AWS Private 5G

  • "New – AWS Private 5G"

    "It supports 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) today, and will support 5G in the future."

    Heh.

  • If this has sufficient range, I could imagine it being a no brainer for a lot of businesses that have to stand up quickly (Resources, Warehousing, Tourism). This would give massive flexibility to stand up a new location. The real question is range, and home much this is affected by your neighbours. I imagine in urban areas range will be much smaller then what would be possible on a mine site for instance.

    Combined with a Starlink system, you could deploy a single central point and have sufficient capability to cover an entire campus. While not well supported currently (60 day minimum hire), I could imagine it would be a massive boon to those who setup music festivals and other outdoor events. 150mbps is perfectly fine to run POS transactions and basic coms.

  • I thought such network would be great for university campus, but then i looked at the pricing, effectively 72$/sim/month.

  • I was hoping their partnership with Dish would allow me to instantly spin up a 5G network slice with my VPC over the top.

    This is cool too.

  • it's a CBRS network. According to gsmarena there are 21 devices that support band 48 on 5g and 23 devices that support bands 42/43 on 4g (supposedly they merged into band48 but not listed there like this).

    used to work long time ago in company that was cbrs sas administrator. nobody was sure where to sell it to

  • Crap, 7.2k per month, no private cellular networks for us

  • Not 5G, seven thousand dollars a month, lame.
