Druid Software and Telcofan Enahnce Private 5G Networks: Showcasing Innovations at MWC Barcelona

Curated by: Gert Jan Wolf - Editor-in Chief for The Critical Communications Review

Druid Software, a cellular core network software company and global leader in 4G and 5G Private Networks and Telcofan, a leading consultancy and system enabler for Private Networks, are long time partners to support the delivery of private network solutions for businesses. The partnership has proven to work by implementing new innovations, such as the first 5G Private Network in 2020 and by solving crucial technical challenges associated with building Private Networks as well as.

Both teams will attend the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 26-29. Telcofan will conduct live demonstrations at the Druid Software stand, 6C40, hall 6, on a daily basis at 16:00 local time. Attendees are encouraged to schedule  a meeting or contact us for more information.

In collaboration with Druid, Telcofan successfully delivered comprehensive end-to-end solutions for Private Network SIMs and performance management. Using a web-based SIM management platform, organisations can easily activate roaming between public and private networks as well as to use national public networks as a backup, reducing the risk of downtime. This allows to implement use cases that require end-to-end connectivity, such as asset tracking and mission-critical applications. There is no need for operator agreements and the Private Network will always be the priority in case of overlapping coverage.

The unique solution works with only one smart SIM card that will seamlessly switch between private and public networks regardless of the type of device providing continuity of business applications while roaming national or international.

Lieven Vanthomme, Managing Director at Telcofan:

Private networks, particularly in the case of 5G, promise to transform businesses like manufacturing and logistics, but technical complexity can be a barrier to adoption. Telcofan is helping operators, system integrators and Enterprises on all steps of the process from frequency application to integration and performance management. Together with a partner such as Druid Software, continuous development to make Private Networks more efficient and easier to manage effectively is possible and proven with many customers. Our lightweight monitoring is an excellent example of that.

 

Tadhg Kenny, President of Strategic Partnerships at Druid Software:

Working hand in hand with Telcofan, Druid Software is committed to unraveling the intricate technical challenges highlighted by Lieven Vanthomme. Together, we are laying the foundation for the manufacturing and logistics sectors to fully exploit the transformative power of 5G. We are dedicated to simplifying the management of private networks, ensuring the profound potential of 5G technology is not just a promise but a tangible reality for businesses across the globe.
