New Private 5G Campus Network in Kraków Boosts Industry 4.0 Potential
A new step toward Poland’s digital transformation has arrived. GlobalLogic, in partnership with mobile operator Plus and technology provider Ericsson, has launched an independent private 5G campus network at its Kraków facility. This deployment not only enhances Industry 4.0 readiness but also demonstrates the growing need for secure, real-time industrial connectivity.
Why Public Networks Fall Short for Industrial 5G Needs
Enterprises are under pressure to modernize and digitize operations. However, existing public mobile networks often fall short of delivering the low latency, high reliability, and data privacy that industrial environments demand. Organizations require dedicated network infrastructure that can support:
- Real-time AI-driven analytics
- Secure handling of sensitive data
- Industrial automation with minimal delay
- Resilience in mission-critical environments
How the Ericsson Private 5G Network Powers Industrial Use Cases
To address these needs, the three companies deployed the Ericsson Private 5G solution at GlobalLogic’s Kraków campus. The network operates independently, ensuring full control over data, high performance, and tailored configurations for specific industrial use cases. This solution allows GlobalLogic to:
- Run Artificial Intelligence-based analytics
- Perform real-time video analysis
- Manage assets intelligently
- Prototype and deploy next-generation industrial applications
GlobalLogic’s 5G Experience in AI, Video, and Telemetry
GlobalLogic isn’t new to the game. The company already develops AI-based tools for:
- Network traffic analysis and anomaly detection
- Telemetry and real-time monitoring
- Drone-based video analytics for automotive and industrial sectors
This deployment builds on their prior experience, including earlier Private 5G integrations at Hitachi Rail sites in the U.S. It also reinforces Poland’s commitment to industrial modernization using Private Networks.
Inside the Ericsson-Powered Private 5G Architecture
At the core of the solution is Ericsson’s Private 5G network, powered by a dual-core server setup. This architecture provides:
- High-speed local processing
- Minimal latency
- Enhanced network security for sensitive data
- Reliable connectivity tailored for industrial applications
This setup is ideal for rapid deployments that require local data protection systems and intelligent automation.
Key Benefits of On-Site Private 5G for Industry 4.0
The benefits of this deployment are both immediate and strategic:
- Faster time to innovation with on-premise 5G
- Improved data control and regulatory compliance
- Predictive maintenance using AI and real-time telemetry
- Scalable foundation for future Industry 4.0 applications
- Stronger security for critical operations
What Poland’s Private 5G Means for Key Industrial Sectors
This launch is a milestone for industries adopting smart manufacturing, logistics automation, and remote equipment management. The network enables GlobalLogic to prototype and scale IoT-driven and AI-powered systems that meet modern industrial demands.
Industries likely to benefit include:
Plus Leads Poland’s Enterprise 5G Rollout
Plus is playing a key role in deploying independent 5G networks for enterprise clients across Poland. This project represents the first in a broader roadmap announced earlier this year. For Plus, it’s more than infrastructure—it’s about enabling a digital ecosystem that businesses can trust.
How Ericsson and GlobalLogic Enable Scalable 5G Innovation
Ericsson delivers the technical foundation: a robust, secure, and scalable Private Network platform tailored for enterprise use.
GlobalLogic brings real-world use cases, systems integration, and application development that showcases the network’s capabilities.
Together, the trio forms a strong alliance focused on industrial digitization through private 5G.
Timeline: From 5G Planning to Kraków Campus Deployment
As of October 2025, the network is fully deployed and operational at GlobalLogic’s Kraków campus. Early use cases are being developed, with testing already underway for:
- Remote vehicle control systems
- Real-time video analysis applications
- Predictive asset management tools
- Q1 2025: Plus and Ericsson announce plan for independent private 5G deployments
- Q3 2025: Deployment planning with GlobalLogic
- October 2025: First network goes live in Kraków
- 2026 onward: Expansion to other enterprise facilities and verticals
