Industry 4.0

Cumucore, with partners Qualcomm, Node-H, Askey, and Mitsubishi Electric, demonstrated Time-Sensitive Networking over private 5G with 200-nanosecond clock synchronization accuracy, enabling deterministic wireless coordination for collaborative robots, AMRs, drones, and other Physical AI systems without wired Industrial Ethernet.
NTT DATA scaled a fully managed, AI-powered private 5G network across more than 50 Cargill manufacturing and processing sites worldwide, built on Celona's 5G LAN platform, supporting connected workers, SAP modernization, and physical AI applications including Boston Dynamics' Spot robot conducting autonomous inspections in Amsterdam.
T-Mobile US expanded its Advanced Network Solutions portfolio with Edge Control and T-Platform, aiming to deliver private network-like performance over its nationwide 5G-Advanced footprint while simplifying how enterprises deploy, govern, and scale edge workloads. Edge Control enables cellular traffic to exit locally and flow directly into an enterprise’s edge compute environment, rather than traversing centralized cores or the public internet. T-Platform is T-Mobile’s customer portal for managing business services, including Edge Control. Traditional MEC offers low-latency access to hyperscaler edge zones but often relies on internet or backhaul paths that add jitter and sovereignty concerns.
India Mobile Congress 2025 in New Delhi framed a clear ambition: scale domestic innovation, shape 6G, and turn telecom into a larger engine of GDP growth. Leaders underscored a whole-of-government approach, with multiple ministries backing IMC and the Department of Telecommunications and the Cellular Operators Association of India co-hosting. India’s telecom and digital sector is estimated to contribute roughly 12–14% to GDP today. Leaders at IMC projected this could reach about 20% by the mid-2030s if India scales advanced connectivity, software-led services, and domestic manufacturing. India’s 6G push was tied to a potential GDP uplift exceeding a trillion dollars by 2035.
Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) plans to allocate 100 MHz in the 4.8 GHz range to factories and industrial estate operators to deploy non-public 5G networks under a private network operator (PNO) framework. The spectrum is to be granted on request and used solely for internal, non-commercial operations. Mobile operators may bid for PNO rights but cannot use this spectrum for public mobile service. The 4.8 GHz range sits within 3GPP Band n79, which means a relatively deep device and radio ecosystem that can lower total cost of ownership and accelerate time-to-deploy.
India’s first Private 5G Captive Non-Public Network (CNPN) is now operational at Numaligarh Refinery in Assam, thanks to BSNL and NRL. This private 5G network supports real-time IoT, AI-driven analytics, and AR/VR-based workforce training, setting a new benchmark in refinery automation and cybersecurity. A major step for Digital Assam and the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission.
Private 5G is poised to transform India’s telecom and industrial landscape, enabling Industry 4.0 through automation, AI, and ultra-reliable connectivity. At the 5GCongress, TRAI chief AK Lahoti and DoT’s Manish Sinha projected ₹4 lakh crore revenue for the telecom sector by 2026, highlighting private 5G’s critical role in enhancing machine-to-machine communication, operational efficiency, and real-time data exchange. Government support through spectrum allocation and Make in India initiatives further boosts industry momentum.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has launched its first Private 5G solution in partnership with Celona. This new offering enhances secure, low-latency connectivity across enterprise environments like manufacturing plants, ports, and campuses. Integrated with ALE’s OmniVista, OmniSwitch, and OmniAccess Stellar platforms, the network supports ultra-reliable industrial IoT applications and introduces advanced features like MicroSlicing, Aerloc, and Zero Trust Network Access.
Nokia introduces MX Context, an AI-powered sensor fusion solution that integrates multi-modal IoT data with private 5G networks for enhanced automation, efficiency, and worker safety. By eliminating data silos, MX Context provides real-time situational awareness, optimizes asset tracking, and enables low-code industrial automation. Learn how this AI-driven innovation is transforming Industry 4.0.
