Druid CTO Discusses Private 5G Networks that Meet the Need for Critical Communication Requirements

CTO of Druid Software Derek Gallagher talks about Druid Raemis, offering unique features that are designed for mission-critical communications and a guaranteed quality of service, including capabilities for prioritization and network slicing.

Chief technology officer of Druid Software Derek Gallagher stated that private 5G networks could assist government agencies in meeting their communication requirements while maintaining security.

“Beyond the built-in security private 5G networks bring, they also have the capacity to add extra layers of security,” 

Gallagher wrote in a Carahsoft.com article.

“The other components of a robust network include radio frequency technology and the latest 5G devices and radios,”

he added.

Agency deployment of 5G networks should include, according to Gallagher, the following: a focus on the use case and the selection of partners who comprehend the agency's needs and can take advantage of all the advantages of the Third Generation Partnership Project specifications.

“The ultimate goals are simplicity, flexibility and low cost of ownership. A private network built on open solutions allows agencies the flexibility to integrate their own applications and services, and it is easy and cost-effective to operate,”

he stated.

Gallagher described the Raemis application developed by Druid and described how the platform facilitates the deployment of isolated networks.

Raemis, according to the CTO, supports integration with mission-critical applications, is field-capable of peripheral hardware devices and cloud-native environments, and includes capabilities tailored for mission-critical communications.
