Amazon has launched AWS Private 5G, a service for businesses that offers these entities the possibility of building and developing their own 4G mobile networks.
The company announced this initiative in November of last year, when the CEO of Amazon Web Services, Adam Selipsky, indicated that with this service, organizations could configure this type of network taking advantage of the 5G standard.
The executive then pointed out that AWS Private 5G would have no upfront fees or per-device costs, so customers would only pay for the network capacity and performance they needed to build their own private 5G networks.
After making it available to users with a preliminary version in the United States, the company has announced the official launch of AWS in different regions of the country, such as Ohio, Oregon and Northern Virginia.
As the company anticipates in a statement, this device, which is compatible with 4G LTE and will support 5G "in the future", it has a simple installation and is easy to operate and scale. In addition, it does not require specialized experience.
In addition, it is self-service and provides all the software and application programming interfaces (APIs) necessary for companies to configure their own mobile device with private connectivity.
The company has indicated that those interested in obtaining this solution must request the ‘hardware’ unit from AWS and, once they have received it, automate the desired configuration.
Likewise, it has announced that it charges 10 dollars per hour for each radio unit it installs and that each of them supports speeds of 150 Mps in up to 100 individual devices (SIM).
To conclude, AWS has commented that it plans to bring AWS Private 5G to other countries "in the near future"although it has not advanced in which countries this service could be available soon.
