Benefits of a dedicated 5G network
Optus works consultatively to design, build and manage your network - with a choice of Enterprise grade support options – so that you can focus on your business.
Fit for purpose - specific to your exact requirements with greater robustness, reliability and security compared with other wireless technologies.
Enhance productivity – lower latency and faster data processing closer to the edge enable a plethora of use cases e.g. real-time machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, autonomous vehicles and robots, digital twins, AR/VR for training, etc.
Control – you control which users and/or devices have access
Reduced costs – a single infrastructure instead of multiple communications technologies reduces initial build costs and lowers technology refresh costs over the long term.
Highly secure – enterprise-grade security with local breakout.
Performance assurance - delivered through enterprise-grade SLAs covering maintenance and end-to-end monitoring.
End-to-end services – cover network design, build and maintenance so you can focus on your strategic priorities.
Foundation for innovation – access our global ecosystem of technology to drive your digitisation with Optus’s Edge solutions and preferred devices.
A 5G Starter Kit for rapid testing and learning on customer premises
We understand that if you narrow down the barriers to technology change to their most fundamental level – you are left with time and cost. The 5G Optus Campus Network Starter Kit addresses both. With a short-term proof of concept model, and a fixed base line cost with other add-on optional services, the Kit enables a quick transition to experimentation, testing, use case development and idea validation.
The 5G Starter Kit comprises:
- A pre-integrated Campus Network hardware rack
- A lean 5G radio solution, where each radio provides better coverage per radio unit compared to Wi-Fi access point
- Dedicated network SIM cards
- Basic remote support services
- Add-on consulting services, including on-site support models
Easy to deploy
With simple 5G radio deployment, we can install and kick off within days.
Easy to manage
Optimised and pre-integrated equipment makes maintenance easier.
Low investment
Optimised costs make for easier internal approvals and an accelerated timeline.
Low risk to existing operations
Minimal changes to existing infrastructure reduce impact on business operations.
Flexibility to experiment
Low effort roll-out with pre-integrated equipment to support testing of use cases.
A pathway to scale up
Optimised costs make for easier internal approvals and an accelerated timeline.
Due to its low cost, this lean model accelerates decision-making across internal stakeholders. With network deployment timeframes reduced from weeks to days, businesses quickly gain a cellular connected platform to drive research and innovation.
Integration of enterprise operational technology becomes the core focus, as operationalising use cases like autonomous robotics, smart logistics, video analytics, asset tracking, and IOT-enabled worker safety are no longer a distant dream – Industry 4.0 is now within reach for true development and validation.
