Firecell, CloudRAN.AI collaborate to cut cost and complexity of private 5G | Computer Weekly

"Private 5G deployment is set for continued steady growth over the next five years, largely driven by new network deployment opportunities for system integrators (SIs), but despite the growth, SI-led deployments consistently run into complexity and total cost of ownership issues, obstacles that a partnership between CloudRAN.AI and Firecell aims to address."

"By combining Firecell's delivery model with CloudRAN.AI's modular radio architectures, the two companies aim to make private 5G faster to deploy and more cost-competitive against Wi-Fi on sites where the economics have historically made it hard to justify. Moreover, they wish to expand the radio hardware options available to SIs, focusing on reducing total cost of ownership and on-site deployment time."

"Firecell serves system integrators and enterprises in ports, factories, defence, logistics and critical infrastructure, and develops purpose-built private 5G connectivity for industrial environments. Its services integrate hardware-agnostic, European sovereign core networks including programmable RAN, AI-driven network intelligence and management systems."

Private 5G deployment is experiencing steady growth over the next five years, driven by new opportunities for system integrators. However, SI-led deployments face significant complexity and total cost of ownership challenges. Firecell, founded in 2021, serves system integrators and enterprises across ports, factories, defense, logistics, and critical infrastructure with purpose-built private 5G connectivity featuring hardware-agnostic European sovereign core networks, programmable RAN, and AI-driven network intelligence. Following its merger with Accelleran, Firecell operates across multiple European countries and internationally. CloudRAN.AI provides enterprise and industrial private 5G services with scalable RAN architecture and AI-native network planning. Their partnership combines Firecell's delivery expertise with CloudRAN.AI's modular radio architectures to accelerate deployment, reduce costs, and expand hardware options for system integrators.
