Promoting private 5G networks in vertical industries is challenging for various reasons. To address this diverse market, China Unicom based its ecosystem-based platform for network operations on cloud architecture to offer verticals a differentiated, customized end-to-end 5G private network service to meet their specific needs. This is critical because different sectors – from manufacturing to hospitals, electricity generators, and schools – use 5G services differently, needing different service parameters. They also have higher expectations in terms of network service level agreements and service quality. Yet in today’s market, enterprises cannot select and manage network capabilities on typical private 5G networks to meet their business needs. For example, it is difficult to guarantee differentiated services, while construction and activation processes are long and difficult, as is configuring network capabilities. It is also hard to master business processes, the network status is invisible, and it takes too much time to detect faults.
