Mexico’s first private 5G network is a collaboration between AT&T Mexico and Ericsson, housed at the prestigious Tecnológico de Monterrey University, marking a significant leap forward for Mexican technology and industry.
The network, located at Tecnológico de Monterrey’s CEDETEC (Business and Technology Development Center) in Monterrey, stands as a testament to the power of collaboration. AT&T Mexico partnered with Ericsson, the network equipment provider, alongside Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey and the local startup hub Endeavor, demonstrating a collective commitment to advancing Mexican technology.
This initial deployment holds immense significance. As Mexico’s first private 5G network, it paves the way for wider adoption and exploration of the technology’s potential across various industries. The network will initially support a 5G-enabled robotics project, fostering the development of innovative use cases and applications in areas like automation and research.
AT&T further highlights the broader industrial potential of 5G, emphasizing its ability to increase productivity, reduce emissions, and enhance safety in sectors like manufacturing and mining. This opens doors for exciting possibilities in various industries, potentially fueling a wave of innovation and growth.
Looking ahead, the successful implementation of this first network is likely to trigger a domino effect. We can expect to see more businesses and organizations recognizing the benefits and adopting private 5G networks, leading to a wider and more diverse technological landscape in Mexico. Additionally, AT&T’s commitment to Open RAN principles in the US bodes well for Mexico, potentially leading to a more adaptable and diverse network infrastructure in the future.
