innovation at NTT. โ€œAs a premier systems integrator partner to Cisco, the two companies are well positioned to deliver a secure, reliable, and future-proof private 5G network for our joint enterprise customers with global footprints.โ€

For Ciscoโ€™s Private 5G, NTT will provide network infrastructure design, deployment, run operations, use case development, device sourcing, compatibility, and end-to-end testing.
