Key Pillars
5G Smart Factory Network: Secure, low-latency, and high-availability connectivity.
Automation and IoT: Integration of equipment and systems with edge computing.
Private 5G: Connectivity for Smart Industry.
An architecture that integrates devices, networks, and applications to enable real-time operations.
Devices and Data Collection
Robots, drones, computer vision, and IoT sensors connect natively or via gateways, allowing for the integration of both modern equipment and existing infrastructure.
Private 5G Network
It serves as the communication hub, offering low latency, high availability, and massive connectivity for demanding industrial environments.
Processing and Applications
Data is processed locally for immediate response, with integration into enterprise systems and a secure connection to the cloud for scalability.
Connectivity that transforms data into real-time decisions.
Cloud Solution
IPSec + LGW
A solution that combines advanced cloud security with on-premises data processing, optimizing performance and protection in private 5G networks.
IPSec (Internet Protocol Security)
A security protocol that:
Encrypts information traveling over the network
Creates a VPN-style “secure tunnel” between sites (company – cloud – branch office)
Protects data in transit, especially on 5G networks or the public internet.
LGW (Local Gateway)
It is a local exit point within the network (for example, at a plant or industrial site).
Processes data close to where it is generated (low latency).
Prevents everything from having to go to the cloud.
Keeps critical operations running even if the external connection fails.
It processes data locally to make everything faster and more stable.
How does it work?
IPSec in the cloud: protects the 5G network control plane, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of signaling.
LGW (Local Gateway): Keeps data traffic (user plane) within the local network (LAN), preventing it from leaving for the cloud.
Key Benefits
Greater security: separation of planes and protection of critical signaling.
Low latency: local data processing with LAN-like response times.
Operational efficiency: improved network performance and operational continuity.
Better decision-making: access to
reliable, high-quality data in real time.
