Overview
Ericsson Private 5G is Ericsson's full-stack private cellular product for enterprises, combining Ericsson radios and basebands, an on-premises controller with a dual-mode 4G/5G core, and a cloud-based Network Management Portal (NMP).[1] Ericsson describes it as built to cover large indoor and outdoor areas for industrial sites such as manufacturing, mining, ports, energy utilities and airports.[1][2] Ericsson says sensitive data stays on site while management runs from the cloud, and that certified Ericsson Private 5G specialists manage end-user sites through the NMP.[2][1]
Specifications
Components
- Radio access network
- Ericsson basebands, indoor radio units and a range of radios from Radio Dots for indoor coverage to Macro Radios for large outdoor areas.[1]
- Controller
- Two controllers per site, hosting the dual-mode 4G/5G core, VPN, logging and data collection, domain proxy, SIM manager and lifecycle management.[1]
- Controller redundancy
- The two controllers act as redundant servers; session continuity allows failover between them after a hardware or software failure.[3]
- Management
- Network Management Portal, a cloud-based system for configuring controllers, basebands and radios, provisioning devices and SIMs, role-based access and analytics.[4]
Core and technology
- Core architecture
- Dual-mode core that runs 4G and 5G at the same time; for 5G it supports both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) modes.[3]
- Core location
- On premises, on the site controllers; the controllers need connections to the site's wired network and to the internet.[3]
- Multisite
- Ericsson says one core can serve distributed sites.[3]
- VPN
- AES-256 encryption with a public-key infrastructure.[3]
- Spectrum
- Ericsson cites global spectrum support across its radio range; a specific U.S. band list for this product is not published on the product page.[1]
- SAS (Spectrum Access System) arrangement
- The controller includes a domain proxy for communicating with a SAS; the SAS provider is not publicly stated.[1]
Sizing and capacity
- Deployment sizes
- Ericsson offers small, medium, large and extra-large deployment sizes.[2]
- Not publicly stated
- Coverage, device and throughput capacity
Management and integration
- Integrations
- Open APIs for IT and OT systems; the NMP integrates with syslog platforms, identity management systems and Active Directory.[2][4]
- Analytics
- NMP dashboards show uplink and downlink speeds, latency and data use per SIM card.[4]
- Offline management
- Organizations can license a local management portal to keep managing the network during a WAN outage.[4]
Commercial terms
- Advanced Management
- Optional add-on subscription that sends fault and performance data to third-party platforms and adds detailed device diagnostics.[4]
- Not publicly stated
- Base subscription and support terms
Public pricing
- Ericsson sells Advanced Management as an add-on subscription (described June 27, 2025); no list prices are published.[4]
