BEREC Report on the Evolution of Private 5G Networks and interrelation with public networks in Europe
BEREC's report on the evolution of 5G networks across Europe and the interrelation with public networks aims to deliver fresh perspectives for the NRAs and other relevant stakeholders, and make it easier to understand the different definitions and classifications of such networks, and the related regulatory approaches in different countries. The 20 consultation responses to this report, received in November 2024, have been described in a summary report, and were used to update and finalise the report. The resulting report is a factual state of play of 5G private networks in Europe from the perspective of the European national regulatory authorities (NRAs). Based on a questionnaire to NRAs, it sets out some definitions, different classifications of private networks and also sets out some observations on the differences between countries, and gives examples of uses cases.
