Deutsche Telekom and Microsoft partner and trial private 5G networks for pharmaceutical enterprise

DT's new offer has standardized 5G campus network solutions. The end-to-end solution is based on Microsoft Azure's private MEC platform, featuring an edge platform and networking capabilities that will allow your business to utilize modern connected applications. This concept was specifically designed with small and medium businesses in mind, as well as those who already have an established landscape of Azure products at their disposal.
Deutsche Telekom and Microsoft partner and trial private 5G networks for pharmaceutical enterprise

Deutsche Telekom and Microsoft have announced a partnership to build private 5G networks, referred to as 5G campus networks. The first pilot project has been successfully launched with a large pharmaceutical firm in Germany.

Pay-as-you-grow model


By introducing a pay-as-you-grow model and price plans, Deutsche Telekom is now providing an even stronger portfolio of 5G private networks for industrial use throughout Europe. This lowers the barriers to entry for those looking to deploy their own 5G campus networks, making it more accessible than ever before.

By capitalizing on Microsoft Azure private MEC and their new 5G Core service, implemented on Azure Stack Edge, DT’s solution provides customers with a secure and reliable network across multiple sites. The newly developed concept integrates existing and new applications to deliver secured cloud-managed solutions at the edge swiftly.

End-to-end solution for customers

Deutsche Telekom plans to provide its customers with a comprehensive private network build-out, from the planning stages all the way through building it using Azure services. Radio access networks and operations are included as part of this managed service package, along with robotics, video analytics, and Internet of Things implementations that have been validated by their ISV (Independent Software Vendor) program for Azure private MEC. By putting together an end-to-end service for business clients based on customer-specific needs, DT creates high-quality, tailored solutions prepared specifically for them.

Last year, Deutsche Telekom and Microsoft teamed up to trial a new private 5G network solution in the laboratory of Bonn, Germany. As a next step – now they’ve taken their partnership one step further by launching a field trial with a leading pharmaceutical organization based in Germany. The pharmaceutical organization is putting the power of 5G to use for various objectives, such as remote maintenance through AR glasses and object recognition on forklifts within warehouses for stock monitoring and automatic barcode scanning purposes.

According to Hagen Rickmann, Managing Director of Business Customers at Deutsche Telekom in Germany, the new 5G campus network solution makes it simple and affordable for customers of all sizes – from small to medium businesses to those with an existing Microsoft Azure landscape -to access 5G technology and embrace digitalization. This comprehensive yet flexible solution ensures every business can reap the advantages of utilizing 5G technology.

With the German industry taking the lead on Industry 4.0 Transformation, Microsoft is thrilled to assist Deutsche Telekom in offering complete solutions that include a private cloud-managed network and an extensive selection of Modern Connected Apps. Businesses will reap the rewards from these ready-to-deploy applications over-optimized networks, allowing them to expedite their transformation process – as Shriraj Gaglani, VP of Product Management at Microsoft, noted.

The 4.44.94 GHz range offers the cleanest mix of technical performance, policy feasibility, and global alignment to move the U.S. ahead in 6G. Midband is where 6G will scale, and 4 GHz sits in the sweet spot. A contiguous 500 MHz block supports wide channels (100 MHz+), strong uplink, and macro coverage comparable to C-Band, but with more spectrum headroom. That translates into better spectral efficiency and a lower total cost per bit for nationwide deployments while still enabling dense enterprise and edge use cases.
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 12.1 Orion steps into this gap with a quantum-ready roadmap, a unified multicloud security fabric, expanded AI-driven protections and a new generation of next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) designed for data centers, branches and industrial edge. The release also pushes management into a single operational plane via Strata Cloud Manager, targeting lower operating cost and faster incident response. PAN-OS 12.1 automatically discovers workloads, applications, AI assets and data flows across public cloud and hybrid environments to eliminate blind spots. It continuously assesses posture, flags misconfigurations and exposures in real time and deploys protections in one click across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Beijing’s first World Humanoid Robot Games is more than a spectacle. It is a live systems trial for embodied AI, connectivity, and edge operations at scale. Over three days at the Beijing National Speed Skating Oval, more than 500 humanoid robots from roughly 280 teams representing 16 countries are competing in 26 events that span athletics and applied tasks, from soccer and boxing to medicine sorting and venue cleanup. The games double as a staging ground for 5G-Advanced (5G-A) capabilities designed for uplink-intensive, low-latency, high-reliability robotics traffic. Indoors, a digital system with 300 MHz of spectrum delivers multi-Gbps peaks and sustains uplink above 100 Mbps.
stc 5G powered the Esports World Cup with 1,295 antennas and 285 MHz spectrum, delivering broadcast-grade uplink, low latency, and reliable performance.
More than $14 billion has been invested across the CBRS stacklicenses, RAN, devices, infrastructure, sensors, and software. Over 420,000 CBRS radio nodes (CBSDs) are in service. The device ecosystem is broad: Apple and Samsung ship n48-capable handsets; industrial and FWA suppliers support n48 CPEs and routers; Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, JMA Wireless and others provide radio and DAS. This is not a pilot; it is production infrastructure. Refarming would force replacement or retuning of hundreds of thousands of base stations and millions of end devices, plus upgrades to SAS integrations and enterprise control planes.
A leading power utility in EMEA has tapped Ceragon to refresh its nationwide missioncritical communications backbone with highpower microwave, signaling a broader acceleration in utility OT network upgrades. The multiphase program, initiated earlier in 2025, is expected to deliver approximately $8 million in revenue for Ceragon and centers on replacing endoflife systems and scaling capacity across a countrywide private network. Following a detailed technical assessment led by a regional solutions provider, the utility selected Ceragons radios over competing global vendors.
